Airfix models

I have my young nephew Sacha visiting and we have been making an air fix model of a battlefield with tanks on it up from a kit, the kit has too much happening so we have decided to make a papermache landscape as well to use some of the soldiers etc. Its good for when the weather is inclement and for patience waiting for glue to dry.

camping

There were 3 boats at the Inchagoill peir when I dropped Sheana and Sacha off and went back to pick up Angie who took a half day off to come camping with us. We decided to moor stern up to the shore at a wee sheltered bay we found the day before instead of shareing the wharf. It worked out well and we had a wee fire going and the tent up in good time. I dislocated my ancle :( while we were out walking, first time in over a year so I shall have to be carefull with it for the next while. The boat has next to no draught when the ballast is out so you could step off her stern into foot deep water.

Gus woke me up in the middle  of the night and I put him ashore he promptly went for a swim then woke everyone up barking, he was tied to a tree and seemed to settle down for about an hour before waking us up again, so everyone is tired today.

The weather has turned poor and the forecast isn't good for the next few days.

Great day out on the boat

Well we were out for about 7 hours today on the yacht, took the dogs on her for the first time and they had a great time swimming and running around on the three islands we landed on. Sheana had a swim today too and Sacha and I are turning into seals. It was warm and sunny for a lot of the day and we didnt even notice it clouding over as it was flat calm and not at all cold. I wish my pal Lynne and her friend had managed to visit this year as she would have loved to come out in the boat too I recon.

I guess someone is sleepy lol he fell asleep on the floor next to Jessy's bed.

I'm making up a list to take out tommorow as we will camp out on Inchagoill Island overnight.

No fish today

Well we went out in the boat for a while today but no fish to be found so we will have Italian meatballs instead. Sacha managed another swim or deep paddle anyway and Sheena and I got our large toes wet.

Swimming in the Atlantic

Sacha and I had a swim in the Atlantic, I shant lie and say the water was luke warm but we had a good splash around with the dogs.

We are now making an airfix model (two tanks in a battle sceen)

80th

Well it was Angies Mums 80th today so she got taken out for lunch, there were bets laid as to what she would order, salmon was odds on and right enough she was true to form. Her flowers were put on display in the lounge room of the care home so that everyone could enjoy them or to tease the other ladies :)

Was a nice day weather wise for the Links golf which was held here at the castle stuart course http://www.castlestuartgolf.com/course.html " The course should elicit anticipation and hopefulness in players" is quoted from their speel who the heck are they kidding its GOLF!!!! mind you on retrospect I used to hope I would hit the ball when I did my air swings with eyes closed. Before breaking my arm I used to be hopeful about 20  rounds a year,  at an average of 720 shots a game thats a lot of hopes.

490 km drive

Well that was a bit of a drive, Oughterard to Luing via Dublin, Larne Cairnryan and Oban with a full car. My wee sis and her two wee ones were at Mums last night too so it was a housefuwas nice to see them and today we have driven another 4 hours up to Inverness to Sheenas.

My neice Cara.

A yacht passing Mums house

The weather was ok yesterday and with the ferry ride it took us 14.5 hours in total. I'm pretty jiggered today lol dont know how those long distance lorry drivers do it.
