It's been a busy couple of days with some serious visiting done and stuff tackled that has lain in my "in-box" for some time! I'm convinced that the hynotherapy has done the job for me, for now at least. Even did a "dad" visit today, and managed, somehow to get him back to bed. Normally that would upset me, but I managed to detach sufficiently and even left the building with a smile and a word for some of the other residents in the sheltered housing complex. That's progress.

Tomorrow my diary is full, then on Thursday we have Fr Jimmy Cole and his wife Matilda coming to stay with us for a week. That's going to be a busy time, too, as we want to give Fr Jimmy as positive an experience of Scotland and the Scottish Episcopal Church as possible. In the middle of his visit I go back to the doc to see how my "time off" has benefitted me! I wonder if he'll extend my sickline?
