Travel
Just home from a few days away.
This past weekend was the annual writing one that![[profile]](https://imgprx.livejournal.net/5470e8a4a603bd1833fa36a9a86b71f1ecf7e8b01a39c735f45089129781f206/P2WlxyVijxKghGxs_sxUUUMdsf-ah7h0yFmVCbZBitHe5BHQgcnrB1ghT056GQJiv05e0zTaZg1RFEYV0g0o-lRBm3nIevQ:qbCRiTUw02Biz67N2jtzPg)
raynewton and I usually go to, but after her stroke last year, she didn't want to risk the journey, and I decided not to go alone. Just as well - her sister got the chance of a four day break, and asked me to stay with Ray while she was away. I bullied her into going for a walk each day (apart from Monday when it was really, really wet all day). It's taken a year, and while we recognised that she'd made a great recovery, I'm really seeing a massive improvement now every time I visit.
My visit coincided with my six-monthly check up after my little op three years ago - all clear, no problems, go back in March. But oh, it was so frustrating - I believe in getting there with plenty of time in hand, but they were running half an hour late... so I sat there in the waiting area for close on two hours... Thank goodness for a kindle!
I drove down, though I used train and taxi to go to the clinic. The traffic was surprisingly heavy, with a lot of tour buses still on the road, and coming back it was very wet. The north of Scotland is getting the tail end of one of the hurricanes - the one with the L name, can't remember it... It's not particularly windy here, but I passed one electronic sign just before Loch Lomond - 'All sailings to Barra and Uist are cancelled' so it must be really wild in the Minch.
