There's a local chap, a retired Pipe Major who does weddings / Celebrations / Funerals etc.
Seems to be quite a demand for his services and he contributes to the RAF Benevolent Fund.
Happy St Andrews Day
( Mrs Tenkay is of the opinion that we should reinstate St Edmund as the Patron Saint of England instead of St George who usurped him)

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Gritting lorry just gone past tho' frost does not seem to be forecast for another couple of days.
Calmac sending out text messages that ferry is running late due late vehicle traffic.
They don't normally wait but sometimes do if the road is blocked but nothing reported that I can see.
They did wait 30 minutes once when I was on board for an ambulance. We could hear it coming from miles away and they were certainly tanking it. A courier for a bus party complained bitterly in public that his party were going to be late for dinner in Oban. He got such a doing that I don't think he dared to show his face here again.

I take it the 100 or 200 is a once a year thing, not monthly?
We are going to have high wind today, but very warm and then wind and possibly snow for a couple of days. The bike will get a rest and I will find other ways to fill my idle hours. I'd like to take the storage shed payment over by bike, and while I could deal with the 25 mph headwinds on level ground , there are places where the cross winds with 50 mph gusts could knock me down or push me off the shoulder into traffic. Climbing hills into hilla strong headwind isn't my favorite either. Yes, I am a sissy, so I'll wait a bit to make the trip.
We've put it off forever but we really need to get a will set up and arrange for quick and easy asset transference, funeral arrangements specified and whatever else will make the inheritance process easy and conflict free for the kids. The problem is we have helped the younger more than the older due to the younger's ongoing health problems and I am not sure what is fair.
Well, be safe, healthy and happy. Carpe diem.

Well I've ended up doing bugger all for the entire day. Weather has been appalling.
It's online exercise class at 6.30 so I think I'd best get ready and do a few warm up exercises......... otherwise I may seize up completely.

At last, I managed to get pudding rice at Sainsburys so guess what we had for dessert tonight? 
All home made as well, much better than the watery stuff you get out of a tin.

They are all just waiting for me to go to bed, before rushing off out into their local freezing mists! 
Okay, I give up then. You have my permission to get up now - I'm outta here...

Good morning. I'm first but will hopefully be asleep again after a brew. 3.30 when I woke 
It's very bright and clear and we've had a hard frost, not surprising as we're forecast for a beautiful day.
It's No 2 son's birthday so we will pop over to wave through the window this morning.
That's all folks

I love the sound of the pipes, one of my favourite albums is by a ban called Clanadonia that we first saw playing in the street when we were up your end of the country, awesome sound.
Nearly forgot, morning all.
