I realised today that I've yet to tell you guys more about my wee trip to the Isle of Mull a couple of weeks ago....well, it was amazing...proper countryside, proper scotland. We stayed with my mate Matt and his family and some of his sibling's friends...Matt's house itself is lovely. The floor in the kitchen and much of the house is heated so it was really nice to walk about barefoot in the morning. We ate big,hearty meals...the eggs we scrambled in the morning were laid by the family hens and the Techno Barn (my name for Matt's little barn opposite his house) had sheepskin rugs made from the wool of the family sheep. In Matt's Techno Barn, we played *here it comes...* techno at incredibly high volumes, drank lots of tea and beer (not at the same time) and turned it into a little amsterdam of sorts*grin*.....the island itself is massive...full of sheep, mountains, highland cows, shetland ponies....basically,lotsa big,empty spaces..the sort of place you could easily get lost in without much hope of being found.....especially since,I didn't get any mobile phone reception at all when I was on the island....the beaches were lovely,the rocks were great for scrambling around on...it made me feel like a little kid, scrambling up to the top of the rocks and trying hard not to get blown over by the uber strong winds...the air was so fresh and so clean and it did me loads of good...right now,I'm stressed about the next essay,due a week from today and my head just isn't functioning. My memory is almost non-existent and it took me about 3 hours to get thru an article today. I wish I didn't have 9am classes on tuesday...it just makes me feel useless the rest of the day. Hope you guys are faring better. Oh! On a happy note but one which could potentially involve much academic pain in the upcoming weeks, I should be going to see Carl Cox and friends next saturday in Glasgow..it is going to be mental....1,900 person standing capacity! Hurrah!
