Rollercoaster

We all have plenty of ups and downs as parents and last night we intended just to "chill out" on one of those highs with the news that Ben had successfully completed six years of study (his five year medical training was broken with a separate one year course in Denmark).

But we were soon tumbling down the other side of the rollercoaster again with news of a family illness on which I'll report later.

There were two things of note when I was out running earlier. Its another windy day on the Isle of Man and  more and more of the infrastructure for the TT is being put in place. The TT signage is in competition with election adverts around here - its only 24 hours (and a few minutes) until the polls open for the Douglas West bye-election.
