Pre-voyage tension

Almost forgot to update this, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, looking forward to a couple of weeks holiday!

Yes, this is a month of 31 days, and this one has dragged a bit, not had a lot of days off work, in fact the least number I will have this year I think. Not been a particularly physically challenging month, managed about 3 or four walks to Kirkcaldy and one to Aberdour, so no long distance extravaganzas, in fact it's really been months since I did. This has to change, need to get back to my usual self, as I just feel in a permanent rut.

Under a certain amount at pressure at work after another supervisor got herself signed off for 3 weeks or so, it's been hectic in a lot of days, and have been working weekends a lot, am doing this coming one too. So glad that I will be chilling for 2 weeks come Wednesday. Yes, a voyage to the new world awaits, let's see how it goes! This could be the start of the new globe-trotting Alan!

Sorry, nothing else of major excitement happened this month, my dad is back at home now, unable to speak of course, but as well as could be expected, his radiotherapy treatment starts in about 3 weeks or so. Was along his cutting the grass the other day.

Lots of packing to do for the trip I will update you on next time, shame I am working the weekend, have only one day, the Friday off, before I go, and that day will be car-less due to a service/mot.

Here a couple of pictures of the booze brothers on top of the Binn, on the way to Aberdour, where I would-as usual-heroically buy all the roonds. Tavis is pointing to the bar in Burntisland where he last bought me a drink, think it was the same night the Berlin Wall come down.

Volunteer

How could I forget my beach clean volunteer work in April? Here I am next to an SNP MSP and a couple of neighbours, he had put this on his twitter for publicity, his camera obviously.  I do this now and again, doesn't take a lot of time, plan to vote any unionist party in the upcoming elections..
