Mull, scotland

after a 6-or-so hour drive, with a stop at a posh oyster bar for a delicious fish lunch, we arrived in oban, where we had a coffee and wondered around:


Then we caught the ferry to Craignure on Mull. the ferry took about 50 mins and the drive to our cottage on calagary bay took about 1 1/2 hrs.
The coattage (Bulldog cottage) was right next to the beach, this is the view from the kitchen window:

on Saturday, we went to Tobermory/Balamory" and it was raining...
but we stopped in a cafe (Tobermory Chocolate) and i had a lovely hot chocolate.


Calgary bay again:


One day, we went for a walk (a very very long one! almost 10km) and we saw lots of waterfalls, and an abandoned village:


Another day, we went to an island called Ulva which is quite a large island off mull, with 20ish inhabitants. we saw at least 6 wild deer and pink footed geese.
we also had an amazing lunch of the best potted crab ever, lentil soup and yum home made bread. with hot chocolate and cake.
the ferry that took us over, as you can tell, was the peak of modern technology:

It was beautiful, if a little wet.

The next day, we went on a boat trip to Staffa and the Treshnish islands.
we saw puffins! (shit picture i know)


And Staffa was an amazing place, aparantly the "giants causeway" type rocks are much more impressive than the irish ones

and Staffa itself was a hit with the victorians because of the amazing rock formations.
around the Treshnish Islands, we saw seals!

and the sea looked almost tropical, because of the colour



on the holiday we also saw
natural arches

highland cows

lovely little harbours

a hermit crab

and (haha) sparrows.



and i found at least 25 of these:

which is a european cowrie shell and a piece of coral.

On the drive back, we stopped at a litlle cafe in a samll village, but they didn't take card, and the cash machine had run out of cash...
so we went to a scotish themed place, the decor was awful and the toilets had no water to flush or wash hands! i had vegetable "soup" which was basically veg-flavoured water with mushy carrots floating in it . YUK! haha.
then i was on the radio and then we arrived home.

lovely video, lovely song

oh manchester, so much to answer for #2

yes. i have changed it.
because i want to say sorry
as you have already read this, you probably won't read it again.
but i was in a stress when i wrote that blog. and it [the stress] WAS NOT because of the manchester thing.
it was because of something else i would rather not say.
so i was annoyed and disappointed. i had been looking forward to it for ages.
hope you had a nice time anyway.

trying not to move on too swiftly,
i was on steve lamaq's show on 6 music yesterday.
not that anyone i know was probably listening.
or anyone listening gave a fuck about my music tastes.
if anybody wants, then they can listen to it here;
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/steve_lamacq/
and click on friday on the right hand side.
it's 45 minutes in, after the hip hop tune, if you really want to.
it's only up there for a week.
[this has run out now]

oh, and that smiths lyric should really be
oh lancaster, so much to answer for
in my opinion. tis crap.
[lancaster, not the smiths lyric!]

Nick Zinner is "HAWT"

it's true.
he is also vegan.

as is Jonsi from Sigur Ros.


And Gareth from Los Campesinos!

....
my great knowlege of "pop stars" eating habits only streches so far.

my tea party
the table at about a quarter to one on sunday morning loked like this:

afterwards, at about 5ish it looked like this: [thx 4 da piture eden]


it was fun.
i think it was a success, judging from the happy people full of cake leaving my house afterwards.
thanks to all that came, it will probably return

here is a picture of Morrissey:

he z his typewriter.
