Achnagairn House

A very frustrating day today. I have a new laptop...................

It is taking me ages to sort out how to load photos from iPad, camera and phone, oh why do they have to change things. I always thought I was reasonably intelligent but not today, today I am a "dummkopf"!

I had such a brilliant early morning walk at Chanonry Point. The light was beautiful, the sky very dramatic, the dogs in an obliging mood so I took loads of great photos. But can I download them onto the laptop , no I can't. It is made even more frustrating by my stupidity in forgetting my camera on the walk and having to use the phone, which is a Blackberry and not recognised by my iPad! So I can't download them onto the iPad either.

I was so angry by lunchtime that I abandoned it all and went somewhere completely different. A friend had tickets for a posh Craft Fair at Achnagairn House. It was so civilised, a beautiful garden to walk round, delicious tomato and vegetable soup for lunch, lovely, lovely Christmassy stalls to browse and tea and shortbread to sustain us for the short journey home. I felt 100% better until I got home and took out the laptop again!
