soop please put some more photos up as we obviously will not be bored! What a gorgeous photo of Eilean Donan, it takes me straight back to some very happy holidays. Am assuming that is a lovely photo of youself - and taken by McS? 
Hope you feel stronger after a restorative rest panache. Was supposed to be out early today but ‘life’ got in the way. Better late than never as they say .
It's weird isn't it ann that these things come in clumps. I hope your DH gets tired enough for a little sleep and then you must too.
Corner, didn't John Lennon (or some other know it all!!) say that life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. I hope life isn't too difficult.
Panache, lovely to see you. Please pop in when you can and let us know how your are.
Thinking of morethan and do wish there was more we could do than just thinking!
We went to stay in a log cabin soop, quite close to Invergarry. The log cabin should have been idyllic on the edge of the loch with only 5 other cabins and some sheep around. The man who owned the cabins was about 5' tall and hd one tooth (well DH and I notice these things!) There was furnishings in the place were mean and shabby, none of the crockery matched and, as a parting piece of advice, the owner said 'Oh, and don't drink the water, it's straight off the hill and I can't guarantee there's not a dead sheep in it!' 
We waited until he had gone and then ran away. 
We found a lovely hotel not far away and had the most fabulous holiday.
I think I mentioned a while ago that a friend who has dementia lost her husband a little while ago. I discovered yesterday that the family have decided that the son (aged about 33) will give up his job as a sports teacher and move in with her to care for her. I am beyond shocked. That is so far from what my friend would have wanted for him. Her brother in law (who cares for her sister who also has dementia) has remonstrated with them all to no avail so I don't feel there is any place for her friends to say anything. What a waste! 
And more sadness - someone DH was at school with, who farmed in the next village, has children similar ages to ours at the same schools, died at the weekend.
It does seem to be as ann says. Sadness of some sort everywhere!
I'm sorry you are struggling gd. Fortunately the black dog doesn't visit here but bad backs are frequent visitors.
I was fed up until this arrived. Persie looking demure.........she isn't!!
Hello my lovelies one and all. You are very special peoples. Have I told you so of late? Yes! Well, there you go, as they say. 
What a very pretty and lady-like pose of Persie She has poise.
Sorry to hear about the visit of the "black dog". It is a buggeration too far. A group (((hug))) is called for.
Home after the care home visit. The ladies picked up the conversation where we last cast off. Same small talk but it helps to cheer. That's the important thing.
I have hosework to throw my efforts into. No idea why I should. It's a woman thing. Or so I tell myself.
Here is the anniversary photo. MacSporran faffed about with the camera setting so that he could run across the room to join me, after which, the timer should have triggered the shutter. It took all of twenty minutes to get it right. There are several images of me shouting - "Come on. Do hurry!" Alas, MacS joined me for just one photo. It's not too bad. All things considered.
Lovely anniversary picture soop. Here's to many more 
callgirl Disgusting people who think nothing of dumping litter and mattresses and sofas should be shot at dawn. During our trip around the Highlands, we were impressed with the lack of litter.
Said hello to David this morning. The site has one camper van in situ. A fortnight ago, it was packed.
Dear Greyduster My heart goes out to you. Back spasms are wicked. Feet up. Delegate. Us lot say so.
Ironing duty in the morning.
One last image from last night's photo call. We laughed when we saw the twinkle on MacS's upper tooth.
Bye for now. 
It’s a funny old life at the minute but just a physical nonsense slowing me down this morning. Very swollen and painful foot, the big toe doesn’t bend, it was the search for a shoe that would fit that took some time. It’s improving, see what tomorrow brings.
Hope you are also improving greyd, the black dog is enough to deal with, you surely don’t need to have back pain as well.
Oh dear, kitty, there’s a lot of sorrow close to you. Isn’t life a weight sometimes? Persie has to be as angelic as she looks. I refuse to believe otherwise .
Can you get the council to remove that sofa callgirl? You have evidence it was fly tipped. People eh?
The photo was worth the difficulties, soop: you both look positively regal as well as happy
Lovely photos soop. So glad you had a good trip.
It’s our anniversary today - 8 whole years, and we both forgot . Well I had bought a card, but hadn’t written in it! We also forgot that we had booked cinema tickets for this afternoon for King of Thieves. Oh well, we couldn’t have gone anyway as we had to wait in for a courier to collect something DH sold online (still waiting actually). for all the sad and poorly people out there. Thinking (like everyone else) about morethan and her sad, sad situation.
Sorry about your foot corner - it's only when things happen to them that we notice how important they really are!
Fly tipping really makes me 
, callgirl please hand over the cctv.
Lovely photos soop!
I've just talked to Persie who tells me she has found her first conker and she intends to offer it to a squirrel!
