Had a wee sleep after my long run, then up and away on the big bus into town - and made it to the Edinburgh masonic Club where a young friend, Robert was about to join Lodge No 151 The Edinburgh Defensive Band. Met Robert and was joined by the "twa Archies", Old Archie and Young Archie, who work with Robert. A few well kent (known) faces, Mr Mills, Mr. Leitch, etc - and a group of visiting Freemasons from the State of Colorado, USA.
Dougie, of the Burger van at Gilmerton, was in fine fettle - with the lads mega impressed that I had treated Mrs. B. to lunch at his van ages ago, not only that, one of his customers genuinely does arrive by helicopter !! Granted he owns the business next door and has a heli pad there.
A well worked Degree and that was the young lad through his 1st, and calmed down, so he is now looking forward to his next meeting.
As you will have seen from the previous blog we had a run in with NCP on our way home, having had to go back via The Mercat Bar, where Sam the joiner was working hard, and late on the new feature wall.
Pleasant surprise this morning, had a message on the E mail from Friends Reunited, a site which I have not looked at for months, so out of curiosity I took time to open it up and go on the site to discover that one of my friends from Currie School, (Leonard Donaldson) had popped up on the site . This goes back a long , long time, about 1957 - 62, and then in 63 I left to go and work in Durham. We met occasionally when I came home, but then we lost touch - so it looks as though he is living in France - I will wait and see if we do make contact.
Really sad, this story of the accident and apparent very serious injury incurred by Natasha Richardson, the actress, while taking a skiing lesson in Canada - brings back memories of Mrs. B.'s situation fifteen months ago - so we wish her well and hope for a speedy recovery.
