Thursday p.m., now on the bus heading for the Mercat Bar and tonight's wine tasting session. This one is South African wines and when in town this morning I collected some of the food specifically for this meal - should be interesting !!
Not an awful lot doing today, just taking in this sunshine which is much needed, although at this rate we will be getting hose pipe bans, etc, soon.
Not sure what is happening at the Glencorse Army Barracks, where during the past two days we have had lots of activity with two helicopters buzzing about - the unusual thing being that one is a big Chinook, quite spectacular to see. Just reminded me that last Sunday morning, very early we saw the local hot air balloon taking off from the Bush Estate - it is very majestic rising up on a quiet Sunday morning and all you can hear is the roar of the burner every few minutes.
This bus is very quiet, makes a change not being mopped by all the High School kids heading home.
Spoke with Sparky Mark, he is not a happy chappie, having to work ( a rare event) in the Gyle area of Edinburgh, but cannot get moving due to all the traffic jams caused by folks heading to and from the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston. With this nice weather the place will be mobbed - and I believe that Princess Margaret was going there today.
Tennis and Mr Andy Murray is due to start his game on Centre Court shortly,we wish him well - one of the big time gamblers was on the radio last night and reckoned he will not win it this year, but will go on to win the US Open in New York !! and this bloke makes lots of money. As does Andy Murray who is now well up inhis match at the moment, leading by two sets.
There is most certainly developments with the tram works - we now have the biggest hole ever outside the pub while the rest of the street is being filled in - perhaps they have taken a tantrum due to the article that was in the paper recently.
Had a nice E mail, from Benny, who was our guide during our visit to China last year, lovely to hear from him, he was such a nice person. He says that things are a bit quieter for him, and many people have been put of by the swine flu, although he has been going further afield with his groups as some of the local border restrictions have been easing off.
On the bus and now coming along George Street, it was heaving with traffic, buses nose to tail, literally dozens of them - and they claim that the trams will ease the congestion - no way. Just passed through St Andrew's Square, and now opposite the Cafe Andaluz where Ailsa @ Miss Talk a Lot works, busy little tapas bar.
Not sure what is happening , but I have now been sat down to a breakfast !!! at 7.30 p.m. so that the young lady who is making the new video of the Mercat can update some shots - am I complaining !! - certainly not , if they give me a Clansman.
Enough for the moment - Sparky mark has appeared, having managed to escape the traffic chaos at the Gogar Roundabout
