Last Sunday I cancelled a band rehearsal because I was sick. It only lasted twenty-four hours. Then Tuesday a came down with a cold. Okay, no problem. Thursday I started coughing. Then came the headaches. Today I cancelled a second rehearsal in a row. Then I went back to bed. Nine hours later I got up, still feeling the same. I haven't finished today's '100 Years' posting because I just can't concentrate. On top of that we have an apartment inspection coming up Tuesday and I need to do a lot of cleaning, which I'm also not up to.

I've slept 18 hours out of the last 24, I've only been up for two hours and I'm going back to bed.

Another day with the loony neighbours ripping into each other screaming their heads off, this crap has been going on for weeks now and I am really getting fed up with these chavs.









Get well Steve the band needs you mate.

Just in from Scotland tour: hit nine whiskey distilleries, 5 castles, in over 12 days: Incl: Oban; the Isle of Skye, the Boarders and Speyside. Edinburgh, Holyrood and Falkirk castles were superb! The food was great and the board & breakfasts we stayed in were wonderful; some fronting directly on fabulous lochs. B&B Scottish hospitality is stupendous. Lots of fabulous cloudscapes and snowy peaks in the highlands. Fotos when my daughter and 'friend' get around to e-mailing them.

House decorating all finished now so yesterday we went shopping for new light fittings (ceiling, table and freestanding), a standalone electric fire, curtains, voiles and some more concrete garden ornaments (tortoise, hare and a hedgehog).

Couldn't stop tripping the electrics after fitting the ceiling lights so asked a kindly neighbour (with an electrical qualification) to sort it out....took him ten minutes to sort (I'd inadvertently crossed a wire) so I paid him in wine terms because he refused offers of money.

Wife is now quite happy and I'm even happier because the wine was from her stocks and I got to keep all my beer

Following our initial three day stay in Edinburgh and the World of Whisky tour, and due to a stormy strait situation, we got to see this scenc monument on a blustery day, with snow in the peaks, dedicated to British commandos who trained here during WWII. Our trip allowed a night in Glenrothes (the Boarders) and our favorite Oban (Oban Distillary).With our intended route to Skye via ferry at Maillag cut off by heavy seas in the Strait of Sleat, we went long route 'round to Fort William along the scenic Lochs: Alsh & Cluanie to the only bridge to Isle of Skye access at Kyle of Lochalsh>
We travelled some serious one lane roads; all the way to the northern tip of Skye to foto at Milovaig at the tip of the Duirinish Peninsula; stopping at the Talisker Distillery at Carbost. Talisker was the favourite whisky of writer Robert Louis Stevenson; my daughter is the director of the RLS museum in St Helena, CA (think Silverado Squatters ...written during his sojourn in CA)...Hey practically a IRS business deduction 'write-off' there... imho! Following that we headed to Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms National Park. We sampled Dalwhinnie, Chivas Regal, GlenGrant & Cragganmore in Ballindallochdistilleries in the 'Speyside' district of whisky making. Getting misdirected by our GPS down the dirt farm path to Cragganmore required all of my old fire-trail Santa Cruz Mtns. trucker-driving skills (steering wheel on the Audi 6's right side)as (still sober)relief-driver to the (by then) 'over Scotch-sampled' kids' driving! A marvelous feat at age 66!{@ Jimbuna: you've got to have a Scottish venison pie at Craig's Pub in Grantown-on Spey; It's crammed with wonderful WWII and post- war airplane memorabilia/photos.} Following a hasty redistribution of various bottles for customs declaration limits amongst our bags, and a ten-hour flight-(over 25 hours awake each way)...we are pleased to sleep in our own bed ...with a vodka gimlet nightcap!(Note; for all grammar-Nazis; whiskey in Scotland is spelled Whisky)
