The Grand Old Duke of York

"....and when they were up they were up, and when they were down they were down......."
We are rarely in that now enviable state of being neither up nor down. With magnificent effort Macfarlane has polished his spirits to a near normal - if not quite Medallion Man - shine. On the other hand Jeannie has suffered a bit of a setback. Back in intensive care, her condition is being constantly monitored. If only the "Ardbeg effect" would work for her we could all stop worrying.
Perhaps a surrogate dram or two will do the trick. Slainte !.
