fingertrouble: (timbearcub moody shot)
Benches are scarce but rules is rules

About an hour to wait for the bus to Callanais, so while in Stornaway I decide to get some food, and am cordially invited to the concept of scottish pie, a heart attack inducing confection of deep fried pastry and mince...Very nice!

Problem is, where can I sit? Wander down to the picturesque harbour (nope), past the few benches in the centre (all taken by pishheads or kids) so I check at the waiting room & see no sign so start to eat.

After a while the mardy bitch who mans the desk comes (there is no better way to describe her, she was made to demonstrate that old Yorkshire proverb 'face like a smacked arse') and told me off for eating. I finally see the tiny no food sign attached helpfully to the back of the electricity transformer.

So I go outside, all benches are still full and I get plopped on by a seagull. I don't think they get it.

Just in case you think I'm a moaning minnie, despite the sarky mare today was a great half day walking around the Calanais stones, everyone else was friendly, locals and tourists alike, and me likewise. I just obviously hit a bad one. I'm reserved and shy but I didn't come all that way to be nasty to the locals - but people being officious yet inefficient gets me everytime, be I in London or Timbuktoo.

Same went for yesterday, a lovely yet badly described hike to Rhue.

So don't get me wrong - I'm going to keep highlighting the pit and prat falls for future people wanting to visit this world, but it doesn't mean I'm ranting at the locals or having a bad time...

I mean I'm in Stornaway Chinese restaurant drinking a bottle of wine with the locals dressed as Osama Bin Laden for no apparent reason. What's not to like?

So a good happy Saturday night to you all!

It seems like some Wickerman style fancy dress party.

Maybe they do this every Sat?
