Yet another miserable weekend for Scottish rugby

Half way through the Scotland wales game and Wales have just scored following an error by Scotland.
It has been quite a weekend for rugby, on Friday morning I was talking to some of the members of the "Ospreys" who were having their breakfast as I left the BNI breakfast meeting at the Marriot, Maybury, and of course they went on to beat Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday night.
yesterday I was in the Mercat Bar where a group of twenty eight Welsh lads arrived for a stag weekend. The Stag was for Gavin BaunEvans, former No. 8 for Cardiff, who had to give up following an injury. I bumped into them later on in the day in the Alexander Graham Bell (Wetherspoons) , George Street, where they got a row for singing "Flower of Scotland" - ridiculous, probably some English tourist complaining !! as most folks were quite taken by their good singing. The boys were in good fettle so we wish Gavin and Sian all the best when they get married.



We had dropped in and met friends, Colin and Lorraine who we had not seen for a couple of years - so instead of us heading home for tea and them going shopping we had a "guid blether" for "several" hours, before we all ended up getting the bus home.
I did not even realise that the France game had been cancelled due to the frozen pitch - no such problems here in Edinburgh where the weather has been lovely , 7.5C this afternoon.
