In Spite of Scottish Football..........

Watching Scotland play football and a double dose of chemo seem to have a similar effect on the Macfarlane psyche......Not good ! Both create a swamp of despair that can only be imagined by those of us who are not afflicted with the blight of sporting passions.
It is fortunate that his viewing of Sky Sport is limited to invitation only. God forbid that he should install a dish at home - present company excepted, of course. As the guest of fellow masochists he is assured of their collusion in the perpetration of primitive first aid Self inflicted psychological injuries are treated in time honored tradition - huge therapeutic doses of Ardbeg and stovies. The healing qualities of both make a formidable combination. Have the British Medical Council been told about this ?
So in spite of dire Scottish football, energy is returning, slowly and surely. His wife, on the other hand is a martyr to the dubious comedy from his slagging tongue as it regains some of its former whiplash wit.
