It seems the local God botherers that sometimes hang around the market square now print their leaflets in Polish and other languages. Nice to know they don't discriminate
Bit rude.

Warm and overcast here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well, but we had a power cut this morning (emergency repairs) so not much I could do earlier. So I treated myself to sitting in the garden with a book. It was sunny earlier, but not now. Had a glass of water with lunch - the power came back about 15 mins ago, so I am now supplied with
Currently sorting paperwork and watching Southern Brave v Welsh Fire in the Hundred.
Show reports went up on the GCCF website last night, this morning had a message from the show manager to say thank you for the lovely reports, and that it was a good reflection of the cats we had. Never happened to me before, so I'm well stoked!

Regarding the suggestions by the polly tician, I don't smoke, I'm teetotal and I can't actually remember the last time I had a takeaway.
I've always lived frugally - people do look down on you when you yellow sticker, don't waste food, don't "do" holidays, don't have the latest tech and run an old car, but all of a sudden, what I do every day has become really trendy.
What I do is just pure common sense, though. I don't want for nothing, I'm happy and comfortable. But suddenly I appear to be a guru. Oh wait... I am one on here...

Tent now up in the living room. Tinybug has entered and is resisting all temptations to leave.

Was not in the past and spent 25 years in the whisky industry which entailed a bit of entertaining which obviously involved whisky. Now my gastric reflux rebels at alcohol.

Rain stopped so I got the edge of my front path mostly cleared of weeds and my neighbour cut my grass.
Still cold and very windy tho'.
The ferry breakdown this morning was genuine but now sorted so back to normal timetable in the meantime. Warned that the local Calmac office will be shut for 2 weeks from 12th September as Michelle is on holiday and rather than put somebody else in they just close the office which is not very handy for locals. Nearest office is 21 miles away or use a phone.
Managed to get the ferry bookings I wanted but the last space on the Sunday sailing off.
This does not mean I am last on as I am a "lift car" and get parked near the passenger lift.

Negotiations have concluded: the tent will stay up for tonight so Tinybug can sleep in it. She has also been promised immunity from tickling if she comes out before tea time.

Have spent the afternoon working on my archive, searching online, checking and cross-checking references. As a result, I've managed to attribute photographers to seven more photos. Might sound trivial, but that kind of information does tend to go walkies over the years as stuff gets passed around, and these prints date from 1984 and 1986 respectively. The photos from 1986 were taken using a mirror lens, which gave an additional clue.

Georgie is a sleepy boy ! He came in about 2 hours ago and went to sleep on the settee . The damp weather has brought him inside whereas we hardly saw him during the hot weather .
