THE smurf here. Well, yesterday was the Stronsay Gala, so I caught the ferry out there and that’s what I did. The weather was fairly decent – it was very warm, albeit cloudy, and it seems it was sunny enough to give me a rather red face and a sore neck: the delights of sunburn, eh? The dance in the evening was OK – there were a fair few faces that I knew, from Sanday and elsewhere, so it wasn’t too bad in the end. And catch the silver sunlight in your head.

Come for me and set me free, lift me up and take me where I stand. The boat journey back this morning was very nice, we were on the Varagen, which, for those who don’t know, is a ferry with a nice outdoor seating area. In nice weather, this can be a very pleasant place to sit, as it was this morning. I’m back, now, anyway. Got to get up early tomorrow morning to catch a 7.30am boat (aargh!) for a driving lesson at 11am, which means finding stuff to do from around 9am -> 11am, then noon until 4.30pm! No doubt that’ll be fun.

Oh, I was listening to Oasis, in case you were wondering. Some of you may have recognised various scattered lyrics…

Owen out.
