Busy day - and at the Mercat Bar as well

Twas another early rise and off to Hermiston Gait for the meeting of the BMI chapter there - this time without the missing RGB who was en route home from his trip to Capetown along along with Sir Christopher where they been frightening the sharks, amongst other things - along with a group of publicans sponsored by Drambuie.

Super meeting of the "cult", who really are very well motivated and this chapter is currently rated No 2 in Scotland. In their midst I am one of the "oldies" but they can still get the old pacemaker beating.

Had to leave early sharp and headed back to the Mercat where young Fiona was opening up on her own ; but no need to worry she was on the ball and all was fine.

First group in, off the Cardiff flight were Laura, Jessica, Gaynor, Mel, Kirstie, Hannah, Sarah and Kelly; who have arrived for the weekend to celebrate Laura's impending marriage.

Couple of meetings and then the girls / ladies from the Tesco Bank arrived for lunch - which turned out to be a surprise announcement by one of the ladies that she was going to have a baby - great excitement as the photo of the baby in womb was circulated round the table. Congratulations to the mum to be, we look forward to seeing you all again when she starts her maternity leave.
Lunch was steady and passed quickly and then when I got back from the bank there was a very nice group of ladies in from Falkirk, just off the train at Haymarket, in for a drink before they headed off to the Noisettes concert at The Cinema tonight - hopefully there will not be a repeat of the power cut which cancelled the concert on Monday night at the last moment and caused a serious amount of grief,

Headed to Booker's before it closed and then back to the Mercat where RGB and Sir Christopher were back in the fold - and chris had even managed to get the faulty phones fixed.

So now we are back to normal - or are we ?????
