Hi... I know it's been a while since my last entry, but I've had a pretty crap few weeks, truth be told.
Dad's been moved to another ward in the hospital now, and physically he's still slowly getting stronger... but, mentally, things aren't really progressing that well. We kind of hoped that the confusion he suffered after his fall would have lessened by now, but he's still not completely aware of where he is, or why he's there. And that's been over 2 months now.
Added to that the fact that my auntie (Dad's sister) has really been very poorly since about Christmas, and about the time my blogging stopped, we were told by the surgeon to prepare ourselves for the end. But, mercifully, surgeons can be wrong, and she's now getting stronger once again. She's in the same bit of the hospital as Dad, so at least they've each got a familiar face around, and there's nothing like a bit of sibling rivalry to egg you on to recovery.
And then there's the fact that I've been spending more and more time down in our shop supervising the new girl for the last couple of weeks... while my workload in the office continues to pile up, and the boss continues to harrass me... and continues to send me down to the bloody shop, so my workload at the office continues... You get the picture!
So, all that has combined to make blogging more of a chore than a pleasure recently, and so I've just given it a miss for a while. But I'm sort of half back, and I'll try and make a bit more effort now.
That said, I'm off to bed because I'm working tomorrow... ahem, later today...

Oy highland lassy, tell the boss to watch out for the shadow that moves in the dead of the night. The undead is on his trail.
