My name is Seumas McSporran and I’m a very busy man. I’m 60 years old and I have thirteen jobs.

Also, I and my wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.
I live and work on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 20 people live there but in summer 150 tourists come by boat every day.
Every weekday I get up at 6.00 and makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 I drive the island’s children to school. At 9.00 I collect the post from the boat and deliver it to all the houses on the island. I also deliver the beer to the island’s only pub. Then I help Margaret in the shop.
My wife likes being busy. too. We never have holidays and we don’t watch television. In the evenings Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00 we have a glass of wine and then we go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.
