Car delivered to garage. I've come to the conclusion that a Brompton is a must have accessory if you own a Skoda as it is very handy for getting home after leaving your Skoda at garages.

I've bought a new HDMI switcher so I can now use my Xbox, PS4, Apple TV and cable TV without having to pull out plugs at the back of the TV.

It's getting noticeably darker every morning.

Thats a bit odd to say the least, normally it becomes lighter in the morning and noticeably darker in the evening

Did you tip your neighbours upside down and gave them a shake ?

Got 5 emails from HR to do online courses, Anti-harrasment, bribery and corruption, business ethics ,data privacy and LOA awarness.
None of the links work to any of the training courses. Result!

They're going to need to add an IT course....

Warm-ish, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard, but with showers lurking around to piddle on the unprepared.

Had a lovely morning in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres. Rode up to one of the best blackberrying spots in the local area and picked me a load of blackberries. I ate quite a few too. Was lovely to be outside. I did have rain gear with me, but didn't get more than a few spits and spots. It can now rain all afternoon, I have enough fruit to make a pudding and stuff.

I've also discovered a couple of crab apple trees, so am thinking making apple & blackberry jelly...

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

I got rained on this lunchtime. My trousers are taking a surprisingly long time to dry out.

Wouldn't get much wear in our house.

I tend to wear them out after about six months; as I work with customers it's best that they don't look too tatty.

The trousers, that is: I don't care what customers look like.

Our draft winter ferry timetables have now been released by Calmac.
We are to have either a large ferry or a small ferry or sometimes both together. A potential nightmare for anybody wanting to travel dictated by the date which timetable applies.
With their usual aplomb they allow 11 minutes to get from the railway station to the ferry so while running with luggage you have to know whether to dive into the terminal and upstairs to the boarding ramp or if the small ferry continue running another 100 yards to the car deck entry.
Then when arriving on Mull the coordination is such that the bus to Fionnphort is scheduled to depart 5 minutes before the ferry arrives. This problem also applies to the northern bus route.
The latter did happen in the past and to be fair the bus driver usually waited for the ferry regardless of schedule but if the ferry was late sometimes had to go anyway.
Negotiations continue so these problems may be resolved.
Another of the joys of island life.
