Headed off at 9 15 yesterday a.m. and went went into Photogenix at Bonnyrigg to see Grant for a wee while before picking up a friend for the meeting. Grant still has his bad back and has been trying acupuncture to ease the pain - novel approach, but for pain anything that works is a bonus.
Collected friend Alex and we headed down to Musselbugh, via Whitecraigs and it was interesting to see the progress being made on the new A68 Dalkeith By Pass, it is getting on well.
Into the premises of Lodge Fisherrow 112, opposite the Old Links Golf course (oldest in Scotland) and the Musselburgh Race Course , where the Provincial Grand Conclave of East Scotland ( Order of the Secret Monitors ) was meeting. The OSM 's date back to 1887 - There was a good number in attendance, from Jersey; Yorkshire; Lancashire; Durham ; Inverness; literally all over the UK being represented. Lawrence Reed was in the chair as usual.
The meeting / Installation was interesting followed by a meal where I was sat with three "youngsters" from Perth and Dundee ( ages 80 ; 81 and 84 !!! ) who kept me on my toes. One being a more than active "silver surfer".
This was a good time to socialise with some interesting chaps from all over the place - some I will be meeting up with soon at Dufftown, and elsewhere.
By the time everyone left and I managed to drag my friend away , take him home it was 5 p.m. when I reached Penicuik to get sorted for the rest of the days adventures.
