Back home and mostly unpacked so knackered now. Intermittent light drizzle and a strong wind in patches when travelling up the road behind a timber lorry. These guys do not hang about and at one point he ( or it could be she) was doing 65mph so I got a fast run home. One local timber haulage contractor used to have several female drivers know collectively as the Spruce Girls. Temp down to 15.9C so more comfortable.
Got into conversation with a couple of settlers using the lift but they were too important to put on their hazard lights to warn the deck crew that we need to be parked by the passenger lift thereby causing problems while this was sorted out.
They have been here 12 years they said while pushing the lift button repeatedly while trying to get back to the car deck despite me telling them it would not work until we were alongside the pier.
“ Do you know Calum and Jeanie the wife asked?”
“ There are a few C & Js so what is the surname?”
“ Don’t know”
Patronising which explains why they are mostly disliked as they only know the local peasants by forenames and cannot be bothered finding out the surnames.
