Michael

I realised that I still talk about Michael quite a lot, and wondered if you wanted to see some pictures of him....anyway I am posting them, so even if you are screaming NO! They are behind a cut, so you can skip!





This was taken about 20 years ago, how time flies, on a day out to the Lake of Menteith. The only Lake in Scotland. All the others are Lochs.

Why yes, he is tall, thin, and has lovely long artistic sensitive hands!


Gonna go off and have some food now!

Edit, the guy in the icon? That is Frank, an ex-workmate from when I worked at Glasgow University

My other half is a volunteer fireman/paramedic for our area so I get that.

Oh Michael passed the test that if there was a fire, and people were involed then his priority was to find the survivers. He got an award for it. Do you have that? Of course if no one was involved, and it was to fight the fire he did that as well, and if another fireman found someone, they did save them.

We don't have things like that. We have a volunteer department. They have ongoing training, etc. and carry pagers. If there's a fire the pager goes off and they all go to the dept to get the trucks and take off to fight the fire.

Believe me, there's been times when that pager has gone off at very inconvenient moments. LOL

Oh not like that for Michael. He was a full time fireman, not a volunteer, so he was at a station. If a fire was called in, then a full service was called out
