Hi Mike,
Spoke to A&E via video link, as it was a 12-14 Hr wait to be seen.
They are happy with my cleaning and treatment at home.
They sent some more dressings via the District Nurse, and it's all getting better

Thank you Cherry and Gerard for the hospitality, it was wonderful
The 'remains' ....
Lightweights eh
Left Kirkinch this morning after a lovely breakfast and headed south, now ensconced on the Caravan & Camping Club site at Moffat.
Good pals Sue and Dave Smout arrived not long after me. Their little red Camper in the far distance. 'Miss Milly' and 'Chocky' came to me from him, with an eight year old retiring Black and Tan Cocker hopefully coming to me the end of January via Dave
The A701 from Tweedsmuir over the tops and down in to Moffat was fraught. Covered in snow and ice and not gritted it was slippery!
An excellent meal with Sue and Dave in The Balmoral with a couple of pints of excellent Guinness rounded the evening off nicely
Probably head for home tomorrow to see if my ol' house has survived the freezing temperatures

Fingers well and truly crossed for the lil’ black and tan Micky
Here is a picture of the only bottle of whisky I own, it was given to me in 2000 as a Christmas gift,
A 36 year old single malt, lovely
Ah, that will have gone off by now. You should have brought it up to Strontian, I have a disposal unit that can recycle it for you.
Maybe if you come to Kelso then Micky, Mike and myself will work something out. No need to thank us, just another example of the generosity found on this site.
I imagine this pic is exactly as it appeared to the photographer at the time...
