Glorious May

The weather's great again - we have hardly seen any rain since we came back from Oz and there's none forecast for at least the next 10 days. The ground is tinder dry and there's a Scotland-wide warning about field and forest fires - there's been a few already. Temperatures in the low 20's - perfect!

Ross has had his eye test and his medical so it's all now with Stagecoach to offer him a start date for HGV training.

Luca was back at hospital to see if his foot had healed sufficiently for him to be able to start playing football again after 3 metatarsal fractures but he and his Dad were frustrated that no X-ray was taken to be sure he was now OK to resume, so he's back on the waiting list for this.

Sad news for both Gary and Luca was that Yoda's days finally came to an end this week:


Jo, meanwhile, had her consultation with 2 doctors yesterday. The good news is that nothing adverse was found in any of the blood tests etc. They suspect her leg problems may be Peripheral Neuropathy.

My fractured implant is proving to be a problem. I had a consultation with a dental specialist this week but he wasn't very reassuring - it seems it's going to be a problem to fix it. Here's the before and after shots:


We need to find out exactly which make and model implant this is - I've been in touch with the dental proctice that fitted it back in 2011 but no joy so far. I'm going to be stuck with my pirate smile for a while, it seems:


No more news on my knee operation yet but much better news is that Scott and Lucy are coming over to Scotland in July!

I've been cleaning up the decking on our balcony - here's the before and after shots:


Congrats to grandson Braeden - just turned 21 and now a Sergeant:


The big news is that we have a new Pope - Leo:
