Turned out a better day than expected but still showers which discourage me from getting the trike out on the road.
Sky looks very black and wet in a southerly direction and it is getting colder for the weekend.
Working on the logistics of getting to Oban for an endoscopy. My son in Taiwan should be home in time to ferry me around but he has been struck down by a virus infection which may delay his return. Need to wait anyway until they get in touch and I can try to get things sorted then. Calmac bookings may be a problem but with a hospital appointment I should have priority assuming they have got their shambolic system sorted by then. The shambolic remark came originally from a Calmac employee.
Another recent scam I got was a warning that my icloud storage is full and unless I contact somebody to pay money then everything will be deleted.

I have a new kettle. A stainless steel quiet boil Russell & Hobbs. It was on a clubcard offer as well.
All is well with the world.
No eggs, leaf tea or malted wheat cereal in Tesco. Picked up a dozen eggs and the cereal in Aldi on the way home.

Oh, and I had to delay my departure earlier, because the heavens opened. Only the one shower though, but it was one heck of a hefty one - several roads in town were flooded...

Lots of clouds in different shapes and shades, rainbows, and a hailstorm at the exact moment that g-daughter was let out of school. She seemed very happy to take the coat that she had point blank refused to wear this morning.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Builders have been working in the hated holiday house opposite and demolishing some outdoor steps.
A neighbour took her car out and they immediately had a small lorry in the space with a narrow metal runway up to the tailgate for a guy with a wheelbarrow to take the rubbish up and tip it in the back. Runway looked pretty narrow but it did remind me of my farming days and mucking the byre out.
We had about 40 milking cows and in winter there was plenty every morning to wheel out to the midden.
The system was that one loaded the barrow and the other took it out and changed places every trip.
If you overloaded the barrow the other got their revenge next run and there was also an element of competition.
The midden was about 7 or 8 ft high by spring and the trick was to get a good run at it with as much speed as possible at the bottom of the plank which got pretty slippy.
My co worker Wee George misjudged his speed one day and was going so fast he failed to stop at the top tipping point and went straight over into the quite deep slurry still holding the barrow shafts. He had to get hosed down before he was allowed inside to get changed.
Took the rest of us half an hour to calm down and stop laughing. Easily done tho’.

Cream of celeriac soup, eggs florentine and hot buttered toast to dunk into the eggs.

A few weeks ago the owner of my apartment said he'd soon be doing 'a bit of garden work'. Today this was the view when I got back from work:
Germans really don't do things half way...

Excavator is on the small side, and has no "dozer blade" either. A bit of a lightweight really.

Probably all he could fit between the garage and the house.
Also, I don't know if you need a licence for a bigger one.
