Vic

 

Sad to say our great pal Victor Posse died yesterday.

Think this picture sums Vic up - always up for a challenge here riding a tandem criterium race with Evelyn some years back. 

A fine fellow, he will be missed by everyone not least his wife Gwyneth and the rest of his family.

Rest in Peace Sir

We went to the picture houde the others  to see a talkie. Very nice at was too, lots of good actors and all that.

While we were there we bumped into all manner of local minor celebs taking in the opening of a LooM retrospective. Was lovely to see a few familiar faces again. We have not been to an art opening in ages. Well, not for a month anyway. One of the pieces on display was based on our brutalist bus stops we have here , like this one in our village below a brutalist church building.

 Normal as in wind and rain over the village here. 

Been out but better indoors.

We got off the bus because it looked like it might be an interesting place. It wasn't that interesting to be honest so we sat on the pavement till the next bus appeared; then we got off by a harbour full of gin palaces and yahoo Henriettas and a welcome cafe - once we had negotiated the extensive road works. such are the delights of the last day abroad place when you have run out of energy and drive. I mean, me on a tourist bus? I'm from Bath-Spa and quite the better class of snob don't you know.

It's peeing with rain atm. Tis cold and windy. I did enjoy a short stroll to the crofters this morning to take some greens for the wee animules of which they have plenty.

Now, as I write this on wednesday I am trying to decide whether to go to indoor bowls in Stormoway or  else stay home and watch the many bike races that are happening and being broadcast. Mmm, now what to do?

Lots of them, in every cafe we passed and on the road as well. Looked lovely and I so wanted it to be me.
