PHEW.

On Thursday and Friday I’ll be switching it around and giving you MY take on the acts appearing on the main stage, of course your comments are always welcomed, and hopefully by Saturday I’ll have managed to have invented a time travelling machine which will allow me to get to see all these great acts!

As a side note, special thanks to Mike (I’m not linking to him AGAIN). Your extensive comments are very much appreciated, and I’m formulating a proper way to thank you…

bookmark_borderSunday sunday

Got home at 11ish, wedding still on, and I even contemplated nipping into Glasgow to catch up with the stag night. However, they started at about 4pm and whilst I play a mean game of catch-up, I think even that would be beyond me.

Nothing much planned today, should really cut the front grass, but it can wait another week. Parents are popping over in the afternoon, with Gran in tow, and that’s it for the day.

Papers, coffee and some background music (currently Norah Jones… nope just changed to Mull Historical Society), bliss.
