A Bit of Beach

A very nice day here in Scotland. We've been getting unusually good weather here and it's been great. So we took a little tour around, passed by abandoned abbey's out in the countryside as well as the world famous Turnberry golf course until we settled on the beach for awhile.


As you can see, the whole family is out on the beach digging in the sand and building sand castles.


We found a not so friendly crab out on the beach as well. This is a picture of him in his defencive stance clacking it's pinchers at us and backing away into the wet sand.

Changing the subject just a little, we are all moved into our flat. There's just a few things here and there that need done and an issue of not having a couch (that's been fixed temporarily by a set of camping chairs). We don't have internet yet or home phone but we got our Television License so we're now legal to operate our television! Who would have thought that one day I would need a licence for that!!! I guess common opinion of operating televisions over here is that it's a tricky business. Much like needing a license to operate a vehicle, you have a licence to operate your TV. Instead of taking a test and only paying once, you must just pay once a year and there's no need to take a test for the operation of a TV (thank goodness because I might have failed) I don't really care enough about the TV to bother knowing how to turn the wretched thing on!
I've been banned from touching remotes by Paul now. At Paul's brother's place I just hit as many power buttons on the various remotes as possible to try and turn the entire system off. I ended up with the surround system on and the TV apparently off, then the DVD player turned on and started playing a movie..... grrrrr technology overload!!! Somebody hand me a book!
