One thing after another.

Problem solving at the moment , made it home and have got back on line again , but for how long !! It is really strange, just cannot fathom it out.

I got home, via Bookers once again, and was as totally shattered, and ended up dozing off during the rugby so I missed the end of the Scotland - France game and the beginning of the England - Wales game, of the two, the Wales - England game was very exciting and I enjoyed it. The try for France which the referee gave was probably a forward pass, which he never saw and should really have called for a video replay. Mrs. B. seemed to think that the punching, kicking and stamping were not within the rules - so much for handbags at five paces.

We were supposed to be going out to the Esk 42 Valentine Social and Dance at Dalkeith No 10, but unfortunately there was no way I was up to it , especially with another early rise to work in the morning , home for the afternoon, then off to Runcorn late tomorrow night for Monday Morning. One thing for sure - I will need a holiday and Wednesday cannot come quick enough.

I now need to find time to get all the other wee jobs which are piling up done - and there are several, time to get some order and sense back into life - this bloody carry on with Edinburgh Council is more than taking its toll. Now forty four months but who is counting and inthe Council no bu**er cares.

Mrs. B. has either lost her phone or left it with the scary women last night - silly person , but she did get me a Valentime card and write her own customised verse "Roses are red, violets are blue, I like me but I do'nt like you!! Not true - really, and of course I had bought her a nice one, but no roses.

Pub was busy today with a lot of lunches and a number of Aberdeen supporters in for the Hearts - Aberdeen game which Hearts eventually won 2 -1 , so we had a visit from two Policemen , one being down from Aberdeen to keep an eye on his own locals - but they were OK with us.

Just had a call from Carolanne and Dennis in Dublin, her greyhounds are doing well - she is pleased, and might even be able to get a little cash back on awager - good one.

RGB and Jo Jo have just appeared after a long day - now having their late supper in the form of a TV dinner,!! but it is lovely, me having peanuts and them with their lovely grub.

We had a call from the Titanium Man @ Graham Briggs, formerly of Roslin, and Penicuik Rugby Club now living in Westchester , PA, USA , and running a franchise for "Snap On Tools". He and RGB played rugby together and also did Camp Counsellors USA at Hackettsown, New Jersey. He then met up with his lovely young wife Terri, got engaged, then married and his whole life changed. So two babies later , second home, etc - he is doing fine.

Now - for the second and third time - or is it the fourth !! Time to go, as said, up early again.
