Back to basics

House-sitting for friends in Glasgow and was away at weekend so has taken a few days to reconnect to internet and blog. Enjoying the space and privacy.
A group of eleven of us from church stayed at the Loch Ossian youth hostel Fri night to Sunday, travelling by train, the only way it is reachable other than, say, walking or helicopter. Beautiful location at western end of the loch. Very basic - no showers, toilets without flush or wash basins, electricity from small wind-powered turbine. This was spinning full tilt most times I looked, which made me wonder if the toilet lamps couldn't have been a little brighter - they produced a dim halflight. We wondered if the warden was storing power for some covert project to take over the world...! (not to exaggerate)
This is a late entry and I'm more of a lark than an owl, so can hopefully pick up tomorrow. Night.
