Sun shine - in Scotland - hard to believe.

Sunday evening , lovely day - and have just pottered about in the sun, in the garden , however, Mrs. B. took herself off this morning for a walk and did twenty miles - YES, before lunch time - all part of her training in for the MOONWALK Cancer Research marathon on June 19 th.

Yesterday was a different kettle of fish , woke up early, and found that Mrs B had a "foreign body" in her eye, so rather than mess about we headed straight to the A & E Dept, at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. 7.10 a.m. and they were still coping with a backlog from the Friday night and were promising to try and see not emergency cases within three hours. There were still some of the drunken / drug affected numpties hanging about the A & E and from their actions they were obviously regulars, just a pain in the backside ( not treatable). So two hours later one happy bunny walked out the hospital and headed home minus a piece of grit which had somehow got under the eyelid. I think these nurses and doctors deserve a medal for dealing with all these "casualties", and it is a sad state of affairs that there is a need to have regular Police Officers on duty there full time.

Quick change for me and I headed down to Bonnyrigg where young Grant @ Photogenix was tasked with clearing and saving lots of photos from two cameras whilst I headed to a meeting of the Stanley Geddes Conclave (No 404) of the OSM. Fairly short meeting so I was able to get away, collect my photos from the bar where Grant had left them for me and headed home - to find - NO WIFE !! - but a note , gone for a walk. It was very hot and the last thing needed was a long trail in the head, however, she appeared a very short time later , and covered in blood, having taken a tumble on some loose rubble on the footpath, fortunately not far from home. Having said that a motorist whio saw her reported it to the Police who were nearby on their quad bikes and an Officer attended and made sure she was able to manage the last wee bit home.
So that was it , a quiet weekend, plenty sunshine, and now - just about to head off for a slow run South to Runcorn to do a job early on a.m. Monday and get back to Glasgow by early p.m.
