Now we never have to go on holiday again!  I'm just off to Edinburgh for an hour.   ;D

Bet you can't find Lochindorb on there though.

Is it worth popping up there for five minutes?   ;D

Yes, it's a wonderful place.

I wondered why the students have been spending so much time on Google Maps instead of doing assignments.

It's actually a wonderful tool.  I've just been back to where I used to live on the Isle of Wight, and they've had the cheek to have a new front porch door fitted, and have installed bay windows!  I then went round the estate where I used to cycle, and took the walk to my primary school.  Even the sweet shop is still there in the village!  I shall no doubt be back there to explore some more, as I could have spent hours there this evening.

For once, the curtains were open!  Must have been the day the cleaner comes.  ;D

I took a look at mine, the playground is now a car park - which probably sums up modern life.
