9TH APRIL 1986

Few notes describing. yesterday’s trip to Inverness. Left brake fluid resulted in no brakes but we were lucky because we found some fluid in the trunk. Back to the log. Travelled out to Inverness, hoped to see Nessie but no luck, seems she’s on vacation, probably gone to some warm waters in the Pacific. Inverness is guite a large city, people everywhere. Louise brought Lizzie, her black Labrador, nice little animal but seems to enjoy human flesh between her teeth. Invernessian’s seem to take to Lizzie, I’d be standing outside a shop while Louise went looking for thread and the locals would smile and say what a pretty animal, not me stupid, the dog. Some even dared stroke the animal. Lizzie was incontinent in one of the streets of I pretended not to notice, hope she didn’t smell the place. Saw young guy get lifted by the fuzz for shoplifting – unlucky fellow. Dave and Janet had done most of the shopping by the time that we met them, all that was needed to do was haul the food-back to the car and be on our way.

Stopped in at some little village where we brought some cakes, and generally stuffed our faces – Louise fed Lizzie in the local cemetery while J & D got the ins and outs of the cost of cemetery’s, diggings, and deaths. All in all it was because his wife left him – nice little village eh? Back in it felt she was haemouraging (something like that) internally but she got us home – Amen.
