Rainbows in the Puddles.
Mike slept under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning Macfarlane, on steroid induced apetite high, felt compelled to indulge all three of us with his culinary delights. A breakfast of Bucks Fizz, French toast, bacon, blackpudding and potato scones was concocted. He only had to sit down once to recover from the exertions while we had to go and lie down for an hour to digest.
Helen and Euan came at Twelve with lovely presents and hugs.
Mike gave Euan a pigs a**e for Christmas which still makes us titter out loud.
Mac and Mags had a peaceful, much to be recommended, finger buffet-a- deux with the virtual Dorothy, Toto and the combined populations of Kansas and Munchkinland.
Afterwards, Carol's Taxi and Ironing service, with flawless efficiency organised us in our sartorial best and transported us to Morag's. There it was coffee, chocolates and presents with the Nisbet clan then home for an early night.
The Western Ward 4 staff continue to be wonderful each day, with friendly, efficient clinical support and trouble free blood tapping.
Emails, prayers, cards and candles - all the warmth pouring out from family and friends - combined to procure a wee glimpse of the rainbow, if not the Emerald City.
Can it last into the New Year ? Of course it can.
In the meantime ...........we'll click the heels of our DVT stockings and............
"Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the............"

Hi, I know I haven't been in touch but I think of you both often. Bobby and I send our love and hugs through cyberspace and with the way Bobby smells at this time of year, you're probably relieved! Take care, love Louise and Bobby dog xxx
hi it was great that you made it to morags on christmas day. Do you think Daniel appreciated the taste of Ardberg - have I spelt it right? Maybe yes maybe no.
That taxi driver is just wonderful, door to door and service with a smile. Wonder who she is?
Just keeping you up to date - sorry not got the ironng done yet -should be done by the end of the year!!
Cheers mi dears.
Mac certainly deserves his Triple Cross and Legion of Courage (Put 'em up! Put 'em uuuuuuuup!)and
he's always had a great big red clock (no! thats not a mispelling!)
But... I fear you'll have to hang on to your ruby slippers for a wee while yet,Mags. The Committeaum E Pluribis Unum are still out on the Doctor of Thinkology!!
Hugs and sprinkles - Glinda Glinda.
Hello there is that you there? Its me here! all this talk about "follow the yellow brick road" makes me think maybe I should get a picture of Kates sparkley red Dorothy shoes for your to publish. Think they may be a little too small for McFarlanes feet but maybe you could super impose them! What a thought. you`ll be glad to know that the man of no56 has done all your ironing. yes he`s had his hands on your knickers!
Cheers mi dears.
