Senior moment!
Today I as up at 6am and out the door at 6.30 hammering my way up to Oban in order to be on the Cal~MAc peir by 7.15. Well I was 3minutes late! and the b******s put me in the standby que despite having bought and paid form my ticket about a month ago! God I hate these officious sleekit wee jobsworths! mind you to be fair they did squeeze me on.
Suffered 3 hours of barking dugs & screaming weans doing the 100 meter Olympic dash throughout the boat while their hapless parents read their bloody Kindles!
Finally docked and onto treea firma about mid day and was getting some strange looks from some of the locals I know. Pulled up at the shop when one of them accosted me saying "what you doing here?" I m here fore the feis says I, "well your a week early" says she!!! oops. got it completly wrong!
All not lost as I managed to squeeze in a few meetings in between visiiting a crony who obviously thought I needed sustenance and proceeded to feed me scrummy homemade soup, beautiful fresh sarnies, melon, tea & home made bicsuits. Honestly I could hardly move, add to that my digs for the night who force fed me wine both red & white and I was well sorted. Now will go into the local office tomorrow and proceed to make funding applications for this beautiful island and its yoof who dont indulge in running mad about the place unlike these unruly visitor kids. in the meantime I leave you with an assortment of Tiree pics to digest (a bit like my dinner)
Catching the 6pm stomach churning ferry back to Oban tomorrow.
Happy blipping all
