Fizzing garages - there to take your money -

My day continued, quietly, as he team were running the Bar - Not sure what I have got myself involved in, but I answered a call from The Edinburgh Evening News reporter who was looking for a comment about the debate in hand by Edinburgh Council to allow pubs to open at 10 a.m. on a Sunday, which if passed would do away with one of our remaining archaic laws. next thing a young press photographer appeared for my picture - Lord knows what quote I have given ?

Cars and garages - RGB,s car was taken off for a service on Wednesday morning , garage have just admitted that they ordered the wrong parts and it will not now be fixed till Wed / Thurs next week at the earliest - Yet - I have two mechanics who work from their homes, charge half or less normal garage rates and can do the jobs in a fraction of the time the garages take, enough said.

Met Dougie the Painter, owner of the wonderful Collie, Cody - bright and intelligent - but who has just been seriously savaged by a pit bull terrier dog - Cody needed surgery after three men prised the pit bull off. There are supposed to be controls on these animals, however, the animals who own them seem to ignore that bit of the law.

Friend Davy "Bones" on the phone tonight, and was saying that North Berwick suffered very badly from the recent high tide and storm surge, a few houses suffered from a mini tsunami with waved going straight through houses.

Go Jo on the text, it was not her and RGB who had checked out the blog from the Big Apple, they are going there next week - so far they have taken up residence in Jake's Bar, Westchester, PA.

We were talking about The Eden Resort and Spa Hotel, Sri Lanka at tea time and this evening I hav had an E mail from Srimathy at the hotel. She had been badly injured in a car crash, the other car was driven by a local government official, and as a result of a cover up, the whole incident was whitewashed, even the local press had to print an apology.

Never mind - despite everything , the sunshine has cleared away most of the snow - so tomorrow is another day (at the Inn of course).
