a week later

It's Saturday evening listening to Travelling Folk on Radio Scotland and the arthritis has kicked in after a 12 hour day on the fish (hanging nets - quite a physical operation as they are 80 or 100 metres in circumference and 10m deep). A 7:30 start tomorrow grading - another physical day - and then a week concreting floors. The gales and storms of Monday and Tuesday did not damage any of the sheets of plastic as Jayne had weighted them down really well. Did not get home until Thursday lunchtime after leaving on the 7:35 on Monday. Great hospitality at Lachlan and Fiona's for two nights then Wedndesday was another 12 hr day - I ended up leaving Luing on the last ferry at 10 p.m. after giving a talk to the Community Council about renewables. Luing could have a a great project with a marine turbine as the Cuan Sound runs at 8-11 knots. So it's been a busy week. Campbeltown Grammar enjoyable as usual - only a very few immature 14 yr old lads. JCB working okay now though the flywheel needs tlc. Problem is that by Monday morning when we get the mixer going I'll be knackered and hobbling about. Suppose that's what the pain barrier is for..
