R.i.P. Dad

Hard to believe it was 2 years ago today that Dad passed - he would have been approaching 91 by now.

Received an unusual letter last week:

Unfortunately, I don't know - or can't remember - Tony Lang - nor Bill McKinnon for that matter. I wrote back, but I think he's got the wrong person - Tony Lang is over 7 years older than me - he can't have known me at school.

Although our weekend in the Lake District was truncated, at least we got to see Mary and Brian on Friday night - we went out for a curry with them:

Not a terribly good one of Mary

but a better one of Brian

We had a nice walk round both Keswick and Bowness on Windermere on Saturday, taking in a bit of Derwent Water and Windermere. We then decided to drive back to Whitbarrow Village via Ullswater, and came across the famous old Kirkstyle Pass Inn, where we stopped for a half:

Kelly Skyped yesterday - complete with blond hair and pink streaks!

I'm in the office this morning, but I'm meeting up with Ross and Jo - and Gary - at http://www.nhsgrampian.org/nhsgrampian/gra_display_hospital.jsp?p_applic=CCC&pContentID=407&p_service=Content.show& at noon.
