Not a good week for the tar boys. They quite like Coll, but would also like to finish the job and get home. The tar came in on Sunday and was unloaded so Monday should have seen them back at work, but they only had two small lorries so there was a lot of waiting between loads. There is a new driver and he passed (or failed) the usual initiation test; in spite of being told do NOT, NEVER, NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT, go off the road to let another vehicle past he did and got stuck. There was a short delay in the deliveries of tar. On Tuesday the lorry tipped right over on its side, I鈥檓 trying to get a picture, but the pic I saw on the phone looks as if it would be fine if you turned it through 90 degrees. I gather it took 2 JCBs to do it for real. On Wednesday the paver broke, but only for 40 minutes. But all the tar was laid. I get half a mile of shiny smooth black stuff to drive on and it is sooo quiet! On Thursday they were laying gravel until a hydraulic hose broke on the roller. If the gravel isn鈥檛 compressed the next car over it leaves tramlines, so they had to stop. Today (Friday) the road collapsed under the lorry. I was too late, it was out when I got there so still no picture, but also no gravel laying. I gather they tarred Colonsay in six days, Coll is looking like six weeks. They cheered up when I told them there was roast pork tonight, they are into red meat.
Actually they weren't as happy as I thought. The barge had hit a rock in the Sound of Mull. Rocks and boats don't mix well, and the barge's load capacity is somewhat diminished, meaning Paddy will have to brave the weather more often than was hoped.
Meanwhile the lorry concerned with the collapsing road has been put back together. The loose axle has been tied back on. Not that reassuring but I understand large bolts were also involved.
