The walk was along Machrihanish Beach, followed by our excited dog and a lasagne lunch in Campbeltown. Not the most exciting of days. No Scrabble today. The dog’s scrabbling in the sand for a cow’s putrid and putrifying mandible doesn’t count.
The dog enjoyed herself today (until I removed the mandible from her mandibles and chucked it into the Sound of Jura). My parents also enjoyed themselves at an entertaining consultation session regarding parochial plans to privatise some paths; they had a chitchat with land-owners, holiday-makers, horse-riders, dog-walkers, etc.
By “chitchat” I don’t mean a heated argument. I also don’t mean a bird superficially similar to a chiffchaff but more closely related to the winchat.
