Day 4: Hanging out in Dingwall
Sleep schedule adjusted! (with the help of a 1/2 of a Gravol for me)
After watching the great white hunter (T) chase down and kill three horribly disgusting house flies that were freaking her out, last night's sleep was the first normal sleep for both of us.
Got up this AM and booked us a B&B for 3 nights next week when we go to Edenburgh. Was a bit of a chore as every place I called was full up.
So, to get going, we went to see J's mom (T had met her years ago when she came to Canada), we went for lunch at a pub. Mac 'n' cheese for me, Roast Beef with yorkshire pudding for T. Both were happy.
After that we went to the Legion to watch a football game. The local team won, and a good time.
Then it was down the street to another pub where an item of interest was purchased for my nephew. On the way, we saw some guys out in the street practicing their bag-pipes. We've seen a "toy" bagpipe set that may be appropriate for someone's neices. We also went to "Woolies" where T's sister works to pick up some small things (games for me that I've never seen before, and a lint remover for T).
Dinner was fish'n'chips from "Mr. Fish" just around the corner. It was very good. Had Haddock.
Tonight, T, R, and the niece M are going to play bingo. heh heh. uh, I'll stay and watch a movie or something with J.
Driving around, we saw the house that Lady Munro (Queen's cousin) lives in. It's HUGE...picture to follow.
All-in-all, a good day. Even though it rained ALL day long.
