Sunday 02/07/06

Very quiet Sunday. After going to church, our Swiss guest continues on a walk, to return just before 3pm. Mrs B has great difficulty getting a taxi to take him to the airport. Although temperatures in the south of the UK will be exceeding 30C today, up here I'm quite happy with 15C. After lunch, I head out for a stroll into town up Cromwell Street, then up Church Street all the way to Matheson Road. Cross at the traffic lights and continue along Goathill Avenue to Smith Avenue. From there on it's downhill to the Island Road roundabout and Newton. On going down Smith Avenue, I lose the wind and it gets very stuffy. Notice a number of young tourists sauntering aimlessly through town, looking well bored. Day remains overcast, and slightly breezy. At 5pm, I watch a group of man standing around a boat that has become beached on the rocks of the causeway. Sun comes out after 9pm, the sun comes out. Supper was pasta with a bolognese sauce, very good. Manage to sort my AOL troubles by unblocking cookies. Not quite sure if that really resolved all issues - still having trouble with captions.
