You enjoy it too then?
I try and make light of it, but it really was a depressing day and glad to have it over again.

Forgot about the half day. The problem for people travelling was that the half day could be Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in different places.
Tobermory was Wednesday and Oban was Thursday. Tuesday or Thursday were market days in Oban and they are still popular travelling days for shopping due to the ferry timetables being biased in favour of farmers with livestock.
When we had a shop we closed for lunch and on Sundays. Not for religious reasons but the turnover did not justify it. In the 1970's at least there were no ferries on Sunday and Sunday papers came from Oban to Grasspoint on Mull by Granny Spencer's launch. From there they were distributed by car to the various shops which were only open for that purpose.

Morning all...If only I could turn the clock back, this time last year me and my daughter were on our way to Heathrow to fly off to New Zealand. Hopefully we'll be able to go again sometime!
Back in the 80's me and MrsGM bought ourselves Barbour's in the yuppie days, got me thinking now what we did with them, probably put them on Ebay.
Enjoy the rest of the day folks!

Coffee?
Off to put the kettle on for one myself. I can see a siesta happening at some point since it's so awful outside. I don't sleep, but it's nice just lying listening to it and saves me getting a headache from too much screen time......the iPad in particular seems to cause it. I might find the film on Amazon later about the street cat named Bob. I watched the first one and enjoyed it. This is the Christmas one. A bit sad though as I was just reading that Bob has since died at the age of 14

He popped in briefly earlier.Good morning all. Was up at 8.30 to take Molly for a walk then went back to bed and just got up again.
I think I will skip breakfast as it will be lunch time soon. Horrible weather here again today but that seems to be the norm anyway.
Has @numbnuts reported for duty yet ?
We do, both, like curry.
Not sure I fancy a veggie curry although I realise many people do.
I will mull that over..... thanks.
