Which is the reason that we are obliged to wear Kevlar sleeves and our safety gloves; quite substantial ones, have to be dumped and we are issued with a new pair every day.the sort of stuff people deem fit to stick in among that lot...
With the bridge / numpty driver thread, check out '11'8".com' on YouTube. It's video footage of what is probably now the most famous bridge in America due to the number of times HGV & campervan drivers have 'misjudged' the height clearance 
despite the many warnings and flashing lights. Hilarious, especially the one with the army truck - !

Not our ferry but one on the Harris route is out of service to get the rudders inspected by divers as it is not steering properly.
Bound to be knock on effects but should not affect us this time as our current one is too small.
The settlers have terrible problems with ferries and getting their house contents from Hampshire and such like places to take over another part of Mull.
They get as far as Oban where they get weighed before being allowed to board a ferry with their furniture. This comes as a great surprise to find something like a weighbridge in such far off places. The lorries are mostly overweight and told to go away or words to that effect so they have to unload some into containers in Oban with much wailing and complaining.
There is then a gathering on FB all with similar tales of woe. They should just have stayed where there were.

Wet and squelchy here chez Casa Reynard. Currently sunny here, but there's another bank of storm clouds moving in from the south west. I think we had 36mm of rain overnight.
Didn't sleep well - brain refused to switch off. Hey ho... But friend and I managed to find a window in the weather to have a lovely walk with her dogs around the local playing fields and some nearby trails. Good decision to wear my gardening jeans, as it was VERY muddy. It's just nice to get out and set the world to rights. And get some exercise at the same time.
This afternoon will be spent making soup and working on the Higman model.
It is almost time for luncheon.

Yikes!
One of the most memorable WTF moments while sorting out charity donations was finding a carrier bag full of soiled nappies inside a bin bag of other stuff...
