Thanks everyone. We managed to go & had a good evening. Welcomed by a piper and the food was excellent. Good company and we were home by nine which was late enough.
Neither of us slept well.

Thanks @milann Thanks @doingitanyway
A bit worried as my head still keeps bleeding intermittently. Will monitor over the weekend. I am actually surprised how much this has taken out of me. Definitely don’t bounce back like I used to.
