A bit of serious deja vu here at the moment - back in the sleeping bag in the conservatory after yet another serious bout of coughing woke me up. So, wide awake, time to spare and no excuse for not writing.
Have been busy since we came home yesterday from Krackow - very good flight home with Easy Jet, on time all the way - airport bus back to The Mercat Bar where we enjoyed a lovely bit of haddock and chips, Scottish style. We had left William and Sandra at Krackow airport as they headed home to London via Warsaw ( nice one with a frothy pint)
Notices are now up for the next wine night on 27th May, "Rest of The World Wines", and a new venture, a Sunday Jazz Lunch on 6th June for £25 which sounds interesting.
Used RGB's motor to get home but that meant I had to go back into town again later to collect him.
Sir Christopher, Miss Talk a Lot, Tam, Kathryn and all are off to sunny Spain so hope they have a nice time.
Had plans for this morning but found mail and e mail which was needing sorted quick - and then more work came in to tie me up, followed by trip to the Doctor to try and get a remedy for this cough.
Into town for a bit of serious business but did manage a few views of Edinburgh from a different angle, the three spires of St Mary's Cathedral , the gaping mouth of the roof of Murrayfield Stadium and a nice shot along the length of Dewar Place to Palmerston Place which nearly shows the Mercat !!!
By the time I got home through the traffic and three new sets of temporary traffic lights - I was well behind schedule so made a late entrance at RA Laird O Cockpen 500 where they were being visited by a Provincial Deputation. It was a superb deputation with 30 plus in the group to swell the numbers. Our 1st Principal did an excellent job, and had a fine feast organised for afterwards.
Sparky Mark was there in the flesh, having eventually made it back from the mountains of Morocco, having been delayed in the sunshine for an extra week due to the volcanic ash fiasco. He and Grant @Photogenix had to make do without Tam ( or Ricky who was off committing acts of piracy in the City).
In the meantime the earth continues to rumble, bump and bang for the residents of California, the sea around the Aleutian Islands must be foaming well with five big shocks in two days, and Andy Murray continues to earn a crust on the tennis courts.
Me, still cosy in the sleeping bag, and the rain has arrived (2.40 a.m) as forecast - so I will get wet heading for town later.
