Friday night and as they say " The best laid plans of mice and men" - get sort of screwed - well and truly. Thursday, my day off it was up and away to see the folks at KB, made a few calls to Aberdeen and Inverness and will have that as a probable job soon. Headed off on foot to go see Sir Chris and Miss Talk a lot at Hendricks, nice day and as I crossed the Bruntsfield Links ( Edinburgh's pitch and put course - donated to the City - where players pick up their clubs at the well known Golf Inn"). Nice view of the Barclay Church, with its high spire against the skyline.
Chris and Ailsa were busy getting their new bar up and running, nice little bar, so I did not stay to long but took a slow walk out the City through Bruntsfield, Morningside and up onto Comiston Road before eventually getting a No 15 A home - first time ever, what an experience, right out into the country - very nice.
With so much to do I just was not able to make the RA at Gorebridge Dundas last night.
Up early again and off with RGB who was heading for the Cult meeting ( BMI), while I opened up.
Doors burst open at 0845 with four groups all wanting fed so my day was off with a bang and so it went - busy all day , and some really nice visitors, Lady from Millwaukee who was going to the Harley Davidson Garage in West mains Road, couple from Reno, Nevada, folks from Italy, Portugal, Mexico, and a big stag group from all over England. Place was bouncing - all seats taken and it was eventually 8.30 p.m. before we left. Headed east to drop RGB off just in time to see young Amy who was celebrating her 6th birthday - we were lucky as most of the wild children had left !!!
BUT - eventually got home at 9 p.m. in time to see the end of the Scotland - Czech football match - bit insipid, and to lose 1 - 0 , shame for the fans.
Bad accident outside the Haymarket Bar tonight, bus came round the corner and someone either walked or ran into the path of it, windscreen of the bus was smashed with the victims head - ambulance and police in attendance, news was on Radio Forth but we do not know how serious it was, although the road was not closed so it was not fatal.
Trying hard to get sponsors for RGB who is doing his 10 K for Cancer Research next Sunday, 17th, few sponsors today and a lot of raffle tickets sold - he is having a bit of a bash in the Bar after the run for those who sponsor him a £10 spot or more !!!! - so give us a call.
No time for another ramble tonight - bed time - having missed another installation (Esk 42 RA) Dalkeith, so apologies companions, but work has to come first.
