Sophie Jex-Blake - interesting wee observation


A raw morning , misty, and unfortunately I could not get stopped to take a photo South from Lowries Den showing only the tips of the hills protruding from the mist.

Into town where a chappie was raiding a skip sitting in Manor Place, but by the time I had parked he had left. However, in walking round this route I spotted the plaque outside 4 Manor Place, stating that Sophie Jex-Blake, Scotland's first lady doctor had started her practice there. Quite a bit on Google about her life.
Heard from Go Jo and RGB last night, seems that they had done the 10 in 30 challange in Jake's Bar, not for the faint hearted !! Ten beers in 30 minutes, and no going to the loo !!! Methinks Go Jo is leading RGB astray.
This end of the town seems to be very quiet, but we do have a full downstairs at the moment with fans watching the Manchester United v Chelsea match, which Chelsea are leading 0 - 1 at the moment.
