01 July 2012

I'm on a roll!  Another lb lost for a TOTAL of 55 lbs!  Yippee! 

Today was a great day!  We had lunch at the Globe Inn, one of Robert Burns' haunts in Dumfries--which gives you an idea of how old the place is since he died in 1796.  It was a good lunch; roast beef and steamed veggies--very diet-friendly.  After lunch, we headed off to Threave Castle, the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle, Lincluden Collegiate Church and Lochmaben Castle.

We had a bit of trouble finding the Globe Inn and I finally gave up and stopped at a petrol station for directions.  Well--everybody had an opinion, most of which depended on me knowing where their favorite landmarks were.  A very nice man took pity on me and had us follow him to a good parking place; it turns out the pub is in a pedestrianized area, so basically "you can't get there from here".  Lunch was very good!  I think tomorrow I'll add some pictures to this but for tonight, I'm pretty tired and I have to work a day shift tomorrow.

I've got my lunch mostly packed and ready to go so now it's time to head to bed.  'Night all...
