i was going to do a Reynard yellow stickering but that was knocked on the head as there was plenty of stuff which is unusual when I am in Tesco but I cannot get home now till Sunday.
I was sedated for my endoscopy today which invalidates my car insurance for 24 hours. The only Saturday ferry booking I could get would be 2250 which means getting home well after midnight. I used to get this ferry when young and fit but not nowadays.
By spinning a sob story I managed to get a booking mid afternoon Sunday. There are no foot passenger bookings left for Friday. In the past pre touroid we could rely on travelling when we wanted on foot or bike. It hits those with onward train or bus connections particularly hard.
Life here is getting more and more frustrating.

After a lot of faffing managed to get one of this morning pics on the iPad.
Ben Cruachan and Loch Etive plus of course the important foreground.

The smell of the glue the cobbler used when re-soling my shoes is overpowering!

My new hiking UPF50 baseball cap turned up today.

I went for a very daring black colour.

Just back from dinner at The Hermitage Inn, Warkworth.
Haggis with tatties and neeps in a red wine gravy is a treat to be savoured. It was extraordinarily yummy.
Could have done with being a tad bigger but nevertheless excellent.

The Masons Arms is also great and good portions.

Tomorrow is the day the world turns a full circle (for me at least). Tickets go on sale for The Sisters of Mercy at Rock City in Nottingham. I last saw them live on March 11th 2020 at the same venue with what I maintain was a severe cold. Five days later Boris announced travel restrictions and we went into the first lockdown seven days after that.

this is Thursday, correct?

It had better be - I'm not going through today again tomorrow.

Fabulous supper of cream of mushroom soup, then salmon baked under a lemon & parsley crumb crust, buttered new potatoes, steamed green beans and roasted sugarbelle tomatoes.

Compliments to the chef at Chez Reynard.

Mesdames Poppy & Lexi had some salmon too, and the rest of the side is slowly being turned into gravlax. Oh, and a friend took two portions of it as well.

There's still enough baked salmon for another meal.

I hope you left a generous tip!

No, but there's a rather nice chocolate pastry thing for the chef for later.

I think I shall have an early night and catch up on some beauty sleep.

 

[Reynard]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's time for that nice chocolate pastry thing and a to go along with it.

Italian beef sandwich with jus, and Green River, along with French fries for dinner here. I cut the grass before dinner. I also had to find the siding company who did repairs on my home after the windstorm, they had moved. To within a mile of me.
