Grabbed a late showing of Death Race on Friday. What. A. Film. I loved it. Cars and guns and violence. What else do you need on a Friday night?? I've always wanted to own and drive a Mustang, and now i want to even bloomin more.
During the week, the girlfriend and i decided we wanted to spend the weekend somewhere other than Glasgow. So on Saturday afternoon we packed a few bags, some supplies and a couple of movies, jumped in the car and headed north west to Portsonachan and a nice wee hotel on the banks of Loch Awe. We chose there because we have been once before and loved it then as well. Its just so peaceful and quiet and the surroundings are, quite frankly, idyllic.
The pictures have been posted the last time we went, but have another anyway:
The we had a relaxing evening, then headed to the restaurant for dinner. This was disappointing to say the least. Steaks should not be as fatty and juicey as the ones we had, especially when they are well done.
Thankfully, the wine was nice.
Back in the room, it was so quiet and peaceful, there was literally no sound. We sat outside for a while and looked at the stars. Don't see them so much in Glasgow. I had a picture but they don't show up on it. 
On Sunday we left the hotel and headed out a bit further to the Oban Sealife Sanctuary.
We spent an amazing five hours here, wandering around, watching the seals and the otter and the other fishies. We saw the 2 resident seals, Laura and Lily swimming around in there pool:
Then we wandered through the rooms that housed different tanks of small sea-life such as crabs, lobsters, jellyfish and seahorses.
We had some lunch then went to see if we could spot the otter. We did!! I love otters. Always have done. This little guys name was Fingle. He was by himself because his sister had died about 6 months ago, but they were a week or so away from getting him a new friend, so all was good!!
( poor pic im afraid, dirty window and he was a fast wee guy! )
After this we wandered around the Sanctuary and got talking to one of the guys that worked there, who showed us the 4 baby seals they had rescued and were taking care of. Poor wee guys were found from different areas of Scotland and rescued. Glad to know they are taken care of for a while and then released back into the wild.
After seeing the two resident seals getting fed ( and cursing the seagulls for stealing their fish!! GRR 
) we headed back to shitey Glasgow and a quiet night in with some pizza and the Bourne Identity.
Another week begins. Back to work. *sigh*
