ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014
Hiya luvvies!
Sorry for the absence... it's been overwhelming around these parts. Convolutedly, (is that a word?) I have a wee break now that Bill has arrived... him and my mother have been yakking in the sitting room (he can talk... he's a lawyer!). Jim is out walking Jack and I have a blessed half hour to myself, I've just booked a hotel for us in Edinburgh for Monday night. Need to find one in Glasgow for Tuesday then it's off back Stateside. We're going to my cousin in Edinburgh for dinner on Monday. (May get fed by the one in Glasgow on Tuesday!) :H
It's always too short when I come home... 3 weeks sounds like a long time but it goes past in a flash. Wish we were staying longer to be honest.
Done a few more walks/hikes and even had a couple of sunny days but it's back to rain today. We're supposed to be going out on a boat tomorrow, weather permitting. It's "wellie weather" for sure now though, so we'll see how the seafaring conditions are tomorrow.
It's been a bit sad seeing how quiet the town is. The bad economy has really taken it's toll. Quite a lot has changed since I was here last year, businesses shutting down. The island is beautiful of course, but I just wonder where all the people are??? They must do a lot of TV watching. It's a different type of life, that's for sure. I don't think I could ever settle here, it's so quiet. If you didn't know people you'd be bored stiff. I reckon 2 weeks on 2 weeks off would be perfect for this environment! Like the oil rigs.
OK, now I'm rambling...
Back at home, things are more on-line with my Mum... finally. She has loads of new pain management pills/gadgets/patches and a lot of new resources. She has a stack of Doctor appointment letters that have arrived in the past few days. It's been great getting it sorted out.
I'll try and check in later... if I get a chance. Maybe having the extra person here will take the heat off me for a day or so. Fingers bloody well crossed!!! :H
