Monday is currently one of the yucky nights on TV. So we make do. We listened on the radio to the Lady Mocs beat Wofford, staying unbeaten in the Southern Conference (so far). Overlapping that, John had on the women of UNC playing the Lady Huskies of UConn. Unfortunately, UConn came from behind for a narrow win.
Then we watched part of a DVD that we have from Netflix. Have y'all read any of the little mysteries by M.C.Beaton? She has two characters. One is a middle-aged woman named Agatha Raisin; the other is a youngish constable named Hamish MacBeth. Both are set in small villages in Scotland. We fell in love with them years ago, and have looked for each new one as it was released.
In 2006, we went to Scotland on an Elderhostel. One of our stops was at the village of Plockton, which happened to be the town that was used as the setting in a BBC series based on the Hamish MacBeth stories (called Loch Dubh in the books). Wow! We didn't know there had been such a series, but once we walked through the town, we surely started looking for it. We finally found DVDs of the three seasons on Netflix. We're almost finished with the third season. It's really fun to look at the shows and say, "I know where that is!" The programs are absolutely delightful, and we highly recommend them.
Today's photo was taken in Plockton, Scotland (Loch Dubh).
