Buckster Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I had a good ride out, headed over the bridge to the kingdom of Fife and then the old Kincardine bridge and towards Stirling before turning and travelling towards St. Andrews along the southern edge of the Ochils range. Then headed back. I must try to remember to put the Gopro on. Anyway here is a picture from the abandoned Sauchie Tower, Pete would have creamed his pants. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Looking at my pictures, I think my photography skills are outlandishly good these days, it’s only a matter of time before I get international recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 About to head back to the UK. Not looking forward to it, the solar installation isn't going smoothly, both of my sons are behaving like incompetent teenagers (even though ones 21 in a couple of weeks and the others 22), I have a pile of jobs waiting for me that are all demanding and now one of the guys is quite unwell and unlikely to be fit enough to work tomoz. For some unfathomable reason I now have Annie Lennox 'Thorn In My Side' stuck in my head Run away from you Was all that I could do Run run run run 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently waiting for compensation for a Permit drawing set I did for a local guy here....amazing that I moved 300 miles away & drawing business still comes & finds me. (2) motorcycles to assemble....2nd truck needs a fuel pump....work bench is still waiting for me to assemble the drill press I have....then I can finish my Ski's! This weather we're experiencing right now....perfect for the never-ending yard work....but NOT before I get a Ride in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all use independent systems with unique identifiers like barcodes for confidentiality. The trust I worked for used three different systems that were unconnected. Our local trust also has three completely different systems. Even when you had the person in front of you, name, address, DOB sometimes you still couldn’t find them on the system. It’s why the NHS can’t move away from paper, it’s a jumbled mess. Some of the GP services are linked but the NHS spent 6 million on a connected system that was abandoned and under investigation for wasting money!! If you knew the which GP practice group they belonged to you might be able to do it that way but basically the taxman is the only person with any reliable access. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I want to get a fix on where he is without him knowing.......cos I don't want to go in blind. I've been hunting since I came to Spain......no traces on search engines, social media, court listings, death notices etc. It's like him and the other two have disappeared off the face of the earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
