Thursday a.m. - shocking night, hardly any point in going to bed - need a good cure fro insomnia, and worse than that - the sky above is sheet grey this morning- where the hell is the sunshine.
However, yesterday probably sounds a bit boring, swim, massage, walk, bowls, garden and masons !!
In the Pool at 9 a.m. with the early birds, showers were freezing so one guy - covered in tattoos jumped into the Jacuzzi and sat there with bubbles obviously doing and going where bubbles go. Did a few lengths, had a warm up in the steam room and then headed to see "Cruella" . She was in her glory, lots of knots, aches and pains to untangle and said that it was the worst state i had been in for a long time - no pain, no gain- but I did feel a lot better afterwards.
Took myself off on the bus to Habbies Howe, and walked back - passing the Midlothian Council road men who are supposed to be sorting the roadside drains - once again the JCB driver was lounging with his feet up and on his mobile phone - and that was both times I passed in a 45 minute period. The two men in the van were playing cards - but by that time they were maybe on their lunch break!! Obviously not on a bonus payment scheme.
Not many out for the bowls in the afternoon , but it was a laugh, the "senior" players really enjoy the company and are a bit more forgiving with novice players.
Off to the RA 431 Colinton and Currie last night with Grant @ Photogenix to give the members a bit of support.
This Chapter has been struggling a bit recently so the 1st Principal Bob Philips and his office bearers have made a big effort for the meeting which was well rewarded with a superb Deputation from Provincial, led by Alex Mooney, and also a big Dep from Esk 42 led by Duncan Gemmell who were supporting Andy McKeen who was given honorary membership during the evening. Very long meeting, started at 7 p.m. and finished at 10 p.m., followed by a dinner of the traditional "mince and tatties". C & C were inaugurated in 1918 so the members would like to see a bit of a resurgence of interest and try to make it through to their Centenary - no reason why not, just a few more bodies needed.
