Driven to drink by the midges!
That's a new one.

Try Sligachan camp site on Skye. You have to carve your way through the midges with a machete there and the pub is the only refuge.

Another bright sunny day and I seem to have got the recycling bin day right as others have their bins out as well. The chart published by the council for bin dates was done by a sadist of some kind and is impenetrable so it is often just pot luck and bins can lie out for a week till emptied. Frightened to take them back in as it could be just a lorry breakdown causing the delay.

Pinged by NHS app at 04:45 this morning

Turned out to be a scam. The link went to a very convincing clone of the NHS web site which gently leads you through to a page asking for 99p postage and a form to input card details

I made a mistake when I was wild camping up in Scotland (just south of Oban, if I remember correctly).
I heated a can of Macaroni Cheese on my stove, grabbed my Spork and shovelled some into my mouth completely forgetting that I was wearing a midge net over my head...

My first tea of the day was undrinkable. The milk had turned. Mug no. 2 is repairing the damage done by the first.

I already cycle to work, I probably would keep doing so...

But do you not use the train to return to your family?

Owdo

Aye up.

Ooh! There's going to be an incompetence vote !

Is it open to anybody to enter? I think that's something I could win easily 😁

Now on my way home after a night away and the only difference is that the greyness outside the train is dry instead of yesterday's wet.

But do you not use the train to return to your family?

Good point; it never occurred to me to use it for that...

Mind you, with fuel prices as they are, I doubt I'd move it more than I had to.

 

[Jenkins]

Aye up.

Guten tag.

Keep an ear to the ground.

Shoulder to the wheel

 

[classic33]

Aye up.
