I notice that Greek Odyssey with Bethany Hughes is on tonight, its an area that I don't know a lot about and the series has been most interesting.

I will watch that. I really fancy a holiday on a nice greek island.
The only problem is that I don't fancy and MrsD DEFINITELY won't entertain the idea of not being able to flush the bog paper.

Have they left us or something? Youd think the allure of a man in Y fronts would mean they'd never leave.

Pouring rain most of the day so spent the time on correspondence regarding my family history. Clearish records go back to 1597 and then a haitus when a probable connection in 1513 who died in battle. Not surprising for those times as we were under attack constantly from another border family who coveted the family lands. Nothing very grand appears and mostly recorded as farmers and a few butchers. Very time consuming work mostly done by my younger sister. Interesting stuff tho'.

Oldwheels, if you dont mind me asking whereabouts are you?

A rainy island off the west coast about to be infested by tourists wanting to see whales and sea eagles. We used to call buzzards "tourist eagles" but real goldies are being driven out by the bigger introduced competition for food.

Ah, beannachd bràthair. I used to live on a windy island way off the north coast, still own a cottage there. I've got an eye on North Uist at the moment, but Mrs D is younger than me and until she gives up working it seems unlikely to happen.

The Uists are a bit too far out and low lying for winter comfort. An t eilean Muileach actually is where I have been for nearly 50 years now but getting too much of a theme park and one is supposed to bow down to the almighty tourist.

I hope they have not left, it was such a great place to pop in on, mind you I noticed earlier this week a change in the place.
