Obviously it meant first thing before lunch, but he's been, the machine is fine, the new memory has it's own fan and that's one less thing to worry about today.

That's great, Rik.  One down... 

[Rik]

Now two.

That 75 minute sit in the waiting room had me going, though. 

[Simon]

I bet!

I was near to my walkout point, but then I saw one of the nurses from CCU and had a chat - that helped.

a day of waits then... at least its over.

[Rik]

For the moment, anyway, Sam, but I'm frustrated that I now face another two months of testing, all of which should have been done by now.

[Simon]

That puts pay to any June holidays. 

[Rik]

Exactly. I was hoping to come back yesterday and book.

[Simon]

Well, if you want to avoid July / August, September can still be nice, and you'll still have the light evenings.

[Rik]

There's about 3 hours less light in the evenings by then.

[Simon]

In Scotland?  I thought it stayed lighter for longer up there.

[Rik]

It does, but the closer you get to the equinox, the less the difference. In late June/July, sunrise is about 4:12, sunset 22:23. By the beginning of September, that's become 6:23-20:02.
