More technical problems with the blog have not let me update for a couple of days. Sorry. It seems to be back up now, hopefully all is sorted and it won’t happen again.

In the meantime, I wanted to give a plug for some t.shirts and duct tape goods. If you’re *NOT* a Bush supporter you should go check them out…

if you *ARE* a Bush supporter, then it’s probably not your cup of tea….

Other news. Michelle is back in France this week, she is staying on the route of the Tour de France – enjoying every minute of it, so I hear! Working? nah, don’t think so…

I’ve been working on the itinerary for my mum’s 6 week stay. Its going to be a an awesome trip. We will be spending each weekend, making it a 3 day weekend and going somewhere throughout Scotland. We have the fringe festival one weekend in Edinburgh, the small islands Muck, Rum and Eigg another. A trip on the Steam railway (you know the one in Harry Potter?) from Fort William to Mallaig and back – as well as a trip to Stonehaven for the last midnight swim of the season, another in St Andrews – and that’s only been 2 days efforts…. we’ll try and fit in a trip along the southern west coast and perhaps to Stirling or the Falkirk Wheel. Hopefully the weather will pick up, it hasn’t been much of a summer so far. We had lovely weather the first 3 weeks of June but since then it’s been pretty cold and grim.

I’m going to have to spend a bit more time working out this backup stuff. I thought I managed it, but today I tried to upload my backup into another host and it seems I mustn’t have understood what I was supposed to do, because it didn’t work. I’m not all that good with this kind of stuff. It’s all smoke and mirrors really….
