You are beginning to sound a bit like me re the Grockles. In my case they are not here for the weekend but at least a week.

Down to the local Calmac office to get my tickets for a trip off. This was booked and paid for on line apart from my concession which needs a card to be displayed so need to visit an office.
Getting booked for essential trips is very difficult now. My neighbour has to take his works van to Oban in 3 weeks time and he cannot get booked on any ferry so far.
Went promptly at 9 o'clock to get my tickets for somewhere near to park. Chaos at the ferry queue for Kilchoan as there are far too many for this non bookable service and those arriving meeting those trying to get out and go elsewhere. The street is parked both sides for a fair distance as well and delivery vans are trying to do their work. The joys of the tourist season and it is only going to get worse.
Finished that task so up to see a GP. Patter merchant this one. Says there is only one thing wrong with me so far as he can see. Old age.
Couple of buzzards circling behind the house when I got up this morning. We used to call them Tourist Eagles. Later just outside the town a couple of sea eagles circling who then moved off towards Ardmore to the north of us.

At first, I was in Covid-precautions mode looking at that - I thought the man was reluctant to get closer because neither of them is wearing a mask... It took me a while to spot the guillotine!It was down in the early hours, what about the nightshift?

I give up, just rang the hire company "the said car will be picked up at the end of the working day which could be from now up the 20:00 hrs" 
a bloody whole day wasted.............
a bloody whole day wasted.............Nah.....I really don't mind the Grockles.
They bring money into the village and they are generally here for the right reasons - to enjoy the beauty of the area and to have a happy time.
The busy season is only about 8 weeks. We tend to go inland then.
The rest of the time we have it to ourselves.
