It's Black Bin Day today.

Windy as forecast and up to 58mph about now but the sun is shining.
The sea water level in the bay has risen as pushed up the Sound by the wind and there is mild flooding on the main car park and lipping on the the Main St.
Sandbags will be out.
My workshop was on the main car park and nothing electrical or indeed anything critical was below 3ft above floor level. This policy paid off as we were flooded a few times over the years. We also lived down there and the water level in the downstairs loo was just lipping the edge on a couple of occasions.
Got a phone call on my landline yesterday inviting me to what my wife described as "that hell hole" in Craignure to have a consultation with the head man in the General Surgery dept of Oban hospital about my gastric reflux.This will be early tomorrow.

I can breathe through my nose today.

It's Black Bin Day today.

Mines just been emptied, due to an adjacent private drive is always one of four and on today's mystery hunt it turned out to be the third one away from my drive.

If the girl is on fire call the fire brigade. Don't just shout about it !

Bin's have bin emptied.. And left in close proximity to the house! 👍

Changed the dressing, partly because the other one was saturated and blood was still running out of it, but also because I had to change my bag, so crap and an open wound... Interesting!

And yes, I washed my hands thoroughly before you ask! 😆

Jeep Cherokee
Mazda CX5
Toyota RAV4
Subaru Crosstrek

won't list what I've been doing w/Son & the cars under his consideration. are you in the market? I'm sure the models in the UK are vasty different & much more economical, fuel-wise

Rav 4 Hybrid, I have driven most of these and find it best, although others at work hate it. Have you looked at Ford Bronco? Looks intriguing, Fords and I are not the best of friends, historically.

I would also be remiss not to recommend Nissan Pathfinder.

 

[Gwylan]

Cycled to fitness class, despite the possibility of rain. No rain, but a lot of wind.
Put the bike on the train to come home. Wise move.

Then some supplies shopping in the town.
Have a rendezvous with Vanessa tomorrow. That's a 30km round trip.
Determined to get over 50km a week

Pouring down. Will not see V today

 

[Gravity Aided]

I think I shall go to work, and then go to Peoria. Medical stuff and train watching, thence return.

Thank you @Speicher . We were planning on taking the boat over and walking back. The weather is a tad blowy so we'll check to see if the boat is running today. 👍

The Marina, where the boat arrives, is near a Water Sports Centre which has a cafe. So you should be able to get a cup of tea/coffee while you wait. Or even a scone or cake.

I find it much quieter to stay in Portinscale and go into Keswick, or other places, rather than stay in Keswick.

I see a very keenly priced Dawes Galaxy advertised locally and am trying to persuade myself that I don't need another bike.

My first coffee was too weak. My second was a little too strong. Somewhere in between there's a happy bean mean.

@rockyroller - if you're test-driving a RAV4 try a Honda CRV. I won one last year (see 'Motoring' sub-forum titled "£30k to spend...") and have been impressed with it

Mind you it's predecessor was a Peugeot Partner Tepee, so not much of a comparison, although I had a Saab 9-3 Aero convertible before that.
