Was bad, but not as bad as it has been.
Into town on McEwan' bus to meet Mrs. B. and head off to the new Wetherspoon's pub in George Street, The Alexander Graham Bell, named after the inventor of the telephone who lived nearby.
The bar is very nice, not as large as I thought it would be, the staff were on their final day's training before the open
ing today. I ended up with a lovely ribeye steak
washed down with a Merlot.

Headed for The Mercat Bar and then to Morrison Street to collect the car , but outside Fraser's Store I assisted a blind lady who was totally disorientated due to the road works associated with the tram works. It must be a nightmare for the blind and visually impaired who have to cope with an ever changing "landscape" in the town, even scaffolding and street furniture are serious hazards.
Made it home with an hour or so to get changed before heading to the Old Original Hotel at Roslin for the Annual Gentleman's Dinner organised by the SESLTA (South East Of Scotland Licensed Trade Association). Really good turnout this year with one hundred and twelve people present, two guest speakers, complimentary drinks, Black Grouse whiskey, and Brugel Dark Rum. Unfortunately, being out of sorts I left early and headed home so I missed the speakers, raffle , etc - but I have heard that the night was enjoyed by all.
And today - with the sun shining from early morning, and on a day off, no question - out into the garden to get it sorted. hard to believe that we had a touch of frost a few days ago and several plants were lost - and with mid summer day only three weeks away, we are surly going to have some kind of summer
