Life at the end of the road. August 31, 2015. Everyone should have one :-). 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 10:32 pm. One was needing help with an inverter and one was after bread. After depositing son and beetle man on ferry it was back up the road to feed the pigs,. Put another coat of paint on the rear cross member. When Lachie arrived with a pallet of Spanish slates for the ‘Bunker’ I pressed him into rescuing the Quadzilla. I really must get one of these, every croft should have one. August 30, 2015.

Life at the end of the road. August 9, 2015. I can see :-). Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Airtightness testing Skye. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 10:45 pm. I was extremely confident that Archie Macdonald’s design and Lachie Gillies’ building would have delivered the air tight dwelling we required but as with most things these days you need a certificate to prove it. This will be a very expensive one that goes along with the plumbing, electrical, EPC, water, scaffolding and blah, blah, blah ...

Life at the end of the road. April 29, 2015. The 12kW ‘tumble drier’. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: SMA SI6.0H. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 5:08 am. Well it’s 5:40am, the hens are done and I’ve just ‘flashed up’ our new ‘drier’,. It’s pishing with rain, which makes a change from snow,. But it’s presenting a challenge in the washing/drying department. The view from our bedroom window. Moving oil to the Schoolhouse the easy way. A blocked jet on the ‘Stream Engine’ hydro turbine, sorted in a few...

Life at the end of the road. August 23, 2016. It’s all over now :-). 8212; Tags: MV Hallaig. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:15 pm. Well that’s the fastest shift ever, ‘But it’s all over now’. Dunno where it went, but that’s it and a right mixed bag it’s been. Great weather, pish weather and just about everything in between. The ‘mixed bag’ ensuring a multitude of rainbows to keep the tourists cameras clicking. Not to mention the abundance of porpoises accompanying the ferry today. It’s been a while.

Life at the end of the road. May 14, 2015. Up in the air :-). Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: conctrete polishing. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 10:35 pm. I ‘clocked off’ at 21:00 again tonight, just as the sun started disappearing behind the Storr. It’s late enough, I’d been at it since 7:00 and at last feel like I’m getting somewhere. This concrete polishing is turning into a bit of an epic, the discs are 120 each and I’m on my 5th! The only way to see Raasay. Here’s Scalpay, where I lived for f...

Life at the end of the road. July 31, 2015. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Calor gas tanker. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 6:24 am. Sorry to have been a little lax on the posting front recently but I kinda got distracted. There were the usual late nights tinkering about in the house after a ‘hard day at the office’ but the truth is I’ve been ‘on the ran dan’. It is after all ‘Glesgie Fair’ https:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow Fair. Http:/ www.blantyre.biz/The-Glesca-Fair.html. Now if we were goo...

Life at the end of the road. June 30, 2015. Flaming June, “aye right”. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:46 pm. Of course that’s not the whole of it, the ‘black dog of depression’ has been looming over more people than just the residents of South Arnish. The traditional driest and sunniest months of the year here on the West Coast have been ‘pure pish’, everything is a month behind and I can count the days on my fingers that it’s not rained in two months. So much for ‘Flaming June’. The next stage of the t...

A bit wonky :-( | Life at the end of the road
https://lifeattheendoftheroad.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/a-bit-wonky
Life at the end of the road. August 7, 2015. A bit wonky :-(. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Cornet crafts. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:00 pm. Had I been writing this then the chances are it’d be a bit wonky with atrocious spelling, as it is, on a key board with ‘spell check’ and with a panty liner wedged inside my glasses it may ‘pass muster’. However, ‘your truly’ returned from Lewis with some kind of eye problem and is now not really fit for anything, though it’s not for want of trying.

From the Inbox (and Outbox) 2008/2009. Emails and queries from readers (also see 2010. I receive a stready stream of emails about the site, some of which I expand into stand-alone articles (eg Going Green in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. And Solar PV in Diffuse (Cloudy) Daylight. And others of which I follow up privately. Also, I've sent unbidden an email or two to register an opinion. Below you will find some other interesting brief interchanges (edited as necessary); I hope that you find them useful. We would l...
