Grand slam and wooden spoon deciders

Had a terrible night with toothache (and not happy about the thought of the chompers being pulled), however I awoke to brilliant sunshine streaming through the window, a lovely day overall, although it is now a crystal clear evening and very cold, - although I suppose that is relative, having watched the Blue Peter girl last night travel five hundred miles across Antarctica on skies, foot, a bicycle and using a kite, in temperatures of-45. Good programme and well done, all for the current fund raising events by Sports Relief.

Rugby, Six nations all decided today - Wales, tremendous , putting their heart and soul into the game before coming out on top and winning the Grand Slam; England did very well, a powerful force who whapped the Irish (with their scrum totally dominant); Scotland at one stage were strolling around the pitch and deservedly got the wooden spoon - the SRU might add another section in their shop at Murrayfield stocking kitchen utensils - so back to the drawing board, while Wales are off down under to hopefully show the upside down folks the way to play.

Into the chaos that is Edinburgh, to add to the motoring woes, the traffic light controls went on the blink causing mayhem around the Haymarket, West End and George Street areas for twenty four hours - but do not worry, Councillor Lesley Hinds described the event as a "minor glitch", which curiously is the same phrase she used about the delays in the tramworks. So if you are planning on driving in the City, bring a packed lunch and a sleeping bag.
Very good write up for the Mercat Bar tonight in the Edinburgh Evening News, hopefully we can soon match these comments in the Dolphin Inn, which is fully booked for Mother's Day - so guess where we will be working.

Bit of a tragedy today (apart from the Rugby) when the steed of steel suffered what might be a heart attack, or its pacemaker has packed in - no life at all which is strange considering I have been out on it in the past few days, just need to wait and see.
