Well , Friday was quite busy, lots of plans which went awry, however, i eventually got out the house at 11 a.m. and popped in to check out on a complaint of vandalism at one of my clients sites -, big steel container allegedly damaged, BUT the lady who I spoke to told me it was youths with snowballs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
, Need to be Goliath with solid lumps of ice,
then she went on to relate a couple of suspicious incidents she had witnessed. Asked if she had noted vehicle numbers or phoned the police , it was hands up - "sorry I ever spoke to you , do not want to discuss matter further , and get out you are not welcome" - this was to me, paid to do what I have done for them for the past 13 years. It was certainly a case of hold breath, bit tongue and count to ten, and backwards - several times.
On to the Mercat to give a wee hand over lunch - and we were busy again. Even had a team in from the "Cult" who arrived at 3 p.m. and were just leaving when I dropped back in at 10 p.m.

There are several interesting plaques, etc around the walls, including the documents relating to an Iniation into Edinburgh no 1 St Mary's Chaper in 1654.
Had to head off as I had a little job to look at back at the Mercat before heading home - place was chock a block and people were being turned away as there was nowhere to sit them for meals - not a bad complaint. The private Burns supper was doing well, so hopefully ours will do likewise this evening.
Up and off to the plumbers merchants this morning and on to town - had to drop into the City Council Offices at Market Street where engineers were trying to sort a fancy moving ceiling in the entrance foyer - waste of ratepayers money !! Not that I had been sent for a "long stand" but that is what I had, along with another young lady as the front desk Security Officer was "in absentia".
On to the Mercat Bar and en route, in wonderful sunshine could not resist this photo of the Scott Monument and Princes Street.

Home, and in view of the lovely sunshine ( cold though - but no snow like they are having in other parts of the UK) I took myself out into the garden to commune with nature and as Sparky has said did an Alan Titmarsh BUT, I did fire up the mighty steed of steel which has been lying dormant in the garage, connected by its umbilical to a trickle charger, but it started first time , out into the sun and then i had a pleasant gentle run out to West Linton and back.
About to get all dressed up for tonight's Burns Supper at The Mercat Ba, so with camera at the ready there may be a few "bonnie chookies" smiling from the screen over the day or two.
