Scotland rugby , yet another poor display.

Saturday a.m., and it was looking like shovels might be needed again - however with a bit of a struggle , I made it to John Street and then headed for the City. As usual the Midlothian Roads were being treated but the City Streets were a mess - no snowploughs yet. This was the really heavy wet snow, which was bringing trees down and in the borders, power lines.

By the time I reached The Mercat , it was snow zero and rain mucho.

Busy morning, good stag group in from Whitchurch in Shropshire for breakfast then heading off to the Paintball centre.
We had two power cuts during the morning, bit of a panic as whole streets were out, but we managed to get by till it came on again , in time for the rugby international, Scotland v Italy.
This was a bit of a let down with Scotland coming in second once again , and finishing at the bottom of the league by the end of the afternoon. The England team also managed to win second prize !!! after a last minute score by Ireland.
Just a wee bit like the Rangers last minute wine over Celtic this afternoon.

Headed home and passed a bit of a shunt on the Western Approach Road
poor little Kaaa appeared to be the victim of a prang, looked like a case of a red light runner.

home , changed and off for a soiree at Grant and EEYvonne's

Excellent meal, good fun along with Karen and Gary, Andy and Carol. Their two daughters were quiet as wee mice, showing us how to really use computers. very pleasant glass or two of Hendricks Gin to help pass away the evening.

Now recovering from both last night and a session with my Chinese acupuncture expert this afternoon, very effective, heavy acupressure and then a bit of cupping - not for the faint hearted.

Enough - time to do some work.
