old friend

Our friend the North Star was back this weekend. The North Star is one of the barges that brought the gravel in for the airport, this time it was bringing gravel for a new house. I had a technical gravel talk with one of the drivers while he was waiting for some repairs to be done. Barges break down a lot! There were three types of gravel, one lot for the road, one lot to put round drainage pipes and another type for mixing with cement. Gravel is such a fascinating subject. (?) The lorries tested the new road out, and it mostly stood up well, but it started to melt in the village again, and I think I saw the start of a pothole developing on one of the few bits of road that didn't get repaired.

Up at Bousd the Pirate Party and Raft Race (and beer festival) were great. Loads of pirates, the doctor walked the plank, there was nearly a dead heat in the raft race, but the Beko builders team beat the timber kit house team, and now everybody knows rafts have to be built out of polystyrene, so that's my luxury if I ever get asked on to Desert Island discs. Coll's favourite beer is Nimbus, followed by Latitude (both Atlas beers) but we were playing down the Red MacGregor so we could drink it ourselves. It wasn't the weather for Dark Island, although it was fine once everything else was gone. And it didn't rain at all.

Looks as if you are recovering nicely. You must have a good constitution. # Pothole: are you sure it is not a sinkhole? The kind that could swallow a truckload of tar and not spit it back, whatever the temperature?!

Great taste in beers on Coll...have you tried the new ones from Rob Hill who used to be the head brewer at the Orkney Brewery, who has now set up on his own?

Where do we order Rob's beer from? Is he making barrels or just bottles? Can I wangle a free sample (joke). If it ain't worth paying for it ain't worth having.

"If it ain't worth paying for it ain't worth having." NiconColl. Are you serious? Have you thought of the ramifications? Good heavens! I am shocked, POSITIVELY SHOCKED!

Sorry I don't know about the barrels/bottles situation, but go to www.highlandbrewingcompany.co.uk/contact. Scapa Special is a nice light beer...lipsmackin' good!

Hi Nic. Am over tomorrow for my favourite night of the year ... the Fishing Competition!! I'd tell you what MV Skive is dressing up as this year - but I'd have to kill you! See y'all very soon!

Lesley from Costa del Oban


MV Skive dressed up as a viking longship, and the lovely Lesley had to wear sackcloth. I think she should have been dressed up and could have been kidnapped for a bit of raping and pillaging! There was also a boat dressed up as a plane, and a church, and a technicolour Dreamboat, and lots of slightly confused yachtees wondering why 21 small boats headed out to sea at 7 o'clock.
