I’ve been away for a few weeks, but it only takes one look at the island Facebook page to remember why I need to live on this little Scottish island.
[NOTE: I haven’t posted lately, so my new mousepad says it all. But I’m ordering a new muse online, and this time I’ll spring for the upgrade, an iMuse who comes with integrated AI and an automatic coffee maker.]

We do sometimes see posts about moose or bear in the road on our town’s facebook page (and the moose or bear really is downtown…), but nothing beats a Hairy Coo in the road!

I definitely need a new muse, too! Good to know they are readily available online. Is yours a clone of one of the original nine? 😉

Those shaggy Scottish steers are a definite attraction, but the muse coffee maker is also a draw. Does it also seve scones???

When you move to a remote rural community, they should provide you with a course in shepherding/wrangling for those frequent occasions when livestock reclaim the land. I’d herd most critters except for pigs. Are you going to share the iMuse coffee maker website with the group? :D

I love those coos!! They will be in the next book. Please don’t through that mouse pad away or the muse. Some of us may be able to use it/her.

Love the cows on the loose, and your new mousepad might get your fingers typing.

Oh dear. If anybody DOESN‘T need AI, it‘s you my girl…. I don‘t think I could take any more ai lies/tales/‚translations‘, and especially not from you.
Mousepad looks cool – and I personally decided for Hero Husband and myself that the ONE exception of never having any Nestlé product in my home, was buying a Nespre.s.so capsule machine, because their coffee is simply divine. Then, not long after buying it, several ppl told me (unasked!) that the European chain called L.id.l sells fantastic pods too. I tested and found the ‚critics‘ were right and since then I‘ve never bought those others….. So, if your coffee is SO important, you sd maybe check if you can get the stuff shipped cheaply to your island. I mean WE can get highland beef here, so it should work. At least theoretically…
