At 530 pm today I am off on a weekend homestay in Insch, which is near Aberdeen farther north on the east coast. I'll be residing with Calum and Roberta Burnet, a farmer and teacher with five grown children. Calum enjoys skiing in his free time, while Roberta, ever the teacher, prefers to increase her intellect through reading. They have 2 dogs, which are hopefully not man-eating Dobermans or toe-eating chihauhas (how the hell do you spell that).

So I bid y'all adieu until Sunday evening, when I shall breeze back into Edinburgh like the prodigal son returning home.

Cheers,
Brian
