It's been a while and I guess you could say I've settled back in now to my life at RBS and in Edinburgh! School is into its last two weeks now and you can feel the buzz of excitement. End of term concerts, outings and just general summer time joys. Only hitch is the weather which seems to think that April temperatures are ok for June... NOT! We had an outing to North Berwick last week which was a lot of fun but the wind blew. We visited the local fish and chip shop and were glad to be indoors.
Ali is now home for the summer which is nice and frantically searching for a job, so if anyone out there has a vacancy for an able 18 year old, do get in touch.
My eyes were playing up this week, since Saturday, by the time evening comes around I've felt as if I had a rock in my right one so today visited the GP who sent me to the eye pavilion who had a vacant slot so long as I made it within 30 minutes... I did. It looks as if it is just dry eyes though so I've some lubricant drops to try and see if they fix it. In the process though, as well as having my eye lid rolled out the way over a swab, ouch!, I had some drops put in which react and turn the eye fluid bright yellow... it is not recommended that one visit the supermarket on the way home unless one wishes to be mistaken for Hannibal!
Noticed that my local petrol station, not Shel but Ess, has run out of all fuel! Thought Shel was the problem and that they were back to work. Colin has realised that it is costing him less than half the cost of driving to get a train down at the weekends just now so has booked things up for the next few weeks and will leave the car in Aberdeen.

Hi Sal
Just to let you know some of us are still reading the blog. It reminds me of my visits to the eye pavilion in 1989. I got the yellow eye treatment and the lubricant drops. Watch out if they offer you cream instead. It's like putting vaseline in your eyes. It cetainly worked but I could scarcely open my eyes and could hardly see through the smear when I did get them open. I realise this was the same year you started at RBS, you went on Cursillo and Ali was born. How time flies.
With love
Colin
