So you want to look good naked ?

Just watching this programme on the TV with Mrs. B. - bit of a hoot , all these naked and semi naked folks - however I must admit that he does a world of good for the ones who are lucky enough to get on the show.

Into the pub this morning and found out much later on from Sir Christopher that I was not supposed to be there !!!! However , being a good parent - I ended up staying till 2 p.m. when we headed for home - ever so puggled. Ailsa @ " Miss talk a lot" called in for surprise visit and pot calling the kettle black, her mother who would not stop talking was on her phone to her, which was annoying her - but we look forward to having her with us in France next week.
Met some folks from Penicuik in the Bar who were regulars but did not realise they knew Graham from the days when he was the Hunter's Lad,

Ongoing texting session with Archie and Tracy who still have to name baby "It", so no doubt all the "committee members" have fallen out - maybe Auntie ann will have to help.

Spoke of megaphone exhausts the other day - and have just experienced the most outrageous and noisy twat raking about near the house - they should be taken out and crushed.

Met another ex colleague this morning passing the pub , Jeff Anderson , now a civilian licensing enforcement officer in Edinburgh.
Hopefully tomorrow night I will meet up with Ian Nimmo, who I have known all thirty five years of his service, but is now retiring - a superb golfer and someone with a brilliant personality and great sense of humour, former traffic officer and latterly family protection unit.

Watched our neighbourhood parking enforcement offficer this morning - zero - zilch - no leeway whatsoever, he actually booked a bloke who was picking up a parcel in the shop across the road on red lines - BUT BUT the lane was actually coned off and not in use due to all the roadworks going on - so it was fine for vans and trucks to park for ages but not this poor chap. Just a revenue generating programme.

Young Ashley at Imarni is leaving on Friday to start her training with Elemis, in London where she is heading off to work on the cruise ships. I do not think we will make it in to say cheerio but wish her well.

Sparky Mark @ Dr Disaster has just arrived, complete with ritual book getting sorted for new session of RA 500. He is just back from Lochearnhead, working for the weekend and denies all knowledge of the floods in India. Just been to his Ma's for another free dinner - but he will have to make do with some out of date crisps from me. Turns out Mrs. B has been fattening up Jamie with the same.

Stop Press - baby "It" will be called Austin - .

Mrs. B . is currently hpyer - and needs some form of medication / or a bash on the head.
