In a rush again, as I'm heading off on another field trip shortly. This time to Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. This is some of the western highland scenery I've been told about. Had a fun weekend - a plan to check out Stonehaven (a fishing village south of Aberdeen) on Saturday was cancelled when we saw the weather forecast. As it turned out however, the weather was perfect, so I finally spent some time wandering around the city and then went to the beach with Sigrun, who's also staying in accommodation at work. Lonely Planet claims that Aberdeen has probably the finest beach of any city in Britain. I see now that that's an important qualification. Nonetheless, it was great to see the North Sea and breathe in some fresh air.
On Saturday night I went to a pub in town with Sara, Sigrun, Charlotte and Hannah. A nice old mans' pub with real ales. We made up for this by ending up in a drum and bass club - yep they still exist. A bit of crazy dancing, and a greasy pizza to break up the long walk home in the early hours left me less than perfectly productive on Sunday, which I spent at work.
A bit of bad news to start the week - the bike Glenn gave me was nicked from the bike sheds at work over the weekend. Bugger. It's the second time that professional thieves have broken in cut locks in the last fortnight. That comes on top of my car's emissions failing the m.o.t. - requiring another visit to the mechanics on Friday. Fingers crossed!

Hey Benjipoof,
Bad luck about your bike and your car.
I guess you get what you pay for then eh?
Beady,
I suggest you add a local time clock to your blog. Have you the technology?
Best get yourself some real accomms before the Royal Visit in July.
Anonymous comments hey... only in so far as it could be either half of Stu and Jess. But the point is well made - not too upset as a result. I only told Glenn, who gave me the bike, today, and he realised that he given me his wife's helmet. Oops.
Davey Huge Dunnycan, I'm on it (the task, not the dunny).
