Mirren 15th August

It is getting very cold here.  And it's getting dark earlier and earlier.  Ewen has been away.  He has been climbing the In Pinn, the Inaccessible Pinnacle, Sgurr Dearg in Skye.  It is his first Munro and apparently he has done the hardest first.  While he has been doing that Pam and I have been very busy.  We have kept the house tidy by lying around and, in Pam's case reading.  It's very quiet.  How do the male of the species make things untidy much quicker than the female?  For three days now the house has been immaculate.  Nothing out of place or left lying around.  Pam says that'll change in thirty seconds when Ewen gets home!
