Drains, Nessie and a Milestone
A glorious day for gardening today but I did little of that apart from cleaning out some drains in Tain this evening. No, today I could be found eating fish and chips at 'Harry Ramsdens' in Inverness and then strolling on Dores beach on the shores of Loch Ness. It was at Dores Inn, incidentally, many years ago now, that a couple of folks working behind the bar told me how they occasionaly spotted 'Nessie' in the Loch but didn't publicise the fact as it was unlikely anyone would believe them, particularly if they'd had a dram or two.
Tomorrow is a milestone for me as for many years, in addition to gardening, I have had a part-time job two days a week. Tomorrow I finish the part-time job and go full-time gardening. A wise choice? Who knows, time will tell. I have met and worked with some good and remarkable people whilst there and many vivid memories of both funny and not so funny incidents will endure in my mind for many years to come. What was that job? For anyone remotely interested a brief mention can be found about it somewhere on the world wide web, though where exactly I forget now. That's the thing about the web, of course, once you put information on it then it's there for all to see.
