Looks like the Hebridean Princess returned after overnighting at anchor a couple of miles away.
Cannot see her from my windows but probably alongside at Macbrayne pier.
Lots of lost looking peds wandering past and all look a bit lost while gazing at phones. Well dressed and the men are wearing hats rather than caps with longish grey hair. They all look very similar being tall and slim. Probably off the cruise ship and getting a bit of shore leave. This is not a cheap cruise ship.
Spent most of the day looking at old photos on various devices but I will not bore you with more just now.
I do have a couple of steam lorries and some other steam stuff taken in Lerwick a few years ago but more suited to a different thread.

Do you mean hats like the ones worn by Hassidic Jews?

I shall repot some houseplants later.

The Monstera that I repotted earlier this year is growing like Topsy.

Swimming tomorrow. Maybe a bike ride too. Me, not the Monstera.

Lovely supper of curried parsnip & potato soup, then a venison burger, fried onions, a jacket potato and steamed pointy cabbage & leeks. I am a bit stuffed.

Photos of steam lorries always welcome. I remember a Foden steam lorry on solid tyres getting well and truly bogged at a vintage rally in a rather boggy field many years and the efforts needed to extract it again. Industrial Fordson E27N with a large winch to the rescue after attempts to tow it with a traction engine and an MF590 failed. There were none of the enormous modern tractors around here then. It would have been an interesting video but camera phones were somewhere in the future.

Bedchamber? Oh, my! Where I'm from it's a boudoir.

Bedchamber? Oh, my! Where I'm from it's a boudoir.

Boudoir? How fancy! Just a bedroom, where I am from.
I had to learn my French, some en universite, some au lit.
