Well on the Kindle anyway. Oddly enough I know very few people from the Island who claim to be immune from seasickness. I'm not immune I'm just fortunate enough to be a good sailor and only to have been sick once in 38 years crossing the Minch. However if I have to lie down on an overnight crossing in rough seas that's entirely a different matter. I might blog about that one sometime!<br /><br />Thank you SP. It's always good to be home however much one enjoys being away.<br /><br />Well, Katherine, coming from one of the most interesting of people I have ever met I take that as a compliment. I value your comment too, Monica, 'cos you certainly are not boring either. Perhaps you might find today's post (when it's eventually done!) addresses the issue.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-4714819020215596502011-10-07T08:55:11.561+01:002011-10-07T08:55:11.561+01:00Katherine's got a point.

Because the vivid, interesting, well-travelled, sporty, kayaking, well-read and well-connected chap you are in these pages (and in life, 'cos I Know) certainly is not boring! Do you think possibly it needs a tiny re-write? :-)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-50851942702545893502011-10-06T11:39:50.200+01:002011-10-06T11:39:50.200+01:00Welcome home GB,

At sea, you come across plenty of people very bad indeed, whole boat-loads of them; but I never met a man yet, on land, who had ever known at all what is was to be sea-sick. Where the thousands upon thousands of bad sailors that swarm in every ship hide themselves when they are on land is a mystery."DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-28972393658608362412011-10-06T09:04:21.962+01:002011-10-06T09:04:21.962+01:00Norma: Analogue clocks are still hugely popular he...Norma: Analogue clocks are still hugely popular here but less so for the bedside.<br /><br />Pauline: I see too many unlucky buggers not to appreciate how lucky I am!<br /><br />Adrian: Fortunately I'm a good sailor but it wasn't as bumpy as some crossings of the Minch I've done particularly in the days of MV Suilven. A corkscrewing tub she was even though she was reckoned to be one of the most seaworthy of boats according to her Masters. Anyway I had a curry in mid-Minch on Tuesday so it couldn't have been that bad. Mind you everyone else seemed to have lost their appetite by then.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-57290117193602790672011-10-06T08:50:10.377+01:002011-10-06T08:50:10.377+01:00Glad you made it back safe and sound.

I too hate digital clocks; my reason for the hate- if I look at the clock without my glasses, I can't read the time. On analog clocks I can at least see the hands and figure out the time. Whose idea was it to make mostly digital clocks? I'd like to put that person in time out...for a long time.Scrappy Gramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009685288094065223noreply@blogger.com
