Nothing very exciting happening.

Back to normal , or nearly - yet another sleepless night, so no point in lying in bed wide awake (but no cramps for a change)

Seem to have had a recurrence of the dreaded "Gyppy" tummy these past couple of days, not sure if it is changing back to Scottish Water after a few days of paddling in the Nile, however, Saturday , Sunday and yesterday were "slow " days.

Had planned for a recovery day yesterday but ended up working my way through a few essential jobs here, including a visit to see Grant @ Photogenix. Eventually ended up stripping wallpaper and painting for several hours !! So that will lead to more work later in the week. Even Sparky got roped in to help as he was finding tearing paper off the wall quite therapeutic.

Neither he nor his walking companions made it to the top of Ben Nevis on Saturday as the conditions with snow and gale force winds meant that everyone was turning back about 40 minutes from the summit - a sign of good sense .

Wee Jeannie @ Auntie Jean from Blantyre sadly died last week and we now know that the funeral will take place this coming Saturday - with family coming up from all parts of the UK.

Flights from the south are very expensive due to the rugby international at Murrayfield on Saturday, Scotland v Australia. Pub will hopefully be very busy, however, I was going to miss that due to the Installation of Craig Gordon into the chair as RWM at Lodge Dalhousie Bonnyrigg 720 - so I will also miss that now.

Today is RGB's birthday so looks like we are out for a celebration dinner in Edinburgh this evening,
