Live and almost 8
Posted: Saturday, 02 July 2005 |
Saturday night on Gigha and ensconced in front of Live 8 with a wee swally of vino blanco. The last time round I wasnt legal and the event had more edge - or perhaps I am getting old?? Didn't the acts spend longer performing. Queen were on for ages yet these young ones pop off after 2 songs or so. Is it going to make any difference? Who knows, but its given us all something to watch on the telly on a Saturday (beats the lottery show hands down - but did I win the bonus ball this week??).
The bonus ball competition run by the shop (in aid of the Trust) is the closest Gigha gets to legalised gambling - we have considered setting up a bingo hall in front of Coel Mara (serve folks right for complaining about housing going up...) but probably wouldnt get planning permission!
First blog from Gigha and cannae compete with Rhonie Rho - but who can (more power to yer elbow lass...)
Over, out and beyond hope...

More photos as promised...
Dont know what has happened to all of our gigha postings - they seem to have been washed away with the tide....perhaps Mike can sort this one out??
We've lost all of Rhoney Rhos wonderful musings!
All quiet on Gigha today. Quite unusually its a misty isle with not enough wind for the Dancing Ladies (wind turbines) - so nae dancing on Gigha at the moment,but perhaps later on after a few nips something will stir...
Looking forward to a long hot summer on this paradise isle - arent we all??
Hey - we are having a raft race on Sat 23 July at 12 noon for any other interpid islanders who wish to take up the challenge???
Post your interest here!
