At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

Escape

The Evacuation took place this morning (not of Dunkirk), but of something much more personal and it was a three part exercise.

I saw the doc. about 11:00 and she says I can go home. That is the theory anyway, but from what I have observed of others, waiting for paperwork to be completed amongst other procedures can involve delays akin to crossing a communist border during the Cold War, but suffice to say, and to continue the military metaphor, I am looking forward to getting back to civvy street.

    Good to hear that an escape plan is in place, pending paperwork. Don't forget to take it *really* easy when you get home.

    Sorry, Gayle, but you wrote what I was thinking, so I'll copy what you've said:

    "Don't forget to take it *really* easy when you get home."

    Hurrah for you, Conrad!

    You'll miss the theatre Conrad! What will you do for entertainment?
    Seriously though, do take it easy and you'll be better in no time...

    Take care Conrad and as others have said, take it easy. When you feel up to it, you can always repeat the bus ride if you need some entertainment and adventure.

    that's good
    just in time for the hurricane
    after our conversation on Sunday, I though you were talking about a different kind of evacuation
