walking around campus

---

Today, Kathy and I walked around campus. There's a big loch (bigger than we had expected) right in the middle of campus with a path around the whole thing. We had a great time running away from the vicious swans and checking out Airthrey Castle, which is right here on campus and has some classes conducted in it. We got back to our flats just in time for the rain to start- talk about good timing! 😊

After not getting to the William Wallace Monument yesterday because of weather, I figured this would be a good way to get outside and see a little bit more of Scotland. Next weekend, maybe we'll venture out a little further lol.

uh...
what exactly defines a "skunk duck"? and how do you get only a "kinda mean" swan - how does that differ from a mean one? natives are restless... miss you. love, fang

A skunk duck is indigenous to Scotland, specifically Stirling. While spending its days swimming in a very peculiar way, it finds its food by diving under water and remaining there long enough to convince everyone that saw it go down- that it has drown. It also seems to look kind of skunkish w its white nose.

alrighty then
I think I want one. Pearl will love it. Your pictures are cool, but I'm still waiting to hear what the qualifications for "kinda mean" swan are, because I'd like to add a fully-mean one to my collection and I don't want to get gipped with a "kinda mean" one. If you weren't an 11-hour flight away, I'd round up David and my two sidekicks and make them all come visit you. I'm sure you'd love that. Perhaps we could all stay in your "flat." :)
