Should be plenty of fibre then ! :whistle:
 
Currently trying to transfer the handwritten bike repair checklist Elder Son helped translate onto Excel. As this involves Excel, it is of course taking about five times as long as it should...

It's officially cat yo-yo weather. I'm not leaving the conservatory window open for the cats to access their run as it's too cold working in the conservatory.

In out, in out so far this morning, tapping to go out then in. All the much worse when you've got 4 doing it, and all deciding they want to go out at different times.:crazy:

I can definitely see the advantages and am not in any way anti-Kindle but have never bothered to buy one.

I enjoy browsing second hand book shops.

I used to get books from our local charity shop. Localish rather as it is in Craignure 21 miles away but could go when waiting in a ferry queue. Trouble is I now have far too many books and have stopped going there anyway as too far to walk for me now.
Wigtown was a Book Town and probably still is. Another place we got far too many books.:ohmy:

That is the thing, they do tend to accumulate but I give them back to the charity shop if I don't want to read it again.

I use my local library quite a bit too, very good for classics in particular as well as all sorts of other things. You can take a chance on a book in the library if you're unsure if you like it as you just give it back if you don't get on with it and it doesn't cost.

Our library is a bit inadequate and a good library is one of the things we missed when we came here all those years ago. In fact it is now being closed in a couple of weeks time.😠

Stormy looking morning but forecast for sunny intervals.
The Western Isles Hotel has introduced loyalty cards and wants to encourage more local custom. It is an upmarket place so many tend to go elsewhere tho' the diving club used to frequent the bar after training sessions.
They are offering 10% off meals which makes sense and 20% off rooms. The latter does not make much sense as anybody local using that facility would have the jungle drums beating red hot. Faster than the telephone here.:whistle:
