Mother's day treats, but tinged with sadness

Shocker of a night once again with toothache, spent sitting in a chair from 2 am till 6 am when I went back to bed, and despite the fact the sun was shining there was a solid hard white frost outside.

By the time I resurfaced, the frost had gone and it was a lovely day outside, but as it was Mother's day, and we had a full house of bookings at The Dolphin Inn we were heading off to work.
A good day at the Dolphin Inn, some lovely people in for lunch, treats for Mothers - the oldest we had in was a young 89, and she celebrated her 80'th birthday in the Dolphin, so hopefully, her health permitting, she might be here for her 90th. Must say that all the staff did very well and their efforts were much appreciated by the customers.

Not sure if the Celtic fans were quite so happy today, losing to the underdogs, Kilmarnock in the first of the home football cup finals - I had heard the Kilmarnock goal keeper on the radio in the morning and he was really up for the game.

Shocking incident on the football pitch when young Fabrice Muamba collapsed with what appears to be a heart attack, all we know is that he is in Intensive Care and hopefully on the road to recovery - he will be so pleased to know just how many people are wishing him well. It is surprising how many mega fit young men collapse, the late Bruce Lee springs to mind.
