Yes, I only just found out from NFDad when I was chatting to him today. I do remember very clearly that Grandad *never* talked about the war.

Good NFDad news. Feeling well, and might get out of hospital this week!

Spoken to NFDad. He's home and well. Such a relief after months of anxiety.

So very many thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I haven't had time to thank you individually.
Had the best birthday party ever last night.
NFDad has arrived, so we're catching up.
Best wishes to everyone for a very fine day.

This was hilarious. Sentences you never expected anyone to say.

#NFDad This evening, we ordered a large pepperoni pizza for dinner, and at one point Sis wanted Dad to read something, and he took his glasses up from their lanyard and put them on. Then there was a moment of consternation on his face and he took the glasses off again, and exclaimed: >>

NFDad and NFSis arrive at 14:15, so they should be with me around 16:00. Very exciting. It's been several years since I've seen them both.
Excited!
Very best wishes to all for a fine day!

Haven't mentioned #NFDad in a while, so just so's you know.
He's back in his cave living his best life with his rocks, and it's such an inestimable joy that he's back to balanced and normal.

#NFDad and Sis and I spent yesterday catching up with stuff and enjoying each other's company. It was lovely - we really don't get many opportunities to do this.
Not sure what's on today. Maybe a trip to the centre.
Very best wishes to you all for a fantastic Friday!

I showed this to #NFDad this morning. Just the image, without the caption. And asked him where it was. He named it correctly in about 5 seconds.
The first proper view of Liathach as one travels down Glen Torridon never fails to impress. Photo:Yesterday morning.

Oh dear. Unfortunately, #NFDad has fallen right down the LLM rabbit hole and is believing every damn thing Gemini says to him.
Y'know, if he would just listen to me, he would've been immune.
I'm feeling rather worse than useless at the moment.

Just had a chat with NFDad. He's been reading up on vertical farming, floating cities, and various climate-related things.
He also went down a research rabbit hole about why lemons float but limes don't.
You can probably see where I get it from.

To continue the good news thread.
It's all confirmed. NFSis and NFDad are arriving on the 17th, car hired, and staying in the one of the flats next door. They're staying till the 21st.
I wonder if I can get the boys to come…

Interesting. NFDad has always worried about Alzheimer's, but he's nigh on 87 and *very* mentally sharp.
"People who stay mentally sharp well into their 80s and beyond often have identified key genetic differences that may help explain their resilience to Alzheimer’s disease"
Scientists make "striking finding" about super agers
'Super agers' are those aged 80+ who have cognitive abilities similar to people who are 20–30 years younger.

In fact, the woman who answered my question about coffee said I can drink, and I quote, "everything". Which is excellent news because I have nearly 3 bottles of 10-year-old Talisker at home that I really need to get to work on.
Haven't had any since #NFDad and #NFSis were here.

#NFDad has given me a wonderful birthday present. He noticed that I was forever swearing at my phone, and said he'd get me a new one that does what I want it to.
So, I've got a Fairphone 6 with the /e/ OS.
I think that'll see me out.

Oh, and everything's arranged for next week. No lessons. NFDad said I should spoil myself, but I'm afraid even that idea feels futile.
