Day 5

So, today was a very new age day for me I could say!You know how New Age is always talking about the spirits of nature and how you should connect your spirit with nature's and all that stuff! Well today I was inclined to experiment! I let my spirit connect with nature's! I let my nature become part of nature itself! To cut a long story short - I GOT COVERED IN MUD!!!! :):):):) So lemme just give you the details and that's it for today. We drove off to some place called Fort Rose which is quite a drive from home but was worth it. We were going Quad Biking! Unfortunately we don't have any pics to show of when we were actually on the bikes as the mud was out of this world and the cameras would have simply died! But when we got there we couldn't go as we couldn't get through before and had not booked anything! So we waited till 7 but in the meantime we went to have somethin to eat and I tried my first black pudding ever. Steven tried a bit of mine too. It wasn't as disgusting as it sounded. Actually it was quite good. Anyway then we went to look for dolphins - but I think, since it was cold - they stayed home to have a cuppa' tea! Anyway in the end it was time to go and we went! It was totally amazing! We loved it - the bikes were filthy and the track was almost all mud baths! Wow! Glorious glorious mud! :)

Day 4

Today we started the day by sipping breakfast as I woke up late and had to go straight to mass. Then eventually got back home and ate and planned the next few days which seem to be very exiting! Had a lot of planning to do as well though cos Anton is going back to Malta on Thursday and its been real fun meeting him here! Anyway, the highlight of today was phoning mum and dad, and sossy! :) On the way back though we stopped on the highest part of the road between the house and the chapel in Fort Augustus and took a fun picture there. After mass we went off to shop a little bit for souveniers u tghidx kemm infaqna! :) Twas fun! But I almost went crazy at one point in time cos I saw a whole wall full of different miniature bottles which I don't have, but MarieClaire said that I could find them cheaper so I dinnae buy anthin! I'm gonna need a new shelf though for all these! :) Today was a very relaxed day though in which I had time to fix the mess there was of chopped wood in the back garden and stacked it all nicely so I have place to work a bit! :) John by the way, thanks for yer coment! Hope to hear from you soon, or maybe I get the chnce to phone you! Love to all! :)

Day 3

So on day 3 we went to this place called LandMark which is built i think into a forest! The placve is really nice and it has a few really cool attractions. The first we went on was the Sky Dive which involved a certain amount of nerve to do but not that bad! You climb up a pole and jump off. You're attached to a cable which then slows you down just before you hit the ground! Then we went on that climbing thing like rock climbing where u get this column and u climb with those small handle things! Then we went on on the slides in which you slide down in a dinghy! Then there was the maze which i got fed up of so I cheated and jumped over the fences to get to the tower! But most difficult of all was the Rope Works. Its all in air and u get to do this route which entails walking on a log, hopping from a plank to another - some fixed to two ropes and other hanging on their own rope so u can imagine how wobbly and a whole lot of other things! Apparently the guy who set the record took 1minute 8 seconds to finish! It took us around 15!!! So this person must have gone on it a million times!!!! Must have been an amployee over there and does free practice! It was a nice day though, nothwithstanding the weather as the rain cant decide whether to pour or not cos it starts and stops and starts then the sun comes out then rains again! Oh well I think its better like that cos we still do things in the rain - got used to it so much we hardly notice it! Needless to say we were dead tired by the time we got back home and so I dinnae really 'ave the energy fer the blog! :) Some scoqqish accint! :)

Day 2

Today had a very lazy start! We, well I woke up at 10.30 and went for breakfast and Steve followed soon after. Then we went for a walk, a very long walk actually, with Oscar accompanying us obviously. On the way we met a flock of sheep and surprisingly one of them actually came running towards us. Later we found out that it used to be a pet of somebody so thats why she came! Then we spent the afternoon lazing about and shooting with Chris Finn's air rifle! We also went for a short trip to the Falls of Foyers - its a little waterfall which is meant to be dry at this time of year; then Steven, Marie Claire, Anton and Chris went out but I didn't feel like so Sarah and I went out hunting for rabbits but we were unlucky! Hopefully we see more rabbits next time. Then went back home and i spent till a few minutes before now playing on X-Box cos then Chris Johnson came over and we were shootin at each other in a really cool game. Tomorrow we goin to theis place were there's a lot of stuff such as bungee jumping and free fall jumps and obstacle races and stuff like that. So we'll see wot tomorrow offers. Off to bed guys. Big hug to all.

Day 1

Hello Everyone. Sorry I'm updating late but yesterday I could not connect to the internet. The flight for starters was very good, it lasted 3hrs 36 minutes. Then we ran out of the airport so that we found a bus to take us to Buchanon Bus Station. On the bus I was sitting next to a lady who's name was Sue as I asked if we had got the right bus and when I mentioned that we were going to Inverness she said that she was going there too so then it was easy after that. Cos when eventually we got there there were coaches going all over Scotland. Anyway, with her there, we didn't need to ask any questions, so! Arrived in Inverness 3 hrs and 26 minutes after that. I timed everything you see! :) Marie Claire and Anton were waiting there for us and so we went straight up to Stratherrick. Steven loved it! The scenery is out of this world! I introduced him to everyone but most especially Oscar - the dog!!! He's so much fun! And well trained too! Anyway, we spent a relaxing afternoon chopping some wood and then just got comfy in the evening before we went to bed. However, it was never a dull moment. But I gotta stop now. Missing you all! P.S. It gets dark at 10.30pm!!! The photo is at a stop with Loch Ness in the background! I'll try update today's day later or else tomorrow! Big hug to all!

Hello guys and dolls. Thanks to my beautiful girlfriend I now have a blog cos through her encouragement and constant naggin... er, sorry hon, :P I finally got a blog so I can fill ye up with news from a far far away land, and then even further! The adventure soon begins! You can see the clouds looming up in the distance, with the smell of steel in the air as the soldiers grab their swords and maces.... Jon wot exactly are you on about??? Oh sorry!!! Hehe, me thinkin aloud!!! :) So back to the blog. Many might be wondering what "4/52" means? I'll answer you with a rhetorical question "How many weeks are there in a year?" Does that do the trick? :) Its part of the long list of abbreviations we use in medical writing! So for some its gonna be a common thing to see soon! the photo was taken in 2003. When I saw it again today I said my God it looks like its edited but it really isn't. Robert took that photo of me and there I am in Scotland - and behind me is the might Loch Ness (sounds like "lohh" not "lock"!!) And probably right now I need to do the same thing I did a few days before I took that pic - trim my hair! "Nessie I'm comin, don't show yourself yet! Today week! :)"
