Yes. Our son was I was ward E39, we spent almost a year in there in 1990/91.

I'm glad your boy is doing OK. It always surprises me when I hear stories like that from people I've know for years.

I know it shouldn't, but the illness and hospital world and the carefree 'everything is OK' world seem so far removed from each other that when you're in one you can scarcely imagine what it's like in the other.

In reality, they are only a hair's breadth apart.

So very true. And it's a helluva shock when you go from one to the other. Yesterday afternoon, Eric Bristow was in fine fettle, or so he assumed. the next minute he was gone. Just like that.

Quite a story by Grant, too.

I'm sure you all remember back in the autumn when I said that the trees were late shedding their leaves, well they are late getting them back too. Its like they've decided to have a bit of a lie in.

My hedge is mostly Hawthorn & beech with a peppering of other stuff and the leaves are only just coming through now.

If we carry on at this rate, it won't be summer until November.

Local wildlife page reports first swallows in SW Scotland Friday.

Couldn't be more kestrel if it had an urchin from Barnsley with it.

Nothing budding up this way yet either Red, saying that we'd snow last weekend....

Continuing my series of crap bird photos, here's a silhouette of something blurred flying away.

I think it's a peregrine.
