BIRTHDAY



Hi. Had a great day . Loads of pressies and well wishes.Had a good lazy dayish. We may have a buyer and i say may,for Monty my disco. So out came the wax. I washed him yesterday with my shampoo because i had no car shampoo , and i wasn't using fairy liquid cos os the nasty saly in it. Mind you abit of extra salt probably wouldn't make much difference as he has a few blotches already but its the principle. So i have almost finished . Mark came round and said " do you want chippy chips for tea " Well the cloth was down in seconds so of we went and then back at LAL he presented me with Logan DVD. My friend had watched this in the cinema and ended up inconsolable so i had my doubts if i would like it but it was good . Don't want to spoil the plot ,but its really really sad. So get the tissues ready.So i shall finish waxing using boat wax tomorrow . Totally knackered.

This is one of our cats and me looking spooky. Patch had a bad eye injury when she was a kitten and after months of trying to save the eye , it was decided to take it out. It had gone anyway but was so swollen still looked like it was there. She ended up being a bit runty, just because of the stress. But she is a sweet wee thing and has done well on the lead. Her brother Tom looks like a racoon when he is walking with the tail and head down , skulking rather than walking. they do want to walk and as soon as it starts getting dark we are miaowed at untill 10pm when they get there walk.
this can be very annoying and i am finding myself trying to have a reasoning conversation with him. he dutilly looks at me while i am telling him that its not ten oclock and its quieter then and he will enjoy it better. Waits till i am finished talking and then continues his incessant wailing and pacing.
Patch just sits looks at her brother with a bemused look, probably wondering if she should do it too, and waits till her lead is brought down..
well night night speak to you all tomorrow and thanks for the support.

#seasthefuture Scotlands International Marine conference

Hi folks I feel honoured to have attended Scotlands very first marine international conference. Since my little adventure , i have gained much more confidence . But still, attending a conference full of passionate dedicated highly qualified scientists , terrified me. As the event progressed , i realy appreciated having my wonderful daughter to lead me by the hand , help me formulate my questions and with some people , stop me losing my temper. Bethany is doing a phd in evolution involving genes . There is much more involved but climate change was relevant for her so she attended too Our fantastic host for this event was Collin Moffat, Scottish government minister for marine. #seasthefuture . He was very amusing and kept our attention with wit and treating us like a group of friends. People from all over the world were in attendence . Organisations from all aspects of marine study were available to answer questions . PhD students presented information on their studies , which w

 Some old photos, we don't get snow in the South Rhinns very often , but when we do its a show stopper  This is a few years ago . Cows had to be fed and checked even though it took Mark 3 days sitting in the landy to get through finally. Power was off across the whole area and the snow was sticky and shut all the mobile antennas down. Landlines to were down. Some villages were shut off for at least 5 days and the RNLI had to rescue people from outlying bays and get them to Portpatrick. We were lucky. We had a rayburn and plenty of wood. My parents rayburn got blocked with snow and the fire decided to visit the kitchen. They did get it out with help from there friend John their neighbour. i thought they would be ok and hadnt got to them for a couple of days. What a sight they were all covered in soot, hair standing on end. A massive hunt went on for sheep trapped in snowbanks and most were found alive and had lambed .It being the end of march when we got all this. H

wow what a day all excitement and rain and people about. LAL is not in yet but they were moving another boat into the water and thought while the crane was going they would get us ready. We didn,t get much warning.Spent the morning getting all the stuff that could fly down on the floor. We were then told  at about midday it would be another boat shifted and then us. so we put the kettle on and settled down to lunch. Mark went to do something i was sitting going through facebook. Then a strap appears at the window and a set of lower legs i didn't recognise.I heard Mark saying can i get the cats out first. That was it out the hatch i went , yip we were going to be on the move quicker than we thought. . Tom and Patch had been worked up all morning and were not happy about leaving the boat. There had been a lot of clanging and banging when they moved Constance earlier so they were worried.. Patch the little one all sweet and lovely turned in to a leaping somersaulti
