Just a bit subdued at the moment - still got a sore throat after my delightful session in the hospital and having an endoscope this afternoon- not amusing, but tests were negative I think !! back on Friday to find out. Nice wee nurse, Samantha, did her best to calm me down before the "intrusive investigation", but it did not really help - and as I was travelling on the motor bike there was no way I was getting sedated.
However, last night I had a superb session in the chair at RA 500 Laird O Cockpen with an attendance of 57 which included a good deputation from Provincial led by Alex Moonie Provincial Grand Superintendent and his Depute, Andy McKeen. Meeting went well, with a good report, and was followed by lovely buffet prepared by Mrs. B. well appreciated, with little waste at the end of the evening.
Next bash at the Lodge will be Friday night when we ( Big Ian and Dougie) are running a social with a 60's tribute band and a 60's disco.
The swine flu is causing a bit concern, and it looks as though RGB will be screened as he enters Hong Kong on Saturday on his stopover, en route to the land of Oz to see Robbie and Caitlan, leaving Pa and Sir Christopher holding the fort.
Watching the news tonight about the demonstrators in London, who were arrested four years ago following a so called impromptu demonstration and were wrongly arrested. They have been given compensation of £85,000 between them. BUT - they were all foreigners visiting London - so why were they getting involved, then having the dammed cheek to get lawyers involved, who will no doubt get their lions share of the claims. But it will not bode well for the Police Authority in view of the latest G20 carry on. Next demonstrations they should sit back and let the Civil Liberties people Police the event !!!!! That could be fun.
Next wine night at The Mercat Bar will be 26th May, when it will be French wines being sampled, along with good food, all for £15 , not a bad deal.
Might feel better tomorrow, especially if Arsenal can get a result against Manchester United tonight, rather than waiting for the second round.
