Only because you buy all the drinks each time you meet.

I'm perfectly happy to buy O drinks. I just wish she would swallow them
instead of pouring them down her front.

That was an accident ... and well you know it!!! The flippin' slats on
the table the base of my glass got caught in the slat!

way up here and will be seeing you if he can.

him.

The first time we went there almost 30 years ago it didn't rain, in
fact it didn't rain at all in the whole week that we were up there.
The second time we arrived at the end of a heat wave. It started
raining during the night. We delayed starting a boat trip to Inverness
for three days hoping the gale and rain would stop and then we gave up
and did the trip as fast as we could and went home.

Truebrit.

It seems that the benefits of global warming,
should it start again, will outweigh the disadvantages,
at least for the next fifty years. Not that I believe anyone can know
what the
climate's going to do in the next fifty years. They can't even get it
right for a ten year period, it now seems.

The climate obviously suits the vegetation in that area. Change the
temperature and the vegetation would be different too. A prime example
would be heather.

We went to Oban and had to go home after three days as we had no dry
clothes.
The nearby island of Kerrera was invisible apart for about forty five
minutes.

Looking through the guest book in the B&B we noticed that one couple had
been going there several times a year for years. We asked if they came
back hoping for a sunny day.
