What's a blog then

Well I am busy at work so briefly:

Weather started fab but we have had a run of sharp showers over the last half hour with sunshine inbetween......

Skype....I think it's really good for non-business communication - apparently there are security issues for anything more ?!

Twitter - just started looking at that - great for keeping up to date on the cricket.....when it's not raining that is!

Spent a week on the Ardnmurchan peninsula in Kilchoan.
Portuairk Beach

Sanna Beach

Well it's been a busy weekend....which started on Friday as we were invited to a good friends daughters wedding. The bride was lovely and the groom was kilted and it was a great day, good food, good wine and good company and the rain stayed away. The only down side was the minister/priest who addressed his entire service to the congregation, including the wedding homily. The only time he lookad at the couple was for the wedding vows - but the rest of the day was great and more than compensated for this.

Saturday was a doing odds and ends kinda day and then on Sunday morning I skype'd my uncle and aunt in Australia so that my mother, who is 85, could see and talk to them - she has not seen them, in the flesh as it were, for 26 years. She was delighted to see and talk to them before she returns home tonight.

And Top Gear was back on form last night.

And now work!

Watched the Top Gear on Sunday and great entertainment ..... laughed out loud when James May could not stop his Capri in time and destroyed his piano - the replacement he bought for the last one he crushed.

BUT....Has Top Gear lost a something this series - maybe it is all the other stuff the presenters are doing but they seem less focused

Bowling in the rain last night - still.... came out victorious in the end ...just!

Mrs I is getting tango'd (or is it Irn bru'd) this afternoon in readiness for Friday.....I think it is the diet option - opted for a pale one so as not to appear overdone.

I heard yesterday that a friend of ours is terminally ill....so a bit of a downer.... and they have brought forward their daughters wedding so he can be there.....sometimes you don't realise how lucky you are....
