Just a trifle wabbit !!

Last night sort of kept on going - I stayed in The Mercat and met Sandra and Gordon on thir return from The Cavelry Club - so I eventually ran them homwe and had a cuppa and shortbread - nice - before heading off to Currie in search of Mrs. B. - Cut a long story short I eventually got home and into bed at 2.45 a.m. - ( a long day).

Bells ringing in y head - no - it was the front door at 8.30 a.m,. as our beloved postie delivered a registered letter - having got up - Ann then stayued up and headed off down the sleep leaving me to slumber - but NO - too much to expect as i had three calls from one of her friends wanting to talk.

Eventually got up - washed and out to meet up with Grant and we headed over to the meeting of St. Bernard de Clairveaux, which turned out to be a facinating lecture by a writer of masonic history - just excellent and informative. There were several guests present for the lecture including the Abbot from Nunraw Abbey. Quite an interesting we aside about the "Blue Blanket" and its appearance in Jerusalem during the first Crusades (1096 - 1099)- there is a pub in Edinburgh called the Blue Blanket, near to the "St. John's Cross" set into the pavement near to the bottom of The Royal Mile, Edinburgh.

Left at 4.05 p.m., popped into 720 at Bonnyrigg then home to get the feet up - taking a call en route from "Big" Karen at Musselburgh , who is back again after her sojourn in Benidorm.

Looking at todays news I see that Mr. George is now free from prison - so "Who did kill Jill Dando?" looks to me as though our prisons are full of innocent people.

In the Scottish Daily Record today there was an article on The Barony Hotel at Eddleston where we attended the wedding last weekend. Todays photo is of the inscription above the front door " Prepare to meet thy God" I have no idea what this signifies at all. At first I read God as Doom - just thinking of the poor blokes heading in there to get married. Barony Casle, or as was The Black barony Castle was built in 1536 and I think associated with Sir Alexander Murray - whose family sold it in around 1926. There are references to both a Black Barony and a White Barony who were land owners in this area.

Now - having a quiet night , ready for Sunday , the rest of the week, including visits to nurses, Hospital and back south to Runcorn again on Thursday.
