Streaker Fail

Here's a funny video which proves that you should always look where you are going, especially when stark naked.

WARDROBE

That's it finally finished, at long last. Five doors, 20 hinges, 80 hinge-screws, 5 handles with 10 holes to drill and hours and hours of painting.

Two Sold!

Tuesday - another dull wet day.  Fed up painting wardrobe doors so we drove out past the airport to the Macmillan Art Fair.  This is one of the biggest Art shows which raises a lot of money for a cancer charity.  It opened a week ago.  Even on a rainy afternoon, there were people in buying stuff.  

Marion had entered three paintings and did not expect to sell any.  The first one we found hadn't been sold.  Then we found the second one and it had a red dot on it.  Sold!  We looked everywhere for the third one and couldn't find it.  Eventually, we asked the organisers where it was and they said it had been sold and taken away already.

Brown Toothpaste - YUK!!

South Koreans are crazy ...   toothpaste in poop-shaped tubes for kids

Glencoe

 

Thursday started out sunny and dry so we decided to drive up to Bridge of Orchy  - which is well beyond the top of Loch Lomond - to take some photographs.   By the time we got there it was getting cloudy but there was still some sunshine so we carried on up towards the Glencoe ski lift.  This photo is on the Rannoch Moor which is unique watery wilderness you have to cross to get to Glencoe and Glen Etive.

Not Very PC Joke

I saw my mate Charlie this morning; he's only got one arm, bless him. 

I shouted: “Where are you off to Charlie?”

He said “I'm off to change a light bulb.”

Well I just cracked up ... couldn't stop laughing. … then said:

“That's gonna be a bit awkward, init?”

“Not really,” he said,  “I still have the receipt, you insensitive *****.”

Deer Miss

After Rachel and Alfie left to catch the train back to Manchester, we took Robin for a drive down to Balmaha.  It was pretty cold by four o'clock and there was a fierce wind from the north.  However, the sun found a gap in the clouds and all the fresh new snow on the hills was brilliantly white.  This is Ben Lomond.

We went for a snack in the pub and it was dark by the time we began the drive home.  As we getting near the Drymen village, a deer walked across the road right in front of me.  I couldn't believe it!  It is only three weeks since I got the damage to the bumper etc all repaired.  I had to brake quite hard to avoid hitting it.
