Bit of a mixed day today, up early and into town, wee jobs to do at The Mercat Bar, where, later in the day Mrs. B. appeared with a box of little cup cakes, nice, nice nice.
Lots going on around Haymarket, businesses flooded by a burst sewer and the Tramworks are getting the blame - however, round the corner at St Mary's Cathedral, some six hundred guests were present for the consecration of the new Bishop of Edinburgh The Very Rev Dr. John Armes. A lovely day for the occasion and as you can see many had an enjoyable time on the lawns.
back to Penicuik, and with the sun shining took the opportunity to have a bit of a run out on the Steed of Steel, over by Newbigging and Rosslynlee Fishery where the Shetland ponies were even taking an interest in the days activities - just a pity I did not get the sequence of photos right ? the man I was watching casting, had been on his mobile phone for ages - no wonder he had no catch.
Headed for Dalkeith and the premises of Motorrad BMW to have a bit of a day dream (drool) over the newest machines and pick up some bits for my own machine.
So, while the sun shone here in Edinburgh, the roadman for Highland Council tasked with cutting the grass verges over the Schloct on the A9, had a bit of a problem as they were under snow - but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and the ski slopes at Avimore are still busy with good coverage. The consolation for those down South who have been complaining about rain and foot rot due to wearing their wellies - the hose pipe ban is slowly being lifted.
