Hope all goes well for you, matey.*

Good day all you nice people.
Today I go for my body scan.
The blood test showed up some problems with a couple of the organs.
Have to confess I am bricking it. Torn between needing to know and not wanting to know.
Add to that... its a fasting scan and I don't have it till 1600 . Good job I have a poor appetite at present.

All the best wishes from me as well.

Forecast is for rain and strong winds again and the only decent day looks to be next Sunday and then back to showers every day at best as far as the forecast goes.
Bread on to rise and may try a short walk later.
A kind of sad day again locally as MV Dawn Treader a creel boat which was built in Girvan for a local man 32 years ago has been sold and is leaving this morning for Orkney looking as fresh as the day she arrived. She featured in many tourist pictures alongside a sister ship MV Jacobite owned by his twin brother.

Just did one of those online tests “how long before you die”
it said I will be 91 years old
I was hoping it would say
“are you still here”

Best of luck Dave, hope all goes well.

( I was on a 48 hour fast once and went for a walk to keep me distracted from thoughts of food. Of course my route took me past the local chippie, pizza place and Indian takeaway...)

I managed to get to December the last couple of years. I kind of dislike long trousers now.

Just referred back to my diary. Still wearing shorts on the 31st December last year. We were on the other side of the world though.

Doesn't count. You'll have been wearing something heavier this time last year.

Nope. Shorts weather then too. We were just outside the tropics ...

Humid and drizzly walk done. Will have lunch then put the feet up and watch the cycling.

A glorious warm sunny morning in Porty. Did a 5k along the Prom with Mrs Tenkay and daughter.
Beach cafés were busy, we saw three ladies coming out of the water after their sea swim. Normal swimming costumes, not a wet suit in sight.
