11 years ago I was most likely being awesome as usual.

Pretty much this time 11 years ago I was in the process of moving back up north from a rather awful time spent trying to make a success of running my own pub in the Peak District. My youngest's birthday is the 28th July and we had just moved into our new home oop North 3 days prior. It was a rough time but I'm over it now!

...... Even if I was back home after being in the Outer Hebrides, mostly Harris, I would have been either asleep, getting pictures developed, or, generally fannying about, no doubt wearing my aforementioned scarf (see post number 8:

I was probably on a ferry in the Outer Hebrides proudly sporting my brand new red Harris Tweed scarf (yes, red, it was a training piece, and I got to meet who made it!).

It isn't recorded what I had for lunch.

)


I wore that scarf for years, even in summer (I know, but within reason, of course), I loved it, and the fact that I had met the people who had made it meant that it was all the more special (I was seeing Tweed being made in Luskintyre, and the guy (Donald John) recognised it as he had helped make it as a training piece for a woman just starting out making it (hence its uncharacteristically (for Tweed) bright colours), so I went to visit her too!). It eventually went all 'funny' and was uncomfortable to wear (barring the fact it was Tweed, the itchyness of which one gets used too incredibly quickly) so it now lives in a drawer and has the occasional outing.

It cost all of about £6 (yes, for Tweed in its 'natural habitat') from the Post Office in somewhere like Horgabost or Roadel, so was undoubtedly one of my better purchaces ever, even if I had to sew the Harris Tweed label on myself.

I don't think I have ever loved a piece of clothing so much before or since.

I was in staying with friends in a lovely little village near Oradour Sur Glane in France.

Much wine was drunk as the house we stayed in was haunted

Alcohol is not important in your life, is it ?

Is that a relevant/necessary comment?

can anybody remember what they were doing lunch time today 11 years ago ???

I was sitting listening to my mate telling me that he only had another 4017 days to go until he retired from the Police.
Today he finally got to day zero, and we have just been out for a small celebration after he skived off work at lunch time. Excellent; I won't have to listen to the countdown any more!
(Doesn't officially retire for another 2 months but has saved up holidays and time off; so today was his last working day).
