Take the next month off in the sun - somewhere else

Still resting here with panoramic views of rooftops to the north of Edinburgh and over the Forth where I can on the clear days see the Burntisland TV mast.   Must say that the weather has improved, but I will probably be discharged in time for the rain coming back on.

Have spent two days enjoying the Open Golf from Royal Lytham @ St Anne's.   Competition is hotting up and it was good to see Tiger Woods back on the prowl - playing like a chess master, having worked out his strategy and sticking to it.  Next two days should be interesting, especially as the weather is likely to change for the worse.

Good night for the Olly Murs concert at Edinburgh Castle tonight, should be good, as will Madonna tomorrow night at Murrayfield Stadium -  bit of a carry on with someone releasing the codes for the Prizewinners tickets which are being snaffled quickly.

Terrible tragedy with news of the latest multiple shooting at the showing of the Batman movie in Denver, Colorado,  looks as though these lunatics are trying to make a name for themselves with bigger and assaults on the innocents.      Just frightening to think that someone might be contemplating the same for the UK during the next few weeks during the Olympics -   with current ticket sales no point in them coming north to Hampden Park for the football  !!  BUT  seriously lets hope that despite the shortcomings of the G4S people (now known as  G4nothing) that the public work together with the Police and Army to make the event memorable and enjoyable.
This is more than can be said for the members of the Borders Agency, and train drivers who are going to stage walk outs at Heathrow Airport , and between London Luton and St Pancras Station -

Spotted a neat little earner for someone during the Olympics - the Games Canal Boat service - to beat the traffic -  only £45 return   -  you must be joking (but that does include a free drink) !!!!!   So, if you manage to run the gauntlet of the flocks of pickpockets, thieves  and conmen - you then face crowds, traffic jams and the unscroupulous boatmen - real life pirates on the Thames
