No more ghostly happenings in the house so far. The girls did come down yesterday saying "The picture's on the floor again!" but no-one heard anything, no-one seemed bothered and no-one rose to the bait so I suspect on that occasion they were playing around.
Incidentally, has anyone noticed the recent trend, especially during the Olympics, to use nouns as verbs? Various commentators have referred to so-and-so athlete as "I'm sure he'll medal" or "She should podium in this event". With this in mind, reference has been made to the time I spend writing this blog as "geeking". Has Dawn invented a new word here? In future, will we see PC World adopt "The Geeking store" as a marketing phrase? Unlikely I feel. And when she needed to check something on the internet yesterday, she was relieved I'd brought my geeking iPad with me!
Anyway, onto the main story for the blogpost on what was a slow news day. The opportunity to do anything major was scuppered by the girls inability to get up before lunchtime which severely limits the choice. Dawn and her Dad, David, decided to take the girls to the Dolphin centre at Inverness, where apparently it is an absolute hotbed for land based dolphin spotting. Not yesterday it wasn't. Even with the free binoculars provided, there wasn't a sight of anything remotely dolphin shaped. Slightly disappointed, they went to the cafe there for some light refreshments and discovered that a portion of chips and a sandwich was £9.75. Unsurprisingly perhaps, they didn't hang around too long but they did take in some beautiful scenery though - check out the pictures below.
I stayed back at the house with Moira and Mark, chilling, reading and taking part in one of the activities I find most therapeutic - cooking - and prepared a Mexican feast for everyone's evening meal.
Tomorrow we will actually be searching for Nessie in a glass bottomed boat with sonar radar. The captain of the ship is George Edwards, the same chap who claimed to have already found the beast (see earlier blogpost - Normal service has been resumed) and he has spent 26 years looking for him so no doubt will have a tale to tell.
And of course it does not help George Edwards business, that at least once a year he has a sighting of nessie.
