The Benefits of Alcohol....

....it would seem that if you only drink whisky and eat nothing on your holidays, you can lose pounds and pounds of weight. Fortunately for my liver, I've been relatively frugal with drinking and unfortunately for my weight loss, these scales are jiggered and are not to be trusted. I've saved you from the bean toes, but subjected you to my part painted socks.

A meal with Mairi and Ewen in their mobile home this evening. They sold their own place and are building in the best location in the village, overlooking Loch Drumbeg. Whilst the build is underway, they've been braving Scottish winter weather; it'll be worth it in the end. Poor Mairi had to have her mare dispatched by the vet on Tuesday, she's putting on a brave face. (No jokes about long faces please!)
