The good, the bad and the ugly.

Ha! Just found how to write here on the iPad. I'm a bit slow but I get there in the end. Now. Do I have anything to say? Not a lot. Except that Gizmo is less wheezy... That's the good news.

The bad is that the gun law in Scotland is nuts. It may not be enough that someone is unstable, inclined to make death threats, break car windows, throw rocks and so on to stop them owning a shotgun. They have to have been seen misusing a shotgun. How does that look? Waving it around?

This is personal. My daughter and grandson are called as witnesses next week. Her troublesome ex is attempting to overturn the decision made by the Chief Constable of this region to take his licence away after he (the ex) made threats against my daughter and her partner in the presence of his son. Great parenting! It's going to be traumatic enough for them both -especially for the sandman of course, though I know his mum is dreading the thought too - without the possibility of an unsatisfactory outcome.

And it's right in the middle of the Common Entrance exams. The uncaring father who has brought the case won't give a tinker's cuss about that of course.

The police have thirteen witnesses, which is a relief as it isn't only our family statements that will count, but it's going to be a very long day.
