Partying in the pub

Well last night turned out to be great fun! After our very nice pub food we stayed on for the live music later. This was a singer with guitar and he was very good. The locals were up for a party and there was a great atmosphere. I had come out wearing climbing trousers and a fleece so I quickly drove back to the hostel to get changed into something more suitable for dancing. Davie kindly kept me company and we made it there and back in 30 minutes which is pretty good going. Some of the locals partied so hard that they didn't last for the whole evening and several were seen being helped or carried out before 11 p.m.! I liked all the music and the crowd's favourite was a country and western song - "Wagon Wheel" which was one of the many encores at the end of the evening, and which will forever remind me of Harris! Instead of "Rock me like a wagon wheel" everyone sang "Eat me like a wagon wheel" in tribute to the well known chocolate biscuit; I loved that! A guy with an accordion joined in with the music and was so jolly that his wife had to keep going over to make sure that he didn't fall down and eventually got him to sit down to play! He was a very good musician all the same. Some of the group went back to the hostel a bit early for a night cap but the rest of us stayed on until the end, it was brilliant. The singer finished by saying "I love you Harris - despite everything!"
When we got back to the hostel very late, I got ready for bed then attempted to get into the one bathroom (James and David had got ready quicker than me and were already asleep). Unfortunately one of our group, who shall remain nameless, had gone to sleep in the bathroom and it was an hour before I managed to wake him by knocking on the door every ten minutes. This is the problem of having only one toilet for ten people! I considered going outside because I needed the toilet so much but it was very dark and late! Oh well, one day I will look back on it and laugh!
