Maid in Scotland

I had to go down to Paisley today for a post-op check-up today. I wasn't very pleased, when after a three hour journey, the nurse asked why I hadn't gone to the hospital in Oban, 30 minutes away. I explained that I thought that there was a reason to go back to where I was operated on, but she said no, anywhere would have done! What a waste of almost an entire day - it was hazy for most of the time too, so Blipping was a problem!

Eventually I popped in to see the poor old 'Maid of the Loch' at the pier at Balloch on Loch Lomond. I remember sailing on her in better days, but she's not operating at the moment, large sums of money still being required to get her steaming again. Let's hope that the money is found and she soon paddles around the loch again as in former days!
