Rainy days and caipirinhas

19 October 2004

182.
I'm glad to say that normality has been restored after yesterday's rant. That does not mean that I am taking anything back. No. I meant every word I said (and I was holding myself back). Today Liam and I met up with fellow Dundee Pbaser, GAVIN, and we went for a walk in the direction of the Sidlaws. The weather started off reasonable, and we were having a nice conversation about families, photography and football. We made our way to our destination, and stopped off to take a few pictures when the heavens opened. It was raining so heavily that we could almost have swam back to Dundee. We phoned a taxi instead, but were having little luck on account of not knowing the name of the road... and the taxi company was apparently not willing to dispatch a vehicle to "the place where there are some containers in a field just up the road a bit from a field full of rubble on the road just past Trottick on the way to Auchterhouse". The dispatcher told me to hold on, which I did, then she hung up. We decided that we might as well get wet walking back to Dundee as get wet standing where we were. As luck would have it, a passing taxi driver going off duty took pity on us three drowned rats and took us home, where Gavin and I partook of these caipirinhas as consolation for an unsuccessful photo day. Cheers Gavin, and thanks for the loan of the teleconvertor.

Seemed pretty clear instructions to me! Those caipirinhas look good - well worth the soaking I'd say.
Si Kirk19-Oct-2004 22:36
good to see you in better spirits today but i agree with all you said, i spent my youth following my father around in the RAF only to see it and the rest of our armed forces slashed to peices by shite goverments, lets hope GWB or bLIAR dont get back into power!
Robin Reid19-Oct-2004 22:23
LOL at your adventure. You don't look too soaked. Neat that you are hooking up with other Paders. How many are there in Scotland?

A good time was had by all...Liam too I hope. Hi there Gavin, nice to meet you.
Herb 19-Oct-2004 21:33
Cheers lads.
Guest 19-Oct-2004 21:27
the drink looks scary! certainly looks a lot more appetising than the bottle I have in my hand just now... Morgan's SMA Milk, ah well might have a can of Tennants after I put him to bed, before he' up for his next feed...

Happy people is a very good PAD.
Guest 19-Oct-2004 20:49
I find the flower behind the ear quite fetching.
I just now read your rant of yesterday. Well said!
You can only imagine how extremely frustrated and
frightened so many of us are feeling in this country.

Ed... that's the latest in costume jewellery for middle-aged professional Scotsmen. Didn't you know that?
Zak19-Oct-2004 20:13
you're really starting to meet a few folks from here now! :-)
Ed Knepley19-Oct-2004 20:12
Enjoyed looking through your galleries. Enjoyed your rant, too. Right on! The only down note that I have is - why do you have a big yellow flower sticking out of your ear?? lol
