I was first to arrive and was checked in by a staggering attractive young man.
I honestly found it difficult to maintain sensible conversation with him. He was tall and rangy, with large liquid eyes, and an open and guileless expression. In some ways he reminded me of David Tennant playing a B&B employee. Sadly no photo of the vision called Sandy, as he wasn't working on Monday morning when I brought my camera to breakfast.
Anyway, there was another lovely male I had more contact with, and behaved better around, and that was the cat, Flash. 18 and a half years old, solidly built with massive paws, very sanguine and very friendly. The epitome of Nae Bother.
Here is a pic of the room with Flash on my bed. As you can see, neither of the other ladies are in residence at this point. Don't worry, they appear in the next thread or the one after that. I'll bet you were wondering when I was going to get round to it, right?
I then headed off to the nearest recommended pub to have a drink and think about lunch. Sandy McHandsome suggested
The Park Bar on the corner as it was a real Scottish pub, and full of Highland-and-Islanders speaking Gaellic. In the end I couldn't justify eating out, so I had a quiet beer and then bought a Pot Noodle (!) Still, it was a nice place and I got you a picture of the menu for the reason that will become apparent when you look at it.
