Here comes the Gallileocopter

Last nights blog was rather short due to my phone deleting the majority of it on a whim. In tiredness I got enraged so couldn't be bothered rewriting it. The main missing points were two customers; one was a stout highlander who took a disliking to me upon hearing my english accent and the other was a funnier, less ranty story. He was buying tapes for his camcorder when his friend came over deploring the stuff I was selling. I foraged around for an acceptable retort, finding the statement that JVC invented that type of tape so they should be good. He replied in a half joking manner; "Gallileo invented the helicopter, doesn't mean his was any good." After giving him a second to be pleased with himself I looked him in the eye and told him DaVinci actually invented it. His face droppped and he faltered before deciding to walk out, followed by my warning for him never to ride
Gallileo's helicopter. His friend, the original customer, was killing himself laughing as he carried on paying. Now for today. I had a day off which was spent with my relatives staying with us. We went to Nairn as my cousin (who is 3 as opposed to the 2 I reported last week) wanted to go to the seaside. Unfortunately this seaside was deeply unpleasant as it was cold, grey and raining. We soon retreated to the Museum which was pretty good, with an awesome temporary exhibit on Automata; those little animatronic models people make. It was extremely cool and I was mesmerized by everything, especially those little music boxes with a sort of metal comb played by a cylinder of embossed metal. I find them fascinating. Other than that we didn't really do much as it seems every time I go to Nairn more buildings are boarded up; in a few years it'll be a ghost town by the rate its going. A good relaxing day, and back to work tomorrow. Song of the day is On the Path to Fury by Fairyland. It's by no means the first fairyland song ive had but I rediscovered this one today as one I hardly listen to, shocked to discover a harpsichord solo a little way in. That alone justifies its selection.
