I had a dream that the pope was going door to door in my neighborhood with his crew of pope agents, sweeping through houses one by one. I got a ride on their big walking platform that they used to get around, and brought my neighbor’s fluffy bulldog Zelda with me. Unfortunately Zelda fell off and broke her back, and I never saw the dog again. I got off the mobile platform when the agents started chasing me.
I ran into a construction zone and hid in a dresser drawer to escape them. Then a group of old Russian priests came along, found me hiding, and explained that the pope was going and killing everyone in the world one at a time to turn them into pumpkin head zombies, and sent me to defeat him at his base on the Island of Skye. When I got there the pope’s pumpkin ninja assassins attacked me and my roommate, and it ended with me and my roommate having a pretend sword fight with plastic swords.

Bonnie Prince Charlie (1948)
In 1743, James Francis Edward, Prince of Wales, son of deposed King James II of England and Ireland and VII of Scotland decides he is too old to return to England to reclaim the English, Scottish and Irish crowns. Living in exile in continental Europe, he summons his son Prince Charles Edward Stuart to name him Prince Regent and entrust him with the task of reclaiming the crowns from the sitting monarch, King George II. During the succession debacle, the House of Stuart received the support of their Catholic subjects, while King George II of the House of Hanover had the support of the Protestants. Catholic France supported the House of Stuart's claim to the English, Scottish and Irish thrones. In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, affectionately known as Bonnie Prince Charlie and The Young Pretender, is finally sent to Scotland with French support to reclaim the throne from George II for the House of Stuart. With a warship and seven companions, Prince Charlie lands on a Scottish shore in great secrecy. His first task is to send word out and rally all the nobles and chieftains of all the Scottish clans. If he means to defeat the English in battle he must rally all of the Scottish clans to his cause. King George II of England gets wind of these activities, from his spies, but for the moment he is not worried. Bonnie Prince Charlie persuades all Scottish nobles and chieftains, except one, to join him in a rebellion against the English. The only dissenting Scottish nobleman argues that, without any significant French military support, the rebellion will fail. Undeterred, Bonnie Prince Charlie raises his royal standard on the 19th of August 1745 and claims the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland in front of a gathering of Scottish nobles and chieftains. The Jacobite Rebellion has begun!~IMDB~

“A Break in the Rain at Loch Brittle.”
Tumblr media
Pastel on smooth, white 300gsm paper, approx 102mm x 113mm.
We’d been confined to our tent all day as it had been raining heavily. Then just before sunset the rain stopped and we celebrated with a walk along the loch, thanking the weather gods.

Scotland's pristine Isle of Skye is expecting 1,000,000 visitors this year. Conservationists wonder if the island can handle such volume.

Sligachan bridge and the Cuillin in winter
This classic angle of the Black Cuillin over the old bridge at Sligachan appears in many guide books and calendars. The shot is taken from the modern A87 road bridge over the River Sligachan.
