Sunday 1st out of sequence

Doing Sunday before I write up on Saturdays adventures.

In early this morning to The Mercar Bar at 7.10 a.m. to open up and had a group of 8 in for breakfast at 8.15 a.m. shortly followed by a slightly subdued goup of 12 young ladies on a hen weekend. I was working with Jamie ( in a grumpy mood, Du Hy - Happy as ever - but forever off to move his bowels, Shereen and Lorriane with Sir Graham and Sir Christopher as laid back back up.

Later on we had 12 chaps from the Clontarf GAA, Gaelich football team from Dublin - who started to disrobe causing Shereen to panic a wee bit, however unlike the infamous Cod, they kept their pants on and were really good humoured. They were over in Edinburgh to play a game of Gaelich football against a team from one of the Irish teams in Edinburgh. They have their own web site on ClontarfGaa.Com .

We were busy most of the day till I left and went out via the Edinburgh Bowling Club, which was founded in 1848 and is either the oldest or 2nd oldest bowling club in Edinburgh, however, the grounds are owned by the Royal Company of Archers ( building on the end of the green) but as they are in financial hardship they are selling off the club and green which will redevloped by the University of Edinburgh as Student acommodation. The event today was Ian Millar's family part of his retirement doo so I took him his photo from Friday's session.

Had a nice wee call today from Beth Lindley, my friend from old Princess Trust days who has now moved to Barnsley, Yorkshire with her family. Like myself she is now closer to the family than ever.
Sparky Mark arrived this evening and we fixed a dripping kitchen tap - bit of an event as this has only taken 18 months to fix

Sandra and William on the phone, looking forward to our visit on Wedneday for the weekend, but in the meantime I am of early doors for a days work in Harrow.

I still have a days report for Saturday - which was a day out with the Knights Templars to Nunraw Abbey - so we will see howI get on later.
