where does the time go

Eight days since I looked at IB. Hopeless. But I should get my biggest paycheck ever this week! Out at the airfield lots of officials are coming and going, but no-one knows anything about planes. I'm beginning to think airports and airplanes are completely not connected. Has anybody ever built a disused runway before?
The helipad (mobile phone reception area) is due to be turfed this week. The sprinkler is on it. That is why it is raining.
My trainee chef has some new chefs gear, and looks very smart, almost too smart to do any cheffing. But the sleeves are a bit too long!
The phone book arrived today. Every issue seems to be smaller. Is the population of Argyll shrinking everywhere (except Coll)? Or are people giving up landlines and living on their mobiles?
It is book club tonight. I didn't buy the last book, and I haven't found anybody else who has read it either. I liked Neil Gaimon's Neverwhere, and I have mjc's suggestions on my wishlist, so I will probably buy the next book, but read mjc's instead. Bloggers are a bit like imaginary friends, useful as excuses, and real people indulge my pre-occupation with this not-real world.

I'm still trying to work that out.....it's awfully philosophical...Kant quite get there. Did Anita Shreve fall off the map?

What specialties will be offered in your restaurant/hotel? Do you accept Dinars? (of course you welcome diners, I know that, but Dinars and Rupees?).

mjc from NM,USA


The Coll Hotel can be googled, mjc. Well, I enjoyed it...

Re-read that blog. It's awfully dis-jointed. FC, I got three quarters through Anita Shreeve, went to book club and discovered the end, so I thought I'd go back and read the beginning again. I still might. But probably not for some time. Mjc, if you want to pay for your meal in dinars we are more likely to say yes after you've eaten than before you order. Venison and crab feature in this year's menu. I prefer the venison, it comes ready to cook! The crabs have to be boiled and shelled. By August me and trainee chef will know far more about each other than is necessary through chat while preparing another load of crabs.

Shouldn't there be a question mark at the end of the title ? As seen here? And here? Oh and here as well ??And to answer your question time goes round and round in a clockwise fashion. Does that help you in any way ??? Please tick which is best....................... This answer was great........................... This answer was mediocre..................... This answer was a load of B*llocks......... Thank you for visiting Twsipedia

Tws from School of Corrections


I think you're right Tws, there should have been a ? in the title, but Nic is too busy becoming familiar with her trainee chef and a rather disturbing amount of (disjointed) crabs....and there's no vet on Coll....

Flying Cat from cominootmashell


Too busy writing 'I must remember question marks' for teacher Tws to blog. Trainee chef looks very smart in his new chefs jacket, and a satisfyingly large amount of crabs arrived while I was absent with leave down at the burger van.

Very practical, Nic, very practical. Have a very good season. May your clients order venison ("Our venison is particularly good this year ...").

mjc from NM,USA


If no-one reads the books what do the book club do?

Caraid from Glasgow


Caraid: I am afraid that folks with Support your Local Bookseller t-shirts have been spotted (cf. Google Earth - ?) jogging some evenings on the deserted tarmac of Coll International Airport. The craze for physical rather than mental agility seems to have taken Coll by storm.

mjc from NM,USA


Mjc - the Coll Run is on the last Saturday in August this year. Caraid - The book club also reviews wine.

Nic from Coll


Nic, hopefully the wine reviewing is followed by wine tasting. # Let us all have more info. on the Coll run.

mjc from NM,USA


This might explain why it's difficult to get to the end of a book...

Flying Cat from Another carousel


book review and wine review in the same evening - do you do the wine first - so that honest opinions come thru about the books?

mia from in a sunbeam


The Coll run is a half marathon run round the west end of Coll. It didn't happen last year because of the airport construction. I might suggest this year's run uses the runway as part of the course!! I think it is raising money for the play park this year, there may be 5k and 10k runs as well, and there is bound to be a ceilidh after...FC I was inaccurate about the wine reviews, we just drink the stuff. I get much more passionate about beer and whisky than I do wine.

Nic from Coll


Aye Nic, agree about the beer and whisky, i get as passionate as a newt with them but the wine is more difficult.

Wee Dram from Old Mull


Just don't get passionate with a newt!

Nic` from Coll


Never mind running on the runway... it would be perfect for drag races!!!

Buzz from Glasgow


or curling!
