ben seems to think he needs to now be known as connor mcbumcloud of the clan mcbumcloud...
so yes....
my spondylitis is slowly disappearing. one section of my shoulder is still in its clutches, but i have regained nearly 60% mobility now which is workable with and meant i got more than two hours sleep last night.
might also have been the long trip.... :)
we went to loch ness..... and its huge! again i really wish that i could drive as at the other side is a steam railway with a certain bridge used in a certain set of films to get to a certain school, and that would have been UTTERLY cool to go on.... i like trains and bridges... and i also like these films so win win....
alas not possible this time, so instead we got the bus to drumnadrochit, wandered round the village a wee while, and then went to the loch ness 2000 exhibition, which didnt slate the myth of the monster but equally didnt support it, fascinating from a scientific view point, and some giid history and mythological knowledge as well.
after this we went a walking, about 5 miles through three villages down the road to castle urquhart. National trust Scotland do a much better job with the still extortionate amounts they charge than the english do, to point that i wasnt too harshed at paying what we did to go around, although i did pick up a REALLY interesting book on celtic art, focussing in particular on the creation of the knotwork and lettering, which will be useful to me in my glass painting and card making which im going to make a go of....
i haven't posted much over the last couple of weeks, as ive been alternatavely really busy with work, when ive not been working ive been suffering a nasty chest infection and when neither of those have been running their course ive been quite low because it means i can't do what i want to.
not very happy in general at the moment, but it left a bit of time for thinking, and essentially im going to be holding down two jobs fairly soon, as we need the money... simple as.
if my plans for musical stuff go well, then its two and a half jobs.
but still... nothing ive not done before... hoping to explain more later.
but nevertheless im looking forwards to getting home.. if for no other reason than to try and get christmas up and running for everyone and so i can get on with stuff when i have time.
