Thanks for all your good wishes! I think I had a migraine on Friday and was still feeling fuzzy brained on Saturday. I’m taking echinacea and using Vick’s First Defence to beat the cold germs into submission. I love that First Defence stuff!
I was tagged by the Captain to reveal my current desktop, so here it is:

The Great DividePosted on September 25th, 2007 @ 6:36 pm
There are some days when I find myself cursing the fact some laws are different in Scotland and England. There are a few major changes coming into force in England next week in regards to a change in a certain Act and it is causing a lot of problems for our office which is governed by a similar Act.
The whole problem is the changes in England are getting a lot of media attention and people are not taking the time to listen or read properly. The articles in the Press clearly state the changes are happening in ENGLAND and WALES, so why all the panic in Scotland? If we were about to do the same thing, we’d let people know about it. It also doesn’t help when a national newspaper gets their facts wrong and gives out our telephone number when talking about the English office. And, of course, when I point that out to callers, it then becomes my fault. Huh?
It’s all causing a lot of confusion and I have days where I just want to stick my head in a bucket!
ETA: we’ve had the official central heating switch on so now it is WINTER!!

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my Edinburgh Castle post and the lovely Gattina wins the goodies which should be winging their way to you soon. So, since my posts about Scotland are so popular, I was wondering what you wanted to read about? Are you tired of castles? Want even more castles? The reason why I’m asking is I’m starting to run out of the castles I’ve actually visited! That goes for places as well, although there are tonnes of place I could still write about even if I haven’t visited in reality.
