"This is a local shop for local people".

I'm in Campbeltown after 4.5 hours on the bus, with kids vomiting into plastic bags behind me and returnees sweating pure Jaegermeister through their pores after a heavy sesh on Glasgow.

Settled into my new digs, without husband and dog to keep me company, instead I have the internet and the TV.

Took a walk around to the shops earlier. They were shut - at 6pm on a Monday. Turns out its a local holiday - for local people.

Oh noes! Don't go out after dark...seriously. Steve could get his mate John to come visit you if you are lonely, better known as Claymore. he lives up that way.
Are you coming back for weekends at all?

Sort of like blind date for mates?

I don't know if I'll make it back for weekends, it depends on the shifts (you know when you type you sort of read it in a wee voice in your head? My wee voice now has an accent) I definitely wont be back this weekend as working Saturday.

How is Paul coping in your absence? Has the dog's bladder exploded yet? Perhaps you can get him to blog as to his exploits in your absence? On the plus side, he'll appreciate all you do for him when you get back...but whatever you do, don't let him build up a weeks washing for you to do on your return! What is your accommodation like? This is not so much a comment, but a list of questions.....

**AAHAHAHAAA! "played PC. Slept. Ate. Played PC. Slept"

**No washing. He tidied up when I returned as a suprise**

What is your accommodation like?
**Small. One bad. Shower room. Expensive**
