Big Sis

We had a very enjoyable weekend with Jenny here. In the main Jussi had things to do for the goats so Jen, Ailsa and I went off and explored lots of beaches and archaeology. I think Ailsa is getting the idea that archaeologists are strange people who look at piles of stones and speak gobbledegook - this is a contradiction to what I've taught her previously - which is that archaeologists spend their days sitting in pools of mud, in the pouring rain, singing Beatles songs (Balfarg 1985). But we did find a very nice homestead broch in the valley up behind Armadale House.

Of more interest to Ailsa was swimming in the sea - at every available opportunity. It was freezing - Jenny and I stayed wimpering in the sand dunes at the very thought.

It rained in Saturday so we went to Thurso to see Wall-E. A strange film - Jenny warmed to it's anti-consumerist message, I thought it tried too hard to be worthy and lost the fun it should have had, and Ailsa, in her 8 year old logic, thought it was just the saddest film she'd ever seen.

Piccies were on Jenny's camera and we didn't have a cable that fitted to download them - sorry.

And thanks for the meal on Sunday Jen.
