The Friday Five
It's been a bit of a quiet week on the blog front I'm afraid. Much of the early part was spent in the fuzzy aftermath of a concussion. But all is well, back on track, and here it is, the Friday Five!
1. Brendan heard the first cuckoo last night. The most impressive part of this is that it took me no less than five attempts to remember the spelling of cuckoo. I went through coucou (laughable) caoco (coco bean) cookoo (getting there) and cukoo (close, but no banana). There's almost a Friday Five there, in the spelling misadventures alone. Maybe that concussion hasn't quite left the system yet. But seriously, welcome cuckoo!
2. WE HAVE BROADBAND! It is incredible. We can answer the phone whilst online. We can look at a page online without having to take a tea break during the wait. We can do lots of things that were just never available to us. It's a blessing.
3. We're taking lots of bookings at the moment for healthy hen parties. Groups of girls come up for the weekend take a few Eco Cabins and indulge in treatments, Uisce Hours, and a bit of TLC. It seems that the appeal of trawling through a city centre with all manner of bumf stuck to your back is dwindling. For more information, get in touch.
4. We're experimenting with a wheat and dairy free diet at the moment. Our bread is already spelt and vegan (don't forget the ongoing bread war) and we have switched to oat or rice milk, which is just fantastic. For anyone who isn't a fan of soya (myself included) either is a brilliant alternative. Keep your eyes on the blog for some new vegan recipes.
5. Apparently it's set to be a gorgeous weekend this week, so hopefully you'll be out and appreciating a spell of good weather. This Saturday we're hosting our second Yoga & Relaxation Retreat, which is set to be great fun. Included in the afternoon is a guided walk around Loch Nahoo, which is only here for a few more weeks I'd say. A fine time to see what wildlife is still milling around!
That's all for this weeks (somewhat blurry) Friday Five. Have a fantastic weekend!
