Get Well Jock Scot from your friends at XMTS

[vmac3205]

Well here I am, another week gone by and I am still here! Not the best of weeks for old Jock in truth, you know the thing, one step forward and then one step back. I suppose that is going to be the way for a while yet. Thank you for all your messages and I am delighted to see the picture of Jamie taking all those hats of his to, I assume, the bin.

I am trying to lull the guards into a false sense of well being at the moment, I did have a spot of bother with the Camp Commandant which seemed to cause a bit of a stir, but on the whole the escape plans a coming along well. All being well, the escape is planned for sometime during the second or third week of July, depending on the condition of the moon.

It looks as though Annie and I are moving house! I have never done that before! We are moving to a modern cottage, near the river, which has no draughts,no dust,no leaks, it has double glazing , central heating that works and only five bedrooms. My sons are taking over the business and are moving into the various houses dotted around the country and one of them is moving into our old house. I am delighted and I wish them well in whatever they decide to do in the future.

I am a master at preventing goal escapes. which probably makes me pretty good at planning them. At least I know what to look for. If yu need any help. I'm jut a key board click away. Continue your recovery and be kind to the caretakers. Enjoy the new digs. Moving house is always exciting.

Great news Jock, hope everything works out for you and your family.
Kind wishes.

Glad to hear you are on the mend and hope the escape plan works by mid-July. I will be thinking of you as I spend next week in pursuit of salmon on the Dee and hope it won't be too long before you are able to do the same. I was even thinking of getting one of those pith helmets in case the sun appears briefly. Not really - just taking the "pith".

Being on the mend can try the patience of a Saint but try not to stir the Commandant too much lest the escape plan be compromised.

Here's hoping that you both have smooth sailing for the remainder of your confinement and for the big move ahead.

best regards,
Ken

Why do I keep hearing the music from "The Great Escape" running through my head.

I'm left to think 'trash bags! Trash bags!"

(I sure hope that doesn't go over anyones head)

So glad to read all the updates, Mrs Jock, thanks for the story, it gave me a smile. I'm glad the "Team Jock" print has been well received. As for moving house, well it does happen from time to time, it sounds like the new residence will be at least more comfortable and possibly better for Jock which is all for the good.

[Panache]

Jock,

Glad you are thinking about your post hospital plans.

Your cottage sounds like a winner

Cheers

Jamie :ootd:

You didn't mention but dare it be so luxurious that it even has indoor plumbing?
