Flick of the Elbow
Pentlands Water of Leith
Back from a damp little wander that ended with a loop around Heriot Watt. Very quiet, students obviously not back yet.

Blasted Beeb axing Ski Sunday ! 
Saying they need to save money ! Well they could axe Wombledon , especially when they put it on both channels so people haven't got an alternative!

B&Q about an hour ago.
Unable to find one of those wire scraper devices for raking out between paving slabs. I asked a likely looking B&Q employee if they had any. She didn't know but thought there were some in the storage area.
Off she toddled. Time passed. Then more time drifted slowly past. Finally out the corner of my eye I spotted her.
Atop some steps 20m away dealing with wall paper🤯
To be fair she didn't actually SAY she would go and look.

Got the shopping done early while the washing machine was finishing off which was a good thing as the wind was picking up and drizzle started as I got home. As a result the washing is currently drying on the clothes horse in the spare room. The overnight bag has also been sorted and all that needs to be decided is whether a light fleece will be required or not - probably not as I'll be indoors most of the day.
I have managed to run the mower over what is left of my lawns, so at least the various weeds have all been cut back and the debris from next door's tree has been picked up. I hope there's no sudden grass growth spurt in the rest of September as I think the mower's next outing will be to the recycling centre for disposal given the noises it was making.

I've never tried filling one from a coffee machine and I doubt that the small flask I have would keep it warm until the morning.
I have no intention of using one of these 'Hub' hotels again, or anywhere else that doesn't have in room facilities. I wouldn't even be using this one if it wasn't for London being the only UK date for the band I'm seeing.

Have you detected that I get a bit stroppy when I'm having a day with the fairies?

last night mini ck 1 wanted a mcdonalds and i thought fair enough as she had been through a lot with the operation but ms ck wanted fish and chips and would not change her mind , trouble is they cook the fish fresh so by the time it was done the kids food was cold and now she has a bag on because she cant admit that her being awkward caused issues and shes ignoring me .
Black paint arrived this morning so the pedal ends touched up. One fine the other needs a bit more plus ideally some white.
In the depths of lockdown I had discovered small paintbrushes can be cleaned of enamel paint using hand wash (or at least the Lidl Aldi varieties) so no subsequent pong of enamel thinners

A woman called Liz tells me it's very good for short stays...
A chap called Andy booked it for a while, too, apparently 😐
Another horrible day at work. At least only four days this week as I'm off Friday and Monday.
The weather for my Islay trip looks "interesting." Friday morning when I'm supposed to be sailing is very bad according to the forecast, and I've had a text message from the ferry company saying they are monitoring it and will make a decision tomorrow.
It throws up problems. I have booked to spend the first night on Jura, but if the ferry is delayed until the afternoon, I may not have time to get to Port Askaig for the last ferry (which could also potentially be cancelled...). Of course the accommodation is non refundable.
Why do I enjoy cycle touring in remote and windswept places? It would probably be easier to go and barbeque myself on a Spanish beach like most Irish people do.
