4.a.m. once again , and no doubt tomorrow when I need to get up then I will sleep in. Mrs B also wide awake, butterflies in the head for both of us - the sooner this mess with Edinburgh City Council gets sorted , the better. But I did eventually doze off and recharge the batteries.
Up and away, very bright morning - even the recycling blokes were out sharp as I missed their weekly collection.
Dropped Mrs B off at her friends as the two were away to storm up the M9 to Stirling , have lunch and do some business there. Being near at hand I headed up to SAC at KB and had a wander and talk to some of the staff. Even spotted a monkey on the back of a lorry !!! Possibly a new form of reversing warning indicator.
On to the Mercat for a quick visit but met two nice couples from the USA in for lunch , being dressed in No 3 suit they said I was the best dressed waiter they had seen in Scotland. They were from San Francisco and North Carolina, the couple from North Carolina had moved rather be sitting on the San Andreas Fault when California slid into the sea.
Had a good meeting with the Head of HR at Edinburgh City Council, just shows what can be achieved by a face to face. The same applied when I went along and sought out the boss of the Tramworks, he was very helpful, had a long chat and sent out someone from Logistics to explain what was going on with a follow up to be had from Customer Services - things are bad enough, but not as bad as we though - no second phase here on the other side of the road, but we will have another couple of months of disruption.
In Market Street watched the beloved traffic wardens in action, car in front of me was 30 minutes over his time so he got ticketed, but the one three cars along was in the wrong place so he was lifted, up up and away - big bill for someone.
Home, garden again while the sun was shining and now heading off to the last of our official R.A. meetings for this part of the session, Esk 42 at Dalkeith and along with Sparky Mark, and Provincial of course.
Up sharp and off to Runcorn once again a.m. so another long day ahead.
