Molly old buggered lungs Oban

Hello dear reader, not been the best of months as was ill from the new year for about 3 weeks, what I thought was a head cold went into my lungs and a course of antibiotics from chemist didn't clear it, so actually got a Dr appointment and was given stronger drugs, which has been mostly successful as lungs much better now. Was off work too, so not all bad. I think my main health issue has become insomnia, basically waking up in middle of night then being unable to sleep again, my use of games on my phone (have a Royal Kingdom team and also a Golf Clash one) is taking too much of my time up and is taking away relaxing time. 

Added to this is family stress, my father's will is causing a lot of stress, especially as he left a will not designed for harmony, most unlike him, yeah sarcasm there. I will not go into details on this forum, but money brings out the worst in people, the very worst.  You think you know people, but then they are only out for themselves by being devious and manipulative. Disappointing for sure. 

Looked after Molly the dachshund again for a couple of days, she is no problem, just got to keep an eye out that you don't step on her in such a small flat!

To try to destress we went to Oban for a couple of nights, only got back a couple of hours ago. A nice place, but a bit cold to undertake trips to the islands, instead the local pubs and restaurants were visited. Had meant to do the distillery tour, but didn't get round to it this time, will certainly go back when weather is warmer. 

Yes, I am now even older than I was, have resigned myself to being an old duffer now, got the flat cap and everything. You find people who you think ancient are not that much older than you, oh well, better than being deid I suppose. 

As always, here a couple of photos taken this month, two featuring my gorgeous pus, the other is from the ruins of cottages at the Rodanbraes, not far from Kinghorn Loch, if the walls could talk..

Oh, I made my steps target yesterday, no runs at all this month though, my lungs just weren't having it. Hope the rest of the year gets better.
