Happy Glasgae Fair to all!

[Robinski he/him]

Tis the eve of the Glasgow Fair, the traditional two-week workers' holiday in the 'dear green place', when the factories emptied and it was a popular tradition to go 'doon the watter' to the seaside towns such as Rothesay, Saltcoats and Dunoon.

 

This was often achieved by paddle steamer (train also an option), including such as the PS Waverley, the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world that it still in operation, built in 1946.

 

So, anyway, happy holiday weekend to me (I get a day off), and I hope you all have an enjoyable, creative and satisfying weekend too

Hah, that's interesting - I'm working not far from Dunoon, over in Tighnabruaich installing a micro hydro electric system. Mandamon mentioned you were based up here. I'd assumed you down South in Cambridge.

 

Work's been exceptionally intense this last week. I've just finished (2:40am). Had zero time for writing but have been working my way through feedback for you guys. Will be without internet connection for a while though. The Glasgow fair looks interesting - I'd swing by if I wasn't heading out to the Western Isles. Bike and ferry all the way!

Ha, cool. I just assumed you were in the US of A like the majority on here. Imagine that.

 

I live in Bearsden, north of Glasgow.

 

Funnily enough, the company I work for used to do mini-hydro work, way back, designed a couple of sites in the north of Scotland and did many studies. We are civil engineering consultants.
