Just a quick note from scotland! It is too difficult to write too much becase of the difference in the keyboard. so i am going to try not to press enter or to capitlise anything. what a pain, but i understand :)

well it has been a great week. however on our day out we got stuck in jersey. i fucking hate jersey. jersey is hell. i didn't meet a single nice person in jersey. in fact, the manager at our hotel restaurant made me cry!!! what a rude and mean man.

well scotland is better than i could have imagined! i took sarahsundaes advice and i am trying not to do any calorie counting or anythign like that. i am trying to eat as i please. i have not puked once since i have been here either. very proud of that :) breakfasts are huge here. if you eat meat (not me) you get the full scottish breakfast, 1 or 2 eggs, ham, sausage, bloodpudding, haggis, tattie scone (its a potato thing) toast, oj, coffee or tea, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, and cereal. can you believe it????? but the good thing is, you save plenty of money becuase the food comes with the room and you don't need to eat till very late. which by the way is great becuase all too often it is too difficult to find a place to eat dinner. most places will not serve dinner till about 7 or so. so it has been a little weird. and most of the cities around here are dead unless you like to drink. so i have been working on that. but it hasn't gone too well. still can't help but fixate on the fact that alcohol is one of the most potent sources of empty calories known to man.

the rooms are great here. they all have little sinks, and they put in electric kettles and and cookies too. we have paid as little as �17 per person (like tonight) to as much as �25 per person. the best ones are run by little old ladies. they are so sweet and so kind. we have an old lady tonight...we are in Kirkwall on the Island of South Rondaldsay in scotland. i think we might go up to Sanday island on thurs or friday.

well i should stop now becuase brian wants to go find dinnner. oh well :) we are having a wonderful time together, and we haven't killed each other yet!!!!

oh and another thing....i am coming home very very very fat. but i made him promise me that i can join a gym when we get home ;-)
