Yoof; what are they for then?

Yoof; what's that all about then?

Look, that's The Apprentice. I like him. He has a great line in poses when the camera is pointed at him. I think he might have been trying to be an exhibit in an Lanntair at the time.

We'd been going around the metropolis that is Stornoway snapping this and that. We had even managed to catch up with Mick & Bee in Hannah where James 'The Man' imparted his experience and knowledge of ocean sailing to Bee.

I could tell she was enthralled. It was the way she indicated for Mick to slip the string that was holding the boatee to the side of the floatee bit of the harbour that did it.

Looked very nonchalant about it too. Before they glid off into the watery bit, hoisting their red sail and disappearing from our lives for another good while as they head south and the west to 'Trini' for the cold bit of the year. [not sure why they were here really - it's cold and wet all the time at the moment!]

James took an image or two with his camera while I snapped away mercilessly with the Jupiter12 lens that came recently all the way from CaNada [for which many many thanks Keith]. I was using Polypan-f film @ 200 asa too. Dipped in Rodinal 1:50ish for 35 mins the negs look mighty fine to me !

BTW; it's 10 years to the day yesterday [10 years! how time flies] when Dr Hutchinson attempted the hour track cycling record at the Manchester Velodrome in 'our' Yasumitsu-Schlapp track meet - so he tells me. And then he wrote a great a funny book about it all. Here.
