Hailstones for a change

Awoke this morning to a white road, no traffic and was a bit worried about getting into town , however as it was only 5.30 a.m. the road was a bit clearer by the time I left , and surprisingly, apart from the crawling drivers there was no problems at all.

Bar was steady all day with a few more visitors, Adelaide, Brisbane, Boston USA, Ireland and Spain all through the door, with some of them coming back tomorrow.

The wandering Eduardo surprised us this afternoon by dropping in and announcing that he was back in Edinburgh again as his home base. Looking well, but we do not know what he is going to get up to next.

Young Don !!!!! , our friendly policeman from the USA popped in with his new Boss, introduced to the Mercat for the first time.

Lunchtime was busy and Scottie, Sir Christopher and I managed OK, but we had three in the kitchen to get the good food out.

Mrs. B. took the opportunity to head for the sales again as she was getting a lift home by me.

On the way home on the A702 , Bigger Road, we witnessed some of the most dangerous and reckless driving by two blokes, one in an Audi estate and the other in a Ford Mondeo, racing each other on the slushy road, overtaking on double white lines on bad bends and nearly wiping an ongoing car out as he appeared over a blind summit - just totally outrageous.

So it was a quiet night in , managed to do some paperwork and catch up a bit - but will need a few more days yet.

Anyway - early rise again , back to The Mercat, but the boys will be doing their thing over "the Bells" - and I will up and in again early on the 1st. Was I really that bad when i was young ?

Sounds like a fun and lazy day :)! I hate it when people do crazy things like that in their cars.

Hi there Boredom - sorry for the delay, but I did not spot your comment. these blokes really were a bit OTT and I have seen some bad driving in my time, including a cople which ended up in fatalities.
