Pam had a U3A meeting this morning so we dropped her off at the St Magnus Centre and had a wander round town. Ann wanted to do some shopping so Dave and I went round the cathedral. We then met up with Ann who wanted to see the cathedral so I went round the cathedral again with Ann while dave did some shopping. We were going to go round the museum but no sooner had we got in than Pam phoned up to say the meeting had finished so we abandoned the museum until another day and met up at The Reel for a coffee before going back to Burray.
I bought a copy of the paper and found that there was a large photo of me with the cockerel from the Hope show. Fame at last.
Back at Burray Dave and Ann went down to the pier to try some fishing again. This time a triumph. Dave hooked 4 fish, 3 dropped off but he landed one.
Apparently this was the first fish that he had ever caught in his life. (He must have had a terribly mis-spent youth, playing chess and all that when he should have beenout fishing with a stick and a bent pin.)
I think that the pleasure he got from catching that fish made the cost of the tackle seem trivial. The lads who are always fishing on the pier seemed almost as pleased as David that he had caught one. We bought another 3 fish from the lads and had mackerel again with our tea.
