So I am now a permanent resident of Tobermory. Happily welcoming me is my wonderful wife Claire, oh, and Storm Ashley which is bring us all a weather bomb!
Tobermory harbour this Saturday morning. No sign of “Ashley”.
I’m at home in my Oodie carefully purchased for many my darling wife. Initially I thought she was a) taking the p**s, b) in no uncertain terms letting me know we’d not be engaging the heating, since that involves money and she’s Scottish (yes, I’m being financially racist.)
Erm. Darth Cobley. Trainee Sith Lord.
However on wearing said Oodie I have discovered it’s very comfortable, warm, and it is electrically heated!!! My gadget side is in love with it. And it works a treat.
To be honest I’m 53 years old and it’s probably more a case of reaching that age where legally you don’t have to give a toss as to what you wear, or for that matter what people think about what you’re wearing (as long as not naked in public.)
Me and The Boss. Tobermory Harbour.
I am over the moon at being reunited with Claire on a permanent basis, previously only having been up for holidays.
I continue to run found us my advertising and head hunting business, whilst Claire is living the life and loving teaching Biology at Tobermory High School.
Storm Ashley
Well I can safely say that heading over from Oban to get a ferry from Lochaline was windy and rainy to say the least.
Lochaline waiting for the ferry.
Saturday (today) has been lovely to say the least, beautiful sun, the sea a millpond. So, “ha” to Storm Ashley. Come and get me if you dare! I know have a heated Oodie.
It is at this point in typing that I decide to check the Met Office App.
Note the time is 7.22pm tonight. All is gut!
9am tomorrow, Sunday 20th October. All is not gut!
Looks like I’ll be hunkering down asleep in a self heating Oodie and hoping Tobermory does not get blown away or flooded or both. My mind casts itself back to the safety of Tameside and Manchester.
(Oh, and did I fail to mention that The Boss is presently out with the ladies for a moonlight swim in Tobermory Harbour? Help… I married to a nut job.)
