The high life ...

...Also known as a wet night in Oban. This was earlier this evening as my pal and I headed out for dinner in EE-Usk, an excellent fish restaurant on the North Pier - it’s the lit-up building with the red roof. The wind was considerably stronger than when we arrived just over an hour earlier, and the rain was just beginning.

Now it’s pouring, and we were soaked in the ten minutes it took us to get back to our hotel. A jolly chat with a friend met by chance in the restaurant has cheered us both, ready for Diocesan Conference and then Synod.The telly seems to have only news channels - hardly a recipe for a quiet night. Bed and book appeal.

More excitement tomorrow...
