I just ate a large bag of crisps*.

*That is, the contents of the bag, not the bag itself...

Ah, you know certain people.

It's generally good to be very specific in case @classic33 gets confused and drops his scythe.

Precisely.

Apparently Windows will be locked if I don't call someone with a funny long phone number

Best thing for it

I had a play with my shiny new HP Elite this morning to make sure all would be okay on Monday morning.

I have to admit it took me a while to find the power button which is now mixed into the main keyboard rather than as a separate button like it has been on every single other laptop that I have ever used.

I have a rather elderly EliteBook, But I'm running Linux Mint

Raining sideways here. I've taken advice from the girls and am doing a Stayputnik. The photo machine in Tesco can wait for another day.

Had two slices of rye toast for lunch, one with rillettes de porc, one with red leicester cheese, plus a pear, a banana and two

Am about to hang the laundry up, and then I think I shall have a nice girly pamper session.

Taking my lead from this one today.
Procrastinating over what size bike I would buy if I could stop procrastinating for long enough to actually buy it.

First cuppa went down well
So did the honey on toast

Add sliced banana to that!

Ferry slip at Tobermory for the Kilchoan ferry. Never looked recently but there was painted on the rock face on the left a slogan “ God is love” which was refreshed every year by persons apparently unknown.
The main sewer discharges into the sea after being treated just to the right.
We did very occasionally dive from there with mouths firmly closed round demand valves until well clear. A couple of giant conger also lived nearby and I came eyeball to eyeball with one once. Backed off slowly and cautiously.

I was waiting for the first ferry of the day. Just me and that bird (and possibly a conger or two!!) and was wondering if it was an omen as it stared at me with its beady eye, but it was a lovely crossing and a pleasant ride to Fort William.

Aaaaaah, that's better... A long soak in the tub with lots of hot water, plenty of scented bubbles and a good book.

I am feeling suitably refreshed enough to go and make myself a

It is still raining sideways here.

A rather noisy squall is rattling the windows..

goals at Elland Road,keyboard warriors are hoping for an abandonment because of a bit of wind.

Open the windows and change the team diet for the next game.

 

[biggs682]

Add sliced banana to that!

Will do next time

Fish fingers and chips for tea so I have just been told

Lots of little steep hills and a car usually appeared just when you had built up speed on the downhill bits.After Strontian it is Ok but best to follow the road straight on at Ardgour rather than go over the ferry to the killer A82 which is admittedly shorter.
Nowadays the Kilchoan ferry is mostly jammed with cars and motorhomes but motorhomes were not carried when a relief ferry was on as they had to reverse on. Impossible for most of them partly due to incompetence but also long rear overhang which struck the ramp.

I wouldn't have made it to the Camasnagoul ferry in time for the last sailing so I did the Corran crossing to the A82. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be,happily!
