All the rabbits on Faraid Head (Durness) have black snouts - no anthrax there!

We've been lucky up there - onshore winds have limited the midges. We have had some terrible experiences, though - Inverewe gardens and Corrieshalloch Gorge!

Yes, a good breeze sorts them out!
The gardens at Inverewe are well worth a visit,
As is Corrieshalloch, though the bridge shakes a bitty too much for my liking!

Hi, Rusty!
Ah...... well.... this is where I have to confess that camping (as in a tent!) does/ did not come high on my "To Do" list! We always stayed in quiet, way off the beaten track, places - not a souls to be seen either in the distance if in the country, or on the beach if by the sea, apart from occasional dogwalkers!
BUT - and here comes a big BUT, we always stayed in a cottage! I like my comforts even if very basic - ie running water and a bath! Otherwise , I'm with you all the way!
Backed three golfers each way? How does that work?
Re the Hudl.....I've been working through that blog on Google I told you about ... I've tidied up quite a lot from mine, but can't see how to get rid of the Tesco launcher? I'm presuming one has to remove that before installing another launcher?
Hotmail working fine now, though!

Albie, Phil has been second 6 times.
I am not so sure he can cope with the young lads nowadays!

Elle, a cottage is ideal. We stayed in a few.
I remember one had a peat fire. Beautiful smell!
It heated the water and we made toast on it.
For me to get a return on my bet, one of my golfers has to finish in the top 6.
I think the Tesco launcher is built in.
What to do is, go into Play Store and enter "launcher" into Apps search box.
There are loads to choose from.
I chose Nova. I downloaded it and it has taken over from the Tesco one. You do NOT have to uninstall the Tesco one.
My Nova dealt with it.
After that I went into Settings/Apps and disabled/uninstalled loads of apps, including all of Tesco's.
Have a go?
If you don't like it, you can uninstall it and go back to Tesco launcher.

That's 2 points I have lost straightaway...I have also e/w'd Jimmy Walker 33/1 and Sergio Garcia 33/1 with Coral. Garcia owes me money over the years. ...be lucky again with your selections.

Rusty, I will never understand betting! What is it that Albie wants you to do? 16/1 odds sounds good anyway?
If I change the launcher, what happens to the existing icons that I have installed on the Home page? Do they stay there under the new regime, or will I have to reinstall them? I've got the Crossword forum, Accu weather, Google, Firefox, Hotmail etc shortcuts on my home page?
There was a question about Scotland on Eggheads tonight under Geography......
Here you go.....
Of the 800 Scottish islands, how many are inhabited?
130, 330 or 530?
(The Eggheads got it right!)
