Hello and welcome to part 31 of this blog, i thought i would just add wee bit to start as i am working 4 days in a row so will find it hard this week it add to the blog until Friday but i shall try. Today at work was a bit wearying as their is a lot going on and it is not nice it is been going on to long and the powered that be need to get it sorted and unfortunately that is all i can really say. Helen has decided she needs a night in her bed as she has been feeling a bit sick today so she took a tablet and went back to her kip and hopefully this will help her a bit well a good bit. So tonight i am just watching tv for while but will be an early night. The photo above is on Prince Edward Island I’ve kept saying i will put up some stuff about me being away and hopefully that will happen soon.

Their is a blog i think i have said on my trip to Everest it is not the best blog but their is plenty of great photos of the trek. But i never did one about my trip to Peru so this will be a perfect opportunity mmm well what i can remember of it. But for now i will stop here as i just wanted to get it started.

Well another mixed up day at work, in Perth most of the day then back of 1 told I was needed in Dundee which all I can say was nonsense as when I got there I was tripping over staff and basically I did very little as their was that many. Enough about that though as I am now back home showered yea has been done and I am now sitting trying to stay awake. Have to say though this week I’ve been a bit fed up especially with work and can’t wait for the wknd and away for three days, no wonder I feel bad he days fly in as every day at work all I say is let’s get this day over with. Really I wish I was in the mountains or on bike in the country or just out for drive with Helen with no thoughts about work.

Hello and after what’s been another poor day at work yesterday I have woken up today feeling bit weary and a bit blah but today at work has started well so hopefully it will continue well it’s my last day and am so looking forward to getting away. Last nights drive home was nice though as it was a full moon and managed to capture it with my iPhone amazing camera really.
And even the drive into Perth this morning the moon 🌝 was still high and full, it was cold and just a great autumn morning and if I was off I most definitely be out most of the day walking and cycling. So break over now back into the unit. Day going well now on lunch break and will be back to the unit soon, spoke to Helen she is going to get steroids for few days to see if it gives her a wee boost for our wknd away here is hoping it does as she needs a break from all that’s going on. Me I just need a good nights sleep 😴
This afternoon not been the best been busy but seems to be settling now and about to have an afternoon cuppa and am hoping that is it settled down until patients start coming off, also looking forward to the moment someone tells me I can go home and then a good few days off.
This is the hermitage near Dunkeld amazing place especially this day few years ago when it was so cold the waterfall froze it was stunning and one of the reasons I love winter 🥶 I love getting up in the morning especially if it still dark and looking out the window seeing frost and it sparkling or even the snow when you get that blue kind of light in a dark room, getting out and just walking and everything is quiet even better if the snow is still falling.

Well hello Friday, I have had breakfast and packed stuff for our weekend away and as we’re not leaving until the back of 1 I decided to go out and finish cementing slabs and few other repairs, all that needs done now is the weeding cover cut back and that will be it hopefully once I get lights then it should look good.
So time to lock everything up and that will be it until we’re back on Monday, so glad I am off until Wednesday though as it’s been full on at work but I’m sure the days will fly in can’t believe we’re near end of October but as I say it is what it is buckle down and enjoy life.
So we have arrived at out hotel ans our room is great with some fantastic views, i have not been able to go out for a walk as yet as we arrived a bit late and i had to go and nip into to Stanley and get a few supplies as the restaurant is fully booked for tonight and it looks like Kenny and Valero are going to get here a bit later and I think they will just want to chill tonight. I dis manage a couple of pictures one is the view from our room and the other is of some supplies.
Ha ha yes i also bought food, the place just what is needed we have a river to look at and it is surrounded by trees which are beginning to turn a lovely colour as you can see from the next two photos, oh and we have also seen some deer.
Hopefully as this weekends blog goes on i will have more photos to post once i get out walking and even if lucky a nice sunset as well but yes as i say a much needed break with two of the best people in the world and i really cant wait to see them. I have found the last few weeks at work very hard every day seems busier and it goes in so quick, i am glad we are here especially for Helen who just needs time away to relax and forget about hospitals so i am going top do my best not to mention work this weekend.

Saturday has been a fine day here as we headed out after a good breakfast, our first mission was to find a place to eat as the hotels menu was £55 for five courses and their was no other option which i find a bit weird for a hotel so we cancelled our table and after a bit of a search we are going to the strath in Stanley which although looks bit rough on the outside it is really nice inside and gets good reviews. We headed. To Perth for a while as Val had never been before couple of new shops opened there but still lot of unused plots, but before this me a ken had a walk around the gardens which was nice.
So all in all not to bad a day had a small bite to eat at Hinterland in Perth which was nice and then just a walk round before we headed back to the hotel and a wee chill before we head out tonight for a bite to eat and maybe a few beers as well, great being out with Val and Ken again and we are basically here to chill our socks off.

Well what a start to the day poor Val was stuck in bed as her back had gone so it was myself Helen and Keny for breakfast but the staff in the hotel made up a breakfast for Ken to take up to Val which was very good of them. Yesterday’s meal at the strath was excellent so good we are going back tonight, the hotels menu is a set 5 course meal at the cost of £55 you get no choice but to have this which to me is a bit strange and they must lose a lot of custom I mean we’re here 3 nights so that would be £55 a night each and yet our meal yesterday cost us the four of us £60 including drinks as well, the guy who owns the bar told us he gets a lot of their customers as they feel it is to much. Anyway I am out for a walk and just made it back and under a canopy before the heavens opened and it was torrential for about ten minutes and now the sun is out man I love Scotland 🏴. Good walk but surprisingly not much wildlife.
The first picture is of geese flying probably to warmer climes, now may have another ten twenty minute walk as back is a bit sore with beds being soft.
Yes another old building found on the path to Stanley which became waterlogged about a mile in. It is nearly 1400hrs and Val is still asleep so we are going to go and see if we can find a place to have a coffee and cake mmm this could be interesting, we drove yesterday and never saw much on the road down but well we have tine so lets try.
So just back from coffee and cake and me and Kenny headed out for another walk and managed to get some more good photos, it is a strange place as we were expecting to see lots of wildlife but we hardly saw any and at one point commented on the fact that you could not here any birds chirping it was just quiet, but it was good wee walk just under 3miles and as always with Kenny some great banter I’ve always wished I stayed closer to them sop we could all see each other more.
So we are off to the same place tonight for a bite to eat i am going to drive us down so Kenny can have a beer or two, but all in all it has been a good day nice just to chill and have walks in the forest some big trees here as well.
Kenny taking a photo of one of the trees think you can tell how big it is by the way he is taking photo. So as for this weeks blog i come to and end will let you know how tonight goes when i start next weeks. As always if your reading this thank you and until part 32 BYEEEEE
