In and out like a Yo Yo.

Getting fed up with popping on and off the screen, however, circumstances decree that this has to be.

There I was, back home last week, doing well minding my own business when I had a rather rude awakening on Thursday night.  End result a nocturnal trip to the hospital compliments of the Scottish Ambulance Service. Must compliment the Penicuik First Responder and the officers who followed a short time later, During the trip I impressed my escort by being able to tell him exactly where we were at one point -  right on the button.  The kind of thing you read about in books where hostages are blindfold in the back of a car trying to remember all the twists and turns en route so they can relate later where they went.   Anyway, back to hospital I went. Bumped into my pal Jock in the A  & A who had also had an early rise !!! I  ended up in a bed, and had pains for twenty four hours,  and long story short, another bash at the procedure  where they discovered that the stent inserted in the original op had been "underdeployed" !!!!  Nice choice of words, open to interpretation.

So after a few days of hospital meals I am home again, not quite to square one,  but well on the mend thank goodness.

So I need to catch up with the Saturday episode of the "Voice"  even if it is just to see Kylie again, and this morning saw Andy Murray lose in Melbourne - up to him to fight another day.
Talking of Andy,   my mate at Border Bikes, Duns,  called to say he had worked the oracle on one of our bikes.  Once again proving that it is far better to make use of a first class independent motor cycle mechanic rather than a High Street name whose prices are inflated and who would rather write off machines as their prices are so high they cannot justify some repairs.

Have been watching the workmen at the ERI laying out the new car parks, roads and mono blocking these past four days!!  will be interesting to see the state of the place in a years time when everything starts to settle.
So I will settle down again also.
