It has all been totally pointless. Just a drill. I’ve been in the military. Dress Right. By the left, quick march. Totally total Pointless Exercise. Fact! BTW : A pace stick – which all Drill Sergeants carry – measures the pace of a man. I chose the only Corps where the women trained with the […]

Y’man who plays him here – name escapes all I can remember is Begbie – is a 5ft6 Glaswegian….SMALLER THAN ME. MC Beaton sold her Hamish stories to the TV company for squillions and regretted […]

I will start with a really old and bad joke punchline about a football match in Spain. Don’t put all your Basques in one Exit. Tumbleweed Vibe….whooooosh.

I’m having a love/hate relationship with White Cottage Company at the moment. Love her style. Hate the fact that she can do this ALL. With a man-who-can-and-will. Special Envy/Hate for her Sidhe Shed. I’m still pouting. Lots. I WANT ONE. :o( Stanes then Shed. P.S. I’ve been told that we have a Scorchio week ahead. […]

Read the book…best. Watch the programme…love it :o) For the lazy WikiTribe : Multi-millionaire Simeon Lee, frail in his old age, unexpectedly invites his family to gather at his home for Christmas.
