Didn’t get a great night’s sleep, mainly due to only being able to sleep on my back. That, and the fact I have chronic wind after being “pumped up” with gas, for the surgery. One of the three wounds was bleeding in the night, but not too badly. I did get plenty of my current book read!
This morning I feel weak as a kitten, but I have an appetite and I am managing to get about not too badly. I am taking Co-codamol, and this morning I also took two Tramadol (they can be taken together).
Mr Bennett, my surgeon, says I don’t have to wait too long before I can drive again. Next week, he said, I can sit in the car and see if I can mimic an emergency stop. If I am comfortable enough doing that I can try short journeys, but no long trips until I build my strength back up.

"A Place Called Freedom" funnily enough. I started it years ago. but when it set the story in the mountains and glens of Fife, with Golden Eagles overhead I threw it in the bin.
At 522 Metres, West Lomond is the highest hill in Fife. However, after reading several other books of his, and thoroughly enjoying them, I decided to give it another try. I have no respect for authors who, especially in this day and age, cannot be arsed researching a location. I was a great fan of Clive Cussler until I read a book of his, set in Scotland. Except Scotland was HUGE. It took hours to travel short distances and the last straw was, when the action moved to Inverkeithing Station, it was the size of Edinburgh Waverley, not the two tracks and two platforms that Google Maps would have shown him. I finished the book then put it straight into the bin. When my wife said "What did you do that for?", I said, "I wouldn't inflict that book on another reader.".

Well. Jocko .. I don't know Scotland a lot. Just enjoyed the read ...I'm not a Purest in any sense of the word. For my sins .. I enjoy reading history in any form, especially working class. It's was my specific area of interest at University. As for putting in the bin ...well I just couldn't. 😱

I've been a fan of Jean Plaidy and had quite a collection, she writes historical novels mostly about royalty and its a lovely mix of fact and conjecture. I've no idea if it is geographically accurate though.

Over the past couple of days I've been catching up on the new series of Roots. Just checked out the plot for "A Place Called Freedom" and it looks like its about a different kind of slavery - didn't know it was so bad for miners in Scotland.

Normally geographic inaccuracy is not a huge thing, but when it is your own front door it makes a difference.
