A Ramble to the Post Office



With which cartoon character do you most associate yourself? With me it has to be Eeyore. His sad and cynical approach to life is so appealing. Eeyore was created by A A Milne in the book Winnie-the-pooh in 1926. This pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, old, grey, stuffed donkey and I have a lot in common.

Don't tell anyone but the scheduling worked on this blog last night. I put the textures posting in a couple of days ago; mainly to remind me to post it on Friday. But, hey presto, it posted itself on schedule and was here when I got up on Friday morning. Let us hope this is not just a one off and thanks to everyone for their suggestions and comments as I have moaned about this issue at length. Especially Granny who tried so hard to find a solution for me.

My head is spinning. That is because I have just been doing some cooking. Why should cooking make my head spin? Because GB has a cooker hood and I have yet to learn how to avoid banging into it every time I go to stir the contents of a saucepan.


I went out for a walk to the Post Office this morning to post the ferry tickets to Jo. It is the tiny little white cabin in the middle of the above picture. You go through someone's garden gate to get to it. The Post Office is the only facility that can be found in Eagleton/Lower Bayble/Upper Bayble. Apart, that is, from a bus to take one into Stornoway where the other facilities are. It seems amazing in this day and age that a Post Office has survived in such a remote rural community. I'm sure that if this were in England the Post Office would have disappeared long ago. So congratulations to the powers-that-be for keeping it open.



Off to take the cookies out of the oven. Have a good week-end - bye.

Scheduling

This failure of scheduling to work is a real pain. It means that I go to bed at night vaguely hoping that at midnight my new posting will appear . It doesn't. So I got up very late this morning and it was 9 a.m. before I put the computer on. Seeing the scheduling hadn't worked I pressed edit and publish and my new posting appeared. However - two things then happen. Firstly it is shown as having published at midnight - a lie. Then on the sidebar of people who have Rambles on their sidebar it appears below everyone who has posted in the last eight hours and therefore has the potential for being missed by anyone who uses that sidebar to visit blogs.

I have tried everything I can think of and cannot fathom out why it is happening. My other blogs are working OK. How big do I have to write this -

HELP !
