Don't bank on it. I was once rudely ejected from McTavish's Kitchen in Oban for my cheek wanting breakfast at 0930. Far too early.

All sorted. Cafe open. Just waiting on my breakfast now

There was a big SOS in here as when I arrived the staff were standing out in the street. Seems there was a spider in the till and two girls who work here were terrified and ran outside until another customer had removed the offender

Must have tempting to remove a few tenners as well...

Time for a second cup of green tea 🍵

Breakfast eaten.

Several things have occurred to me while out about this morning.

It is actually cold enough to need my woolly hat. In June!

I will have a severe head wind riding to Cairnryan.

It's nice of Dumfries and Galloway council to give helpful information to advise me against doing anything stupid! Otherwise I would never have known not to jump in the lake.

It is amazing what a lucky buy at an auction can come up with . It brought back some memories from the 60's and set me off to do a bit of research .
It is trying to fit the pictures in my memory to dates and other bits , a bit like a jigsaw puzzle . 1962/63 was the really bad snow and frost time . Fun when you were young as I was off school for some time . Frozen toilets! They were outside across the playground in those days. Junior school .

Was the toilet one that was open to the elements

As kids we had a competition to see who could reach highest up the wall.

Back home and first cuppa went down well.
Still sunny although a few white fluffy clouds are around.
Garden birds have been fed.

Did you get the bimble?

Yep 20 miles worth

Yep 20 miles worth

I thought a bimble would be shorter than that.

Joking apart, you seem to be making an excellent recovery.

I'm an hour early for the ferry but may as well sit here as sit in the park. 180.11 miles covered on Scottish soil. Should have been more but for a few problems.

I'm pleased I'm travelling by bike and not by car. Enormous cues of vehicles waiting to check in and then board whereas I will just go straight through.

Why does another waiting passenger keep pacing up and down the floor past the automatic doors and causing them to open and close? He should go and walk somewhere else!

My curry leaf plant has arrived from the Netherlands. It's very small - I guess they photographed it using a specialist make plants look bigger lens.
