BLUEMOMENT

Well, my two weeks booked off work to wander round the Clyde in Jumblie were a complete washout as a result of domestic complications and rotten weather. But today dawned blue and sunny down here in Galloway, so at lunchtime The Boy and I escaped to Loch Ken.

We had the Hunter ready to go in ten minutes then a cracking beat down the loch, keel up, ran her onto the shore of an island, went ashore for a picnic, I read while he explored, back on the boat for a zizz, the first two chapters of "Great Northern?", more island exploration and another cracking sail back up the loch to the pontoon, still in brilliant sunshine. We've got a meeting to go to this evening, then it's back to the Hunter to sleep.

OK, it's not a long distance adventure and we saw no porpoises but, frankly, sailing days don't get much better than this.

<sighs contentedly>

I read Great Northern for the first time 3 or 4 years ago. The baddie is not only a despicable egg collector but, ultimate horror, he drives a mobo!

I've just had a excrement day at work so am drinking beer on my own in an Aberdeen pub. I'm fairly certain something stronger is required.

Jodrell?

Well, it's lovely here in Ardfern. Not sure where or when we'll go next.

It's an Anglo-saxon filter, for some reason there are those who think that the French, Greek or Latin words are better than saxon or old English. Personally I think the whole concept is a pile of shit.

Just lost me here - French, Greek, Latin, Anglo Saxon

All of them in that pile?

What would the collective noun be for such a pair.

A Magnificence of Claymores?
