It was so nice to see Birna and Frank on Friday evening/Sat morning and I hope to see them again next Saturday plus, of course, any others who would like to join us. I really wish I was there in Glenelg right this moment, but I'm in poor shape and it wasn't possible - I would have been a nuisance to everyone else if I had gone to the lodge. I have to take medicines - by the clock - 6 times a day, coughing and choking every time I try to swallow medicine or food; toilet from 4 to 8 times during the night, plus terrible muscle-cramps in both legs - everybody would be having very disturbed nights; daytime would be spoiled too - can't walk more than 100 metres, advised not to drive. Parkinson's is not a lot of fun, but I am pursuing two possible methods of reducing the worst of the symptoms, and slowing down the progression of the disease. Wish me luck.
And have a good time in "Bonnie Scotland" - I hope the weather is kind to you.
All the best,
David
Now that I have read/seen the many posts already, I have learned about the ferry problem. That damn ferry was a major part of my plan for the week, and though there is another way across to Skye - the bridge - it involves a MUCH longer drive. I'm very sorry this has happened, but the mechanical reliability of ferry-boats is beyond my pay-grade.
I hope it gets sorted SOON.
Dave
