Flying home.

Its been a great couple of days with the team from web integrations. They have really helped me focus on the work required to take the website forward and improve the quality of our content side. Bob Euan and Liz are a great team and it was a pleasure working with them. The hotel was primitive in the extreme. Redeemed mainly by the pleasant lady who served brekkie. Mobile phone and internet connection were pants. Still I enjoyed the rest. Looking forward to going home. 2 years today. Feels good. People who matter know what that means. Next week sees the 6 year anniversary of my bypass. Another big milestone. Planning another visit to gustav klimt tomorrow with dinner out. Sunday ruth and paul here so a busy weekend.

Touch down Aberdeen

If anything feeling a little hyper. Manchester airport better organised than the shitshed coach station named after john lennon. It was faster cheaper smoother more organised. Now sat in the back of the cab mobile for stonehaven. Reassured to see cab driver doesn't know where we are going either. Good to see Mick last night looking bronzied and refreshed from a week in Majorca. Anyway here for 2 days training with Pip by Bob and Liz on our new content management system Sitellite.
Got weighed yesterday down 2.6 pound so pleased with that. Now last 4 stone plus since starting me preop diet. Need to get back to the gym again.

Going to revisit the Klimt exhibition before it closes on Sunday. Got plenty of wlsinfo and gravitas stuff to sort.

No sat in costa listenin to willie nelson and wynton marsalis in costa. Trying to do some of the physical thing.

I saw a Venezuelan firefighter in Tesco.

Assuming Caracas is in that country and Bomberos is the word for fire fighter. Must be part of the world fire fighter games.

Thursday am

Up early. Legs achingl beyond belief. I guess yesterday I walked a helluva lot. And without crutches. Guess I am using muscles I didn't know I had after being in that plaster of paris.

A Levels

The royal

Sat in fracture clinic waiting. What a pain in the bum. Had an xray which thanks to modern NHS IT was not done as a film but sent electronically to the clinic. The system prints me a chit to hand in and I hobble away. Intercepted by sister in clinic. Who looks accusingly and exclaims "is this yours. " Innocently I said yes - the name on the chit betrays me. I am not mrs patricia macintyre. I do though ask what she has and whether her prognosis is better than mine. Identity theft seems an option for a few minutes. In the meantime the A level news comes in.............

Yet more complaints

That I haven't been blogging. Truth is I have been mad busy. Was lecturing in Leeds. Came back busy at work. Busy on website doing my utmost to get all done even with a broken leg. Involved in two projects I had to sign non disclosure agreements about. So they remain secrets for now. All will come clear one day. Not that exciting really.
Ally gets a job with Liverpool PCT for the summer doing stuff based at Earle Road medical centre. Dublin based work takes up a lot of my efforts. Involved with the web space and radio advertising big time. I hate not being able to drive have to rely on Jean, Conor for work, and friends for meetings. Writing this for the museum conservation centre having just seen a great exhibition Stewart Bale photographs called Metropolis. Closes tomorrow and I was keen to catch it. Jeans birthday yesterday so a lot of birthday foccused activity. Yesterday saw debut of Sophia my great niece and goddaughters child. She is delightful pictures on flickr.
