wow what are those? a real mash-up of a sandal & light hiker! I'm guessing they accept cleats, yes?

Finally got a lunch break after an online conference where I totally didn't fall asleep for two minutes.

Drinking Spezi (German Coca-cola) in a whisky glass.

It's basically like mixing Coke and Fanta.

I just stuck to Underberg and Red Bull when I lived in Germany

That sounds a pretty lethal combination; Underberg has an alcohol content so high you could use it in a Trangia.

Busy morning and only now got time to sit down for a short while.
Dull when I went out and started raining but by the time I got down the street it was hot and sunny.
First stop pharmacy where I had to fight a queue of tourists wanting prescriptions. Why not get them before they come here? I think they get them free even if not Scottish residents.
When I got served discovered the surgery had mixed things up again and given me something I no longer need but missed out something I did need. Phone to sort that but the staff are very pleasant so did not complain.
Next top up car fuel at 102.9p per litre which is a big jump from last fill.
Calmac office for a day trip booking in July with no problem. Need to go to Audiology this time and get shopping as well.
I noticed on my visit to the hospital on Wednesday that every person whether staff or patient had face masks on. The main consultant I know is very vocal on tw----r and thinks abandoning compulsory masking indoor is madness.
Now soup made and a ham roasting in the Remoska.
Now resting.

102.9 ppl?
It's not still 2018 there, is it? 🤔

Got that wrong didn't I. 202.9p is more like it.

So let me get this right, you live in perhaps the most beautiful part of these Isles AND get bargain petrol, that just ain't fair

Mea culpea.

HMRC are going to give me £334 of my own money back.

That's nice of them.
Who's arm did you have to break to manage that?

I was staying in a remote part of Puglia last week and a litre of half decent red wine was €1.85 (£1.60).
The world's gone mad.
