On Saturday night, like I said
We had a great meal in the Boatshed
Too tired for a band
The music got canned
By 8:30 we\u2019re tucked up in bed.<\/p>

For days I\u2019ve been getting more manic
With a noise that\u2019s now making me panic
So there\u2019s nothing obscene
When Den\u2019s Vaseline
Is applied by our touring mechanic.<\/p>

Den frets that his skin will get burned
A lesson he long ago learned
He procures some sunblock
That it\u2019s sold here\u2019s a shock
But the weather has suddenly turned.<\/p>

We\u2019re up at five for the morning ferry
The outer isles are soon just a memory
We had a barrel of laughs
And a few photographs
Of scenery so striking and solitary.<\/p>

On the boat we keep looking for whales
A keen eye is all this entails
But despite a long glance
We\u2019d have just as much chance
Of seeing Scotland from Wales.<\/p><\/div>

On the mainland, traffic volume is low
But the drivers are all giving it a go
They fly round the bends
To whatever ends
Surely missing the mountains on show<\/p>

For the hills and the glens are unreal
We\u2019re so lucky to see them, I feel
In other conditions
We\u2019d have but one mission
And that\u2019s to keep turning the wheel.<\/p>

It suddenly turns bitterly cold
An icy blast from the north takes hold
Across Unapool bridge
It\u2019s a fan-based fridge
And once again I feel desperately old.<\/p>

At Rhiconich we wait to be greeted
Needing to be delicately treated
We\u2019ve got used to the warm
So a return to the norm
Makes us feel as if we\u2019ve been cheated.<\/p>

A challenging ride to be sure
From which rest is the only cure
But with all due respect
In the morn I expect
Another tough day to endure.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
