Not a good forecast for tonight’s sailing to Aberdeen. Force seven, eight and occasionally nine, eight metre seas…and there’s no chickening out. I am Seasick Santa, ready to head south on a mission to IKEA, Drum Central, Sainsbury’s and to extract son Magnus from his student enclave, Yule celebrations for the purpose of.
To which end, I’ve just hired a Renault Kangoo van. I would have taken the horrid Maverick south, but a combination of the EvilBay seller not sending the DVLA his bit of the registration document, and my losing the wee green piece, has left it off-road and untaxed. Huh.
The week promises to be hectic: Sunday Herald Diary to write, Music Dept (Aberdeen HQ) Christmas party on Thursday, Ping Pong Banana Show (it’s a band) gig on Friday, various family visitations, IKEA, that drumkit, shopping and more shopping, then boat back on Sunday. Phew! Oh, and a few radio shows.
