More like there was a fog here, going by the light, only there wasn't a fog or even a mist. It were just an odd colour to dawns early light.

Maybe dust, l've seen that slightly sickly looking light here, even in the middle of the day. Its been so dry that even the slightest breeze throws up particles of stuff into the air.

The Outer Hebrides are not having much luck with ferries these days. MV Hebrides is stuck as an artic on board has brake failure and cannot move until a mechanic comes to fix the problem. Must be blocking the exit or entrance as they used to sail with the breakdown still on board till it got fixed.
We lived a short distance away from a major Esso oil depot and regularly got artics loaded with fuel stuck with brake failure as the first serious braking they had to do was before the bend mentioned in an earlier post where cars regularly tried to take short cuts through a thick stone wall.
Friend of ours was an Esso driver and once got stuck during rush hour at traffic lights on Sauchiehall St in Glasgow. He put on a civvy jacket to hide his uniform and lurked in a shop doorway till help arrived.

No breeze to blow the dust up. Just a really odd colour overall to the light just before sunrise.

Text from my sister demanding instant attention and help with something. First time I've heard from her for several months when she last wanted instant attention and help with something.

She can wait for a reply. After all she never replies to me and I have never got even a thank you for the Christmas /birthday cards and money I've sent to her brats over the years.

A tad warm out there, I usually cope with it well but was struggling this morning. Headed up the Roman Road and was musing on the fact that I was treading the same path that Legionaries had taken many centuries ago.

I'd reply with:

Please note that Tyred is in high demand currently due to the present global crisis (pick one) and it may be some time before they can assist.

Someone from my university days 30 years ago is on the same holiday site as us and has messaged me. That's fine, and I'll catch up with them, but I must look similar to when I was 20

He doesn't

SIL messaged my wife last night to say she'd 'reluctantly' taken an old bike to the tip. My wife had taken a look at it (as it had been put in MIL's garage) and said to her sister that hubby wouldn't look at that pile of rust. Just not worth his time. I no doubt, if I'd presented her with a bill for £40 for pads, chain and cables she wouldn't have been happy. I've stopped working on piles of crap !

Although, did pump up the tyres for my neighbour yesterday.

Tubeless tyres are so passé. Mrs Tenkaykev has just returned from “ Big Tesco “ with a pack of tubeless loo rolls 😮

Don't knock it - they are great - you get loads more loo paper ! And no 'rolls' left lying about - the 3 other adults can't take the rolls down stairs for re-cycling for some reason.

Yes, they’re a great idea, first time I’d seen them and wasn’t aware that such a thing existed.
