Rock Cottage (can you see it?)

Loch Moidart , Acharacle

No , its not about Scottish Bobby.

We, the intrepid four who go fossil hunting together, are off to the wilds of Bonnie Scotland in a few days time.

Ardnamurchan actually. Rock Cottage to be precise.

And here are a couple of pics to drool over.

The noo.

How not to open ones mouth too much

Im still going to pilates on a Wednesday , although I dont think it has helped me to lose any flab, just keeps me a bit flexible. However, I chat a lot as those who know me well will testify(remember" motormouth" Ken?) . This led me to chatting with a fellow pilatean(?), Bob, the copper. Nice man , but I believe him to be on the Autistic Spectrum.

The Battle field band

Why else would anyone loan a person not ONE but TEN cds of his favourite folk band simply because she has expressed an interest in Folk music? The person then felt obliged to listen to EVERY cd of the aforementioned band (see pic) , make notes and report back the following week whereupon scottish Bobby presented her with another SEVEN f*****g CDs of the same band!!

There followed another tortuous bout of CD listening, making notes and returning , only to find he was off sick.

Probably out buying more CDs.

Well, Doh!

Is it me again or do some people seem to get money and do research that really serves no useful purpose at all? I speak...with apologies to Sandi Toksvig for stealing her lines......of those who work for the University of the Bleedin obvious.

For example, if you feed an elephant 4000 times the safe human dose of LSD , guess what? It dies!! And another that is worthy of the No shit Sherlock gazette.....People over 60 are far more likely to suffer exhaustion when climbing mountains than those who are younger.

Never!

Just trying something out.

The California fires

Terrible they indeed are and my thoughts go out to these people who have had their homes and posessions destroyed. However......is it just me or is there a marked difference in the response from the Bushbabies administration compared to the response (or lack of) to the New Orleans floods? Am I just imagining that it could be because New Orleans was full of poor black people and California?...well, say no more.

Wide mouthed woman

We went to the Harvester for a meal, not expecting complete silence you understand but at least some "normal" general chat.What hit me the moment we walked in was some female voice loud and whiny and way over everyone elses.I couldnt believe what I was hearing.Everyone was attempting to have conversations but this damn womans voice drowned everything. Imagine if you will, chalk scraping on a blackboard at 60 decibels.If I think of more analogies Ill print them.

Strangely, the people she was with did nothing to shut her up. The people on the next table had suffered it all through their meal.Ours was just beginning.

I had just grasped a serrated steak knife and was rising from my chair with the intention of cutting her throat, yes , I do mean it, when she left, with her entourage.

A stunned silence (almost) descended over the restaurant and I was saved from a life sentence for murder.

I may have got manslughter under the circumstances.
