This has been a busy week. Full hotel, a lot of work. And our boss is back from a family visit. Hm. I've not managed to come to like her, the same way as almost everyone among my colleagues. She's too much used to being a boss... Well, I hope I'll be able to stand her style until I'm here...

No day off this week, just a few hours rest a day. This means I did not visit any new places. But I did enjoy the wonderful sunshine under the Scottish sky. I walked around the village, had been sitting on benches just meditating or reading.

I realized I've got used to the seagulls' cries so much by now that I don't really notice them anymore. I went once to Dingwall to do my "Tesco shopping", and I've borrowed a new book from the library. It's by Isabel Allende and is called City of Beasts. Actually it is a teenager's book, but very nice, full of magic. Then I opened a bank account. I feel a very responsible person now (I haven't had a bank account since last August...)

Yesterday I visited the Scottish Archeology Fair here in the village. It's a quite detailed exhibition about archeological discoveries and facts. They even had a Viking combat display in costumes, of course.

The clouds are back, the gloom has returned. I feel it in my head, it's sore.

But I'm looking forward to the coming Saturday evenings: a Scottish bagpipe band will be playing on the square each week in the season!
