End of Day 107 - a bit tired today and couldn't make it to the gym. Also raining non stop for the last 30+ hours here. Feel drowsy though it's only 8.50 pm.

Have a great sober day, all. Good night from Seattle.

I did manage to get some photos of the Glenfinnian viaduct that is seen in the Harry Potter films. It is very impressive considering its remoteness and the fact that it runs between two small Scottish towns. There are better photos of it online of course.

I decided to take today and tomorrow off as holiday, can’t get my head round work stuff and tomorrow seems to be taking forever to get here. It’s another lovely day here so going to sit out in the sunshine for a bit. Hope everyone has a wonderful sober day xx

Lovely photo Saou. I think that viaduct may have been used in other films or tv shows? It looks familiar.

I looked just now at some specialty Film-based Websites. But, good ole Wiki provides the best overview...

Glenfinnan Viaduct - Wikipedia

That's a much better photo. The whole area round it is incredibly scenic, Eilean Donan Castle is a few miles away and the Jacobite monument less than half a mile away.

Happy Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day Weekenders.

I'm reading a book called 'The History of Glue.' I can't put it down.

I am reading 'Alcohol Explained' by William Porter. Really deep insights into how this thing works with no repetitive info

I wish I actually liked pancakes. I do like crepes a lot. Close enough? Maybe I should make some for dinner.

I do not care for pancakes. We ate them a lot growing up and I just got tired of them.

I had to google Shrove Tuesday. Now I remember it. Bro's church used to do a pancake supper, but not since the pandemic started.

Love the picture of the viaduct.

Shrove Tuesday is followed by Ash Wednesday and Spam Thursday.

Marty I think crepes are similar to pancakes.

I’ll be sure to have a clear out of Spam on Thursday.

Lovely pictures of Scotland, so lush, green and beautiful. Makes me realise how little of this country or indeed the world I have seen. I just know I would fall in love with Scotland.

Ha Spam, my Dad is never without more than a few cans of that in the cupboard. I grew up on the stuff.

Not a fan of pancakes and never had a crepe.

Manta, I don't know the right words to say about your appointment today but just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you .
