Coll beats Mull at cricket


The title says it all and I'm sure there will be a real blogg about the match. It's a long way to the castles for me with cat-cam so I was a bit late getting there and had to dash off a bit early. Hence this blogg is only to show a few snaps and guide you to more.




Another 6 from Innes



Pete M on the defensive.

PS. Sorry for lack of blogs, I'm having to move house - to Arinagour. I've never lived in a village before and it's all very scary.

The Beautiful Midge ?


It's that time of year again and today is particular bad. Midges are even getting through my fur and my chicken friends (note I exclude the cockerel as he's a nasty bit of work) are running around, almost headless, trying to escape.
So I thought cat-cam could do something positive, like show you the real beauty of The Midge, although I apologise for the poor picture quality. I couldn't stay out any longer and get a sharper one as my paws were being eaten alive.



This wee biting thing was on a cob web - roll on spider!
I read on the bloggs a lot about windmills, tourism and greenhouse gasses.
Surely the wee midge is one of the main reasons tourists fear the Highlands and Islands and not windmills? Then I read about midge eating machines that give off CO2. A nightmare for global warming, I'd say. But I am only a cat and would never wish to stir up a debate of midge eaters vs windfarms.

purrs to all, Ming
