Ok the dark is beginning to bore me. Thought my alarm clock had gone mad this morning as I woke up in pitch dark but no鈥�. it just is dark. So here鈥檚 a list of good things about the perpetual dark to look forward to:

All the fairy lights look pretty 鈥榗ause it鈥檚 dark!
The Brodick Christmas lights get switched on Sat 3rd at 4pm there鈥檚 a raffle to decide who gets the honour and there will be mulled wine etc.
1st Minister Jack McConnell opening Kilmory Village Hall Sat. 10th & switching on lights.
Lamlash lights and Christmas parade Sun 11th at 3pm with usual stuff

Can鈥檛 see the state of the garden & can鈥檛 do anything about it because it鈥檚 too dark!

Can鈥檛 wash the car cause it鈥檚 too dark to see what I鈥檓 doing!

Don鈥檛 feel guilty for burning half a tree every night because it鈥檚 freezing because it鈥檚 dark!

Ghost stories work better in the dark!

Might manage to get a photo of the barn owl that lives next to my house because it鈥檚 dark all day!

Always remembering to take a torch with me when leaving the house because no matter what time I leave it鈥檚 dark!

Walking into a warm cosy house and scoffing half a galleon of hot chocolate because I鈥檝e just battled against a force 10 gale walking home in the dark!

Can鈥檛 see how much rubbish you鈥檝e put yourself into debt buying for Christmas because it鈥檚 Dark!

Coming out of the pub after lunch doesn鈥檛 feel so weird because it鈥檚 dark!

Sitting in the nice warm bar of the ferry because there鈥檚 no point going up on deck cause it鈥檚 dark!

It鈥檚 too dark to see the hole in the hull of the Cal Mac Ferry when it crashes into the Pier in high winds! The Ferry crashed at Ardrossan last Friday; it was the only ferry to sail in the whole fleet that day. The Cal Mac spokesman said, 鈥淭his occurrence is nothing out of the ordinary. Ferries make contact with the piers on a regular basis.鈥� EH? They did get welders in to fix it and the ferry did sail about 10.30pm to get everyone home so good on Cal Mac but would rather they stopped crashing鈥�

What else is good about the daydark?

I went to the mainland last Tuesday for Christmas Shopping. Glasgow was packed. People kept bumping into me, everyone looked miserable, the shop assistants were useless and there were huge queues at every checkout which I couldn't be bothered standing in. Then I realised I was standing outside the new enormous multiplex cinema in the City Centre! A cinema that's NOT in the back of a lorry! Not only that but with a choice, yes a choice of movies! AND starting every 10 minutes!!!! So I watched the new Harry Potter, glutted on Popcorn then met Julie for a glass of wine before catching the ferry home and nothing on my credit card! Have decided to do all my shopping on queue free friendly Arran where the shop assistants really do help because they know who I'm buying for.

Mind you I still don't know what to get my Dad, he's impossible, especially as he's pre-empted me this year by saying he doesn't want a jumper, socks or alcahol! Well that's blown it!!! Any ideas at all please, please, please?

This is turning into a general ramble... I've got loads of work to do today so I'm mucking about on here to avoid doing any of it. I've read every blog including the Western Isles pages (which are very good)! I started this morning by reading the Arran Banter from cover to cover which takes some doing when the only piece of news was an article on how someone took the wrong jacket home after a funeral last week and how whom ever has his jacket will know because it won't fit them and there's a mobile in the pocket and could everyone who has a black jacket please go & try it on. This article managed to fill two columns... It's nearly 5pm and I've done absolutely nothing all day! I've so far managed to avoid doing anything at all that might actually be of any use! Excellent! I would take Backofbeyonds' advice and look up where the people who leave comments are from but I might learn something and that would constitiute doing something useful so no... I'm blaming it on the dark!
