Thursday night and now relaxing in the BMI lounge at Edinburgh airport, waiting a flight to London.
Last couple o days have been a bit tiring, up at 4.45 a.m. to be in town and open up the bar by 0545 in order that a film crew cold get in. They were making a training video on behalf of one of the banks and needed a bar scenario.
Biggest problem was having to tip toe around the place while the recording was taking place, no hassle for me being a trained backwoodsman !! (old Scout) unlike Jeff the cleaner who has two flat left feet!!
Tuesday night I was down at Bonnyrigg for the first meeting of Laird o Cockpen RA 500, there was a good attendance and our Grand Supertendant Alex Mooney took the floor for an E. M Degree, very good. Pity Tam was losing his voice, nearly gone by the time he finished - so there was peace and quiet for Kathryn when he got home.
Wednesday, another early rise for our budding actors, who were joined by the lovely Kiera Murphy, Comedienne, who had been coopted to play the role of a cynical "mature" woman !! Pity her male counterpart had not learned his lines, bit of serious hair pulling going on.
3 p.m. another session at the Dental hospital as part of a lead up to future treatment., From there it was over to Henricks Bar, the new home of Sir Chris and the birthday girl, Miss Talk a lot @ Ailsa. A big crowd of friends and well wishers turned up to make the evening a memorable event.
Several Merlot's later it was time to get the McEwan's coach home and to bed !! Out for the count.
Quiet day today recovering before heading into town, firstly for a coffee at Henricks (and a small Auchentoshen - which brought back a few memories of Pentland Bond). Walked down through Fountainbridge and had a look at the reinstated Edinburgh Quay which was the dock at the end of the Union Canal, really very nice setting now. Over the road is the old Co-Op building, with some interesting panels on the wall. Then to The Mercat Bar for dinner before getting the airport bus ( old age has its benefits - bus pass).
