Wednesday catch up

Wednesday lunchtime and I just seem to be chasing my tail and getting nowhere fast.

Spent Monday during the day wall papering and working in the house apart from an hour when i took myself off for a swim .

Tuesday , had a visit from the young "Upside down Boy" Scott, still sporting his moustache which will be removed all in the name of charity.

managed another swim , and even finished the papering !!! - well maybe not.

Out in the evening , not to 720 as planned but to Edinburgh Defensive Band No 151, at the Edinburgh masonic Club - what an excellent night it was, good crowd, first class 3rd degree, good meal afterwards, and some good entertainment with two of the members, Tom Woolard and John Gibson performing on their guitars and singing a few folk songs. Mr Mills and Leitch were in fine fettle also.

Home late and Penicuik had had it's first snowfall of the year, but the snow had melted and by morning it was plus 2 c, nice and mild !!

Shock to the system to be asked to get up early and open up here in The Mercat again , but for once no tram noise as the works have been stopped for a month.

Word from the hospital that Bertie baa, Head Shepherd of the Ancient Order of Pathead Shepherds, has undergone his operation yesterday morning and things seem to be good - fingers crossed.
