Just logged into this blog , first time for a while and straight away a 2arning about the new EU data protection regs. Like millions of others I have been inundated over past few weeks with messages from all the companies I have allegedly subscribed to. Just gave me a chance to cancel a few, time to repeat the exercise already.
Masonic season has calmed down fo4 a few weeks, no more five nights a week and every other weekend for a couple of months. However with this tremendous spell of lovely weather and light evenings the garden has had a bit of a seeing to, before the normal 1st June deadline. OK, we might have a bit of fog in the mornings which clears away, but tha isn’t better than the us7al frost which kills off the bedding plants.
managed a few runs on the “Time Machine”. But I st8ll like my own machine, just like an old pair of slippers, so used to it after all these years. Need to keep my wits about me due to the potholes on the roads, however I have se3n a number of the so called Pothole teams out and about doing a useless job at patching the road. They are n3a4ly as bad as the lazy so and so,s who sit in their =and watching queues at their health and safety inspired zones around roadworks.
Mercat Grill has been busy as usual and next weekend , 2nd June is the Gin tasting and dinner, I wonder if I will be the designated driver, yet again.

BBC’s attack on Police Scotland
Cannot allow it to pass without comment, I , obviously did not support the formation of Police Scotland, but our SNP run government were hell bent on the formation. The former Legacy Forces were all doing well apart from Strathclyde which was a law unto itself.
BBC female reporter with big ego, reading a leaked report commissioned by the former chief Stephen House, obviously did have something worth delving into but decided at the end of the programme dto challenge the current Acting Chief Constable Iain Livingston about something which happened seventeen years ago, not really playing the game, and if he had been a criminal such exposure of events would have not been allowed. Police have a bad enough job to do, taking a hammering left right and centre , morale at an all time low, So from me they get nothing but support.
Today, stuck on the A720 City By Pass due to it being closed under the A702 at the Lothianburn Junction by an accident. Not a cheep out of our local Radio Station, Radio Forth, Or even BBC Traffic Station, Radio Forth are too busy trying to generate cash , rather than being the local news station, all the DJ,s need to do is fade the music a bit, read the quickie news and then get on with the show. And why? Why? Have the sent a DJ to Orlando to transmit the programme from there, nearly as bad as ITV in the morning with Andy Peters being paid to promote a quiz for a car and mega bucks from all over the World. Probably just me being ba humbug as usual.
And while at it, I did comment some time ago about these blokes who set up traffic lights at roadworks then sit in their van all day twiddling their thumbs, perfect example now on the A702 at the new roundabout under construction at Mauricewood , by Penicuik. That is two unproductive wages, cost of a vehicle, etc, every day they are there. No doubt blamed on the latest Health and Safety Regs foisted upon us by EU Jobsworths.
On a happier note, off to Peebles this evening where their Royal Arch Chapter is celebrating it’s Centenary with the new Supreme First Principle and a team from Supreme carrying out the ceremony. And as a wee fund raiser, a baked potato night at Tranent on Friday in aid of the Eastern District Order of the Eastern Star. Cheers.
