A challanging Day for someone

Day started with the discovery that the enemy, Squirrilius Fluffytailus, had forced entry into the birds nut feeder by chewing right through the plastic peg holding it in place. lets see how they cope with the replacements - need to watch in case they force their way into my tool kit.

Working at the Dolphin Inn this morning when we were visited by a lovely family of six, who had been staying at the nearby Premier Inn and were looking for a breakfast. Not usually available,however the ladies in the kitchen soon rustled up an appropriate feast tomsuit their palate which the family thoroughly enjoyed. They were really nice and as one couple are regular visitors to Edinburgh they have promised to come back and see us again.

Very nice comliment at lunch time when one lady, who has been in three times in the last five weeks, said that the improvements in the premises and food were "jaw dropping" - a compliment indeed.

Home in time to cut the grass which was either needing cut or looking for a sheep to graze it - my elderly neighbour, 90 yrs old this year had me in for a coffee - only problem being that by the time I had finished it he had forgotton and was offering me another !!

Early night, leading to an even earlier morning as I am off again on my travels - not on a donkey like our famous and local author , Robert Louis Stevenson ( who lived at Swanston Village on the opposite side of the pentland Hills from here) - but in the mind blowing Smart car - so white van men beware !! long run tomorrow, Glasgow, risley and Wetherby for starters and then it is a case of wait and see.
