Lovely sunny day again but still a cold wind. Fortunately started earlier than usual this morning to get the ferry back home as Oban was still gridlock due to some scaffolding being removed which meant closing one lane of a main street and single lane traffic controlled by lights.
Trip over spoiled by the most obnoxious loudmouth bunch I have had the misfortune to encounter. None wearing face covering despite it still being law here. When I went to the lift to go back down to the car deck they noticed this and were intent on all cramming into the lift with me even tho' it is clearly marked for mobility impaired passengers. Went into grumpy old git mode and told them they were not getting into the lift with me. Much mumping and saying we never wear masks in England. Pointed out this was not England and they were not mobility impaired anyway. They left with ill grace to go back down the stairs.
Once past the meandering camper vans I got behind a van on a mission and had an easy run up watching his brake lights on dodgy corners. Just stay back far enough to be safe but not near enough to encourage him to let me past.
When I got back my neighbour said he was skiving as the contractors he was supposed to be working with had not turned up. He ended up carrying some of my shopping up and replacing a light bulb which was just out of my reach.😊
I am not good on ladders now and could have fallen trying to do it myself.

Forgot what day it was !
I looked at my Ordnance Survey map and worked it out as 11.5 miles which doesn't take into account any hills .
I will check the wheel circumference tomorrow . I don't want to get diddled out of miles ridden .

The mast will be a bit bigger than a normal telephone pole & have antennas at the top. There will also be cabinets with the base station electronics at ground level.

classic33: I'm surprised that people have had a problem with TV reception, they should have comeback for that. I believe OFCOM are the people to contact

There's more than one who has tried to get the issue sorted, all given similar answers, put up with it.

As for antennas at/near the top, many now look like this in built-up areas. About half as high again as a lamp post.

A year in one day. What's not to like!

Good to see the wind didn't carry you and the wheelie bin away.

I went for my ride and left in blue skies and sunshine. Two miles later I was being pelted in the face by hailstones. It was too cloudy at the stone circle to see a nice sunset this time.
