I left home last Tuesday and today arrived at Loch Lomond. It's pouring
with rain. Our caravan is pitched a few feet away from the banks of the
loch. I am staying put for six days before moving on to pastures new.
We stopped over in Cheshire, then Kendal, then Moffat.

Did you spot the Cat, Felicity or Steven?

Loch Lomond is nice, even in the rain.

We'll be up there from Friday. Working our way north from tomorrow,
arriving at Fort William - for a week - on Friday.

Could you arrange for the rain to stop by then, please? ;-)

What a coincidence. That's exactly what I'm doing. Maybe we'll bump into
one another. ;-)

Can't make the obvious pun out of that because nearly all Moslems are
perfectly OK. It's worth remembering that before taking notice of the
media and others constantly trying to dehumanise all them.

My estate is about 80% Moslem at the moment. No trouble with any of them
and just after 9/11 the two 'Head Men' came up to me and apologised, and
one of them had tears in his eyes. Very moving that was. They're nice
people - except for the few homicidal maniacs who've had their minds
severely twisted!

So excuse my French, but remember: Fox News Fucks News!

On the other hand, as well as five fingers and a thumb, you can get a
copy of the Kor'an in English at the bookshop in the British Museum.

It's definitely no more bloodthirsty than the Bible.

Narr. Jump on a banned wagon instead. Yer never know - the doors might

Hi O! Long time no see (since York last year).

My original comment was May 2015; the last one was March 2017.
