How time flies when you are enjoying yourself !! Thursday - spent the whole day in The Mercat where we had many visitors to the City dropping in for food and drinkies, nice to see some of them coming back again even though they were only in the City for a few days.
Off early this morning to Risley ( not Runcorn as is normal) , nice run down the motorways, fairly quiet with the weather reasonable. BUT with the hosepipe ban implemented this morning in the North West , it obviously had to rain - which it did - heading both ways. The newsreader had some weird story about reservoirs and lying water, etc as an excuse - but it has been the driest year since records began.
Down to Risley where I met up with Cath and Alan who I have not seen for about four years, like us all they are a bit older and Alan still supports Everton !! bit sad - however I will need to wait for a couple of weeks before I see the lovely Angela once again.
Someone remind me NEVER to do this run on a Friday afternoon - the M6 was really badly congested heading North through about four sets of roadworks between the Blackpool turn off and Lancaster - looks like everyone was heading to the Lake District, maybe planning to wash their cars in the lakes !!! . Between the additional cars, the tortoise folks, motor homes, and the people taking all their bicycles for a run( on the roofs and boots) I was nearly an hour slower than usual for the trip north to Glasgow. Fortunately I spotted an unmarked Police BMW near Abington Services, but they were going to help a stranded motorcyclist, and it was raining so no problems.
Full house at Glasgow - Fraser and Bob on site, and young Jill had just left , so a cuppa was a welcome treat. on the M6 home wards saw a fine piece of road rage between J 2 and Hermiston Gait - I thought I was bad, but this chappie was bonkers. Weaving in and out, waving fists, and trying to cut off a BMW.
A fair day , but a long one - so a fine piece of Gilmour's steak was needed to revive the system.
No result yet, but Raoul Moat, the Northumbria gunman is in a stand off with the Police - we are so tolerant here - considering the news today about the policeman in Oaklands, USA who accidentally shot his prisoner by drawing his gun instead of his taser !!! Many moons ago we had a man at Dalkeith blow his head off with a shotgun because when he phoned our Boss demanding that he go see him, he sent one of the guys to the door, result - not happy - BANG.
BIG QUESTION - will the nutter "pastor" in Eastenders get away with murdering his wife to try and conceal the other murders he has committed , or will he try and blame her ? Bad enough that he said it is all in the good book - just a matter of individual interpretation.
Perhaps we should ask the German Octopus which has been getting all the World Cup football results correct ?
