Code Test Post

I have just added code to my new WordPress site – www.clivecatton.co.uk – to link it to my Facebook page. As the site/blog is on my server I have to code the link manually – where as my previous blog was linked automatically by WordPress.com.

“The Agreement Dissection”

Question

Is “The Big Bang Theory”

a) An explanation about how the universe started
Or
b) Probably the funniest programme on TV

If you have not seen “The Big Bang Theory”, then you should try it. If you know about it, already, then I have just watched the funniest episode so far – “The Agreement Dissection”.

Now to really appreciate it, you do need about ninety episodes of back story but it is worth catching up!

The Journey Home

We are coming home via Loch Ness, Fort William, Glencoe and then Glasgow and the motorways.

Glencoe – Lunch

We found somewhere to park along the route for a lunch stop.

A brew up and a chance to fill the flask for later. We really needed the extra wind shield in addition to the “built in” wind shield on the Crusader Burner – even so the wind was strong enough to push the flames onto the hardboard base and set it alight! The Crusader Mug lid I had made for me was also essential to get the pot to boil – thanks Mark – get yours here, from The Little Frog Group.

Small change of plans in the end, there were severe hold ups on the motorways around Glasgow, so we headed across to Perth on the A85 and then on down the A1 eventually.

And a photo in England.

Highflight Secondhand Bookshop

It was Bill, the owner of the Highflight bookshop who recommended us to visit the Highland Aviation Museum – so we went back and had a look at his books.

He specialises in books about aviation and nearly half the store is taken up by these – however he also has a good selection of general books, and second hand novels ideal for the holiday maker who wants something to read whilst away.

JSC bought a Harry Potter Book (why?!) but I bought this:

When I was at junior school my Dad used to read these, therefore so did I and if you are a certain age I am sure you did too!
