Despite the sun - couple of moans

Up before the larks this morning, lovely day and out early to go to the morning meeting of the TGI (Cult) at the Marriot Hotel, Maybury, where there was a really good attendance of about thirty three members and visitors. (great breakfast, poached eggs on toast with bacon) I was out in the wee Smart car, dotting about the town, but I think my car should be a taxi !!! these guys are a law unto themselves, using the bus lane when it suits them, in and out, overtaking, undertaking and as far as I can see are totally oblivious to the speed limits, the rules of the road just do not seem to apply to them at all - and now they want to put their prices up even more - just wait another twenty years (maybe) or so and when the trams are running beyond Princes Street, they will have to dispatch their cabs to join the old Escort up there in that scrapyard in the sky. So next stop was the Mercat bar where Aunty Claire made me a nice omelet (not on menu), and then later in the day I ended up at the Standing Order, which was quieter than usual with the big Pole Dancer being off on a few days holiday - again !!! Never mind, he was having a ball chasing his wee son around a holiday camp. My gripe tonight being that when we went for the bus, did the usual and checked the timetables, I was getting ever so annoyed as no bus appeared !!!!! EVENTUALLY - someone read the small print along with the adverts and discovered that the buses were being diverted - not amused at all as it was a wasted half hour, I thought they could have at least covered over the timetables of the cancelled services. BUT - the bus driver was excellent, having heard my moans and groans, he made a call during the journey and was able to say that he had passed on my comments - no gripes against the drivers who are really first class. Never mind - home, feet up and looking forward to a long lie in the morning, then I must water the lawn before the next hose pipe ban comes into effect ???????????????????? According to the paper we have had such a dry month in parts of the country that a hose pipe ban is imminent.
