Not sure if I am fully recovered yet - but from what ? managed a good sleep on Wednesday , no doubt the red wine - which was not so good (part poured down sink) and the Snow Goose whisky, all helped. Did not realise that the Snow Goose Whisky should be served from the freezer as it changes the complexity / taste completely. RGB was not amused when he came home and found me and Mike over the back drinking his tipple , which is not yet on the UK market, while watching the football, New Zealand v South Africa.
However, had a good sleep, um again with the larks, a few chores around the house and then went for a good swim and a session in the steam room. Much needed as i was all tight from the long drive.
This eventually led me to an 80 minute session with Cruella - who was happy as Larry !! No way was this going to be a relaxing massage - she found every knot in my back, shoulders, neck, and legs - more knots than a sailor's workroom , I was put through the mill - It seems that with the weather being so bad on Wednesday , and the van sitting high I was having to tense myself all the time to keep it under control, anyway I now feel much better.
Home, a wee snooze in the chair and it was changed , onto the 141 bus and down the Old Original Hotel, Roslin, for a "Gentleman's Dinner" along with about seventy members and guests of the South East of Scotland Licensed Trade Association ( S E S L T A ). All the usual hooligans were there and I was joined by Grant @ Photogenix, Gordon (Mr Peacock) , Sir Christopher, Andy our Chef, Alan , a Polis from Livingston, and four others at the table. The meal was very good, served by Mr Harris Junior and the team. RGB was chairing the evening in his Role as President of the S E S L T A , did his thing with his usual grace and humour and introduced the two speakers who were both comedians, one from Aberdeen and the other from Tranent ( obviously wearing the yellow shirt). Both were excellent, different styles completely , and the place was in an uproar - superb entertainment.
Anyway , a good night was had my all and it was up the road and a collapse into the old scratcher.
Heading off to the Mercat Bar shortly , then a meeting at 2.30 p.m. of Supreme Royal Arch Chapter, Freemason's Hall , George Street, so that will keep me out of mischief.
There is a big lump of dead trout defrosing on the bunker - so it looks like we will be having one of Sparky Mark's catches for dinner tonight.
