Hold the Prize High.

Heart stopping stuff this afternoon as the final minutes of the football ticked by - I had been listening to the radio and as I left the car Manchester United were in the winners seat and Manchester City were trailing by two goals.  I went into the "Chippy" where one of the staff was so pleased with the result, for him, his family and friends - BIG DIZZY- what a surprise when I got back into the car and found that Manchester City were the new League Champions having scored two goals in four minutes - WELL DONE.
My friend Mr. L. will now be a happy bunny- he was sweating a bit.  Mr. Ferguson will not be so pleased with his "noisy neighbours" any more.

Even more exciting was the final of Britain's Got Talent, WHO would have thought that Pudsey the Dog would win !!!!!   Everybody did, because the way things are going in this country, with people voting for penguins in the local elections, there is every likelihood that there will be piggies standing for election as MEP's in Brussels to join the current bunch dining daily at their troughs.
Anyway, Pudsey was in fact very good, excellent, and although his owner has received a cheque for £500.000.00p I am sure that the pair will be receiving a number of offers from Pet Food companies and the likes - good on them.
I just felt sorry for Jonathon and his partner, phenomenal singers for their age, and with a great career ahead of them, just like Susan Boyle, another runner up-  but who was great last night.  She is apparently singing for the Queen at a private party this week.

Sunday, and our summer appears to be past, high winds, rain, dug out the thermals and was well wrapped up while working outside.  The Penicuik Archery Club have had a two day tournament over in the park, but with today,s high winds I am sure there were more than a few wayward arrows. Reminds me of the late  Duncan MacRae, who used to do the poem to the "Wee Cock Sparrow" on the hogmanay shows.
New week dawning, fans getting excited about the forthcoming Hearts and Hibs game next weekend - nae pressure !!
