Sunday and not a day of rest.

I was sitting quite happy watching the x-Factor and keeping an eye on the computer which was showing the status of flights into Edinburgh - it had said that the Dublin flight was due in at 9.38 when suddenly it changed to 9.15 - what a panic - shoes on and out the door at the gallop, but did make it in time to uplift the weary travellers.

Got their gossip en route, so not needing a second bout , I headed to bed to read my little red book for Tuesday !!

Awake at my usual ungodly hour of around 4 a.m. , and up around 6 to potter before heading into the Mercat Bar. Being Sunday I was able to get parked in Palmerston Place, and was a bit annoyed to see that some not too bright hooligan had uprooted some potted shrubs from a nearby doorstep and stuck it on a parked motor cycle - certainly a variation on a windscreen - maybe OK whilst it has foliage.

Round the corner, Andy's bike still chained to a rail, but now minus the saddle !! Might be a hint that he needs to get it moved soon.

The print shop across the road has a wonderful poster in the window about "Trainspotting" / " Tramspotting" - as you will see it had to be photographed in three bits - but the content is really funny - well worth blowing up the page to read the text. ( and Monty the Dog - a real star)

Had what might be a nice wee "con" today , not sure as I know the bloke , but with his ancestral background he could be at it . Called in for breakfast , ordered a double roll, (one roll with two eggs and four bits of bacon) - then after eating half it , complained and said that it was only fair that he did not have to pay for it - I suppose technically he had already eaten nearly a full roll.
( I think he was at it).

Lovely day , as I headed out to Lodge 720 at Bonnyrigg to get set up for Tuesday nights Laird O Cockpen RA 500 meeting. Joined by Tam ; Alex and Robin, not even enough to have a quorum - but Temple was sorted and we are ready to go.
Was listening to the football on the radio in the car, thought Hearts were going to have a lucky day , but the Parkhead crowd were possibly too much for the away team .

Quiet night in I hope.
