We are in a long period of rain again here so this morning before it appeared I decided to nip to the local shop to pick up some bulky items that are around the same price as in town. This saves me heavy work on my Saturday shop in town,
The main item I get is 4 boxes of cat food which are not only bulky but none too light.
As I got to the crossroads that conect me not only with most of the shops but also the bus route town there was a road closed barrier
The road that goes from east to west the width of the island is closed for resurfacing.A section at a time is closed and this time it is the main route out for us.
I will have to check with the bus company tomorrow but it looks like I will have a hike.
For today I settled on getting the cat food, the rest of the stuff I needed to get to the Co-op for so that was out.
When this road is finished the other east west road to the north will close,that is also on the bus route.
Plenty of short tempered islanders around here I guess and when that has finished stage two of the massive bridge repairs start.
Happy days ahead?. I think not
