    Sorry to hear about your fall Beanie. Glad the boiler is sorted out. Hope your chocolate doesn't melt in the sun.

    Not long till I am in your lovely part of the world , looking forward to it immensely.

    Hope you aren't to sore today. Maybe a sit in the sun if it's nice with you will help.

    I hope you are not too battered and bruised from your fall. And let us hope that resolves the boiler pressure issue.

    I shall also be up your way - opposite Arran and in a bit next week (at my Mum's) and then up in the southern Highlands the following week with friends in a big house (a bit left of you, I think). I am looking forward to it.

    A stay within the UK can be a wonderful thing :) beanie, I hope you're not horribly sore today, and that a bit of sun can do its magic on you.

    Of course you're cheesed off with the falling! The weather too, actually - I noticed from the weather map this morning how Scotland is really getting it at the moment, compared to England in general and my bit in particular.
