Looks like more days lost - how time flies. BUT I did sit down last night to write up the continuing adventures, however an unexpected phone all from RGB, leading to a dramatic !! rush to town to do a bit of emergency tiling in the Merat Bar to enable the kitchen fitters to get on with their refurbishment today. So of course, no early bed, but still had the early rise to head for Glasgow and then Risley . The M74 and the M6 was a bit of a nightmare, heavy rain, gusting winds, hailstones (yes), and in the wee Smart car - an adventure, bouncing all over the road - no time to doze off today.
Thought I was doing well until I ran into a massive tailback of slow moving traffic between J26 and J21A - queues of lorries, made me think that several years ago the then Government pledged to get freight off the roads and onto rail - big no no there when you see the thousands of lorries on the roads.
However, I did make it to Risley in time to sit in the car park while a heavy "Squall" passed over, hailstones and all - new mug of tea, bacon roll and then north again.
Belated birthday greetings to Jock (Sunday name John) Sked who had a super lunch with family and friends at The Dolphin Inn on Sunday - hopefully he will enjoy his DVD of "Whisky Galore", between episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys.
Still, get time to regroup now, couple of quieter days with things to do in town.
