Seriously Robertson, you're killing me here. We can't get there for 54 1/2 weeks yet. Just keep it coming and I'll take my meds.

BTW, what is June like there?

June is a time of shear delight in the Highlands. All the sheep flock together and bleat a path down to see ewe 2 in concert. Unfortunatly many are sheared by scalpers and return looking sheepish. The rest return content at pulling the wool over the herders eyes .
