Soop, I can understand your removal men`s confusion over Tarbert/Tarbet, there are several in Scotland of various spellings, aren`t there? The flight from Campbeltown would be a great idea, saving all that long journey.
David went into the hospice tonight. We arrived at the hospital at lunchtime, to be told that a room was available for him at the Butterfly hospice, and that he would be transferred during the afternoon. Then we were given 4.30 for the time, then at 4.50 we were told that the transport would be delayed and it would be 6.15. In the end they came for him at just after 6.30pm. I didn`t get home till 10.30pm, after being out for 10 hours, and starving hungry! I`m still not sure if he`s taken the move in just yet, but it`s a lovely place, only 6 patients at a time, each in their own ensuite room with TV, and best of all, we can take Mia in to see him, animals are allowed. We haven`t told him, we`re just going to turn up with her.
N&G, where were you in your lovely cabin? It looks very peaceful.

Tizliz I have shown your message to MacS and we'll be booking the tickets tomorrow.
Charleyg I shall also mention your message. It would be crazy not to fly to Glasgow (especially as it's a special occasion)...
The transporters are huge. A police car waves down the traffic well ahead of the convoy. We're very used to them by now.
It is chilly. The wind is easterly.
Goodnight for now. Wishing you all a peaceful evening. 
I've got a "Smart Arse" air freshener in our cloak room, every time I walk in it squirts - is it trying to tell me something ? 
Wobblybits A friend has a battery operated "smart-arse" bin. You only have to pass by and the lid opens. After a month, she decided that it was too clever by half and removed the batteries.
oldgoat Your birthday cake is perfect.
NanaandGrampy It is pheasant roaming time here abouts. The males (in particular) dice with death as they wander across the road, change-up their minds (as Torben would say) and go back from whence they started.
bags Oh the frustration of trying to make sense of so-called "help lines"...
The type of helpful young lady you mention, certainly helps to bring the blood pressure down.
corner Have a lovely peaceful afternoon with the butterflies.
Our granddaughter who is to be married in Amsterdam next year, phoned to tell us that to book the flight right now would be a good idea. We're toying with the idea of flying from Campbeltown airport to Glasgow. It's a twenty five minute flight! By road, almost 4 hours. Naturally, it's costly. I'm trying to convince MacSporran that we should look upon the three day event as a special treat. Special treats at "our age" are well deserved. He's mulling things over. Common sense will prevail - eventually.
Met with three huge transporters each carrying a single turbine blade on the road to Campbeltown. Police escort. For the turbine parts (not us). Pic below.
oldgoat The mobile greenhouse tale made me chortle.
Dear number It is a fact that you would not be able to cope with David and a disabled daughter without 24 hour specialist care. It really isn't surprising that David is confused. The hospital environment can be chaotic. The peaceful atmosphere in the hospice will be very much better for him...and, in turn, you. Wishing you peace of mind.
It it's not too late charleygirl we got a very reasonably priced bin from Argos three years ago, not a mark on it other than the dent where Mr C dropped a torch on it .
Thinking of you and your David number, can understand you wishing you could manage at home, but of course it's not possible. My Dad was a hospice patient, the staff so kind and gentle with us as well as him, it is the next best thing to home and so different to a hospital environment.
bags, now I know why I couldn't get through to Vodafone this morning! I'm steaming, they have messed up my account for three months now, all the very sweet apologies in the world aren't fixing it. Had some costs reduced but it won't be enough to keep me with them. I've needed to eat the chocolate muffin intended for the grandchildren. Not good for them anyway . Even that hasn't calmed me.
Love your holiday view n&g, were you in or near Thetford Forest? Lived there many, many moons ago.
Off to a butterfly farm this afternoon, not only will it be jolly warm inside it will be a good Vodafone antidote. .
Remembering the removal man's reaction when I told him there's be fifty boxes of books also makes me laugh. Great guy of the Glaswegian "what you see is what you get" type. Right up the street of a Yorkshire tyke like me
Charley I bought a tall stainless? steel bin from Tesco for my new kitchen (3 months) and it's already covered in little rust spots! My kitchen isn't damp. Cost £20. Just saying
Good morning!
A final walk for Sam before we return to the hustle and bustle !! Had a lovely to
I'm with DGD 1 and DGS1 , having the freedom to go out of the door , get their bikes and rise off into the forest or even to run an errand for mummy to the lodge shop was amazing and wonderful to see!
Thought I'd add a picture from my coffee seat and some wildlife we never see at home !
Sending some ❤️❤️❤️ To Number and David xx
Wise words from Daphne.
number You are doing the very best you can
I echo what Daphne says, number. You are having a difficult time so please take care of yourself and rest when you can.,
