A fun filled week.

Yet another few days have zoomed by,  and of course we did get the rain (as requested) so most of the builders' mud has gone from the car park at the Dolphin.  New signs were supposed to be up on Tuesday, or was it Wednesday, or perhaps maybe Thursday -  but a sign of the times and British workmanship - we now hope that they will go up on Monday when the Dolphin will change name to the Mercat,  sister pub to the The Mercat Bar in Edinburgh, which as you know is still under siege by the "Blessed" tram works.
Still no progress in getting the wee Smart car fixed,  seems that the mechanics at Mercedes who my friend spoke to have never come across this particular fault -  makes the car perfect for a learner driver, to be able to sit with the engine running, pop it into and out of gear and car goes nowhere - but the heater works !!
Been busy as usual,  made it to Lodge Dalhousie 720  on Tuesday night for Craig Gordon's greeting meeting - full house with about one hundred and twenty present -  Craig has done brilliantly well during his three years in the Chair,  he now deserves to be able to take a back seat for a while.
Out on Wednesday night after a day down here, and again, due to work missed the E Division retired Officers Dinner at Tranent - I am sure they had a brilliant night.
Long day today,   headed off for breakfast at BNI, and as usual a great session, just bouncing - from there to do one of my one jobs for a change so that was up till lunchtime - next, onto the computer - still trying to get mail to a client whose "Firewall/ anti virus does not seem to like me-  then down to Loanhead for the meeting of RA Honor Concorde and Fidelity,  309 -  small group,  but the candidate was someone who I had known as a "wee laddie" when his father was my first Boss here in Scotland - and he is certainly not a wee laddie now- 6'4'' at least.  And now down at the Dolphin putting the place to bed.
Back to the Airport Hilton tomorrow for my training day which will set me up for another evening back here - and on Sunday the darts team are doing a twelve hour darts marathon to raise funds for charity -  as a follow on to the £360 which we raised for Children in Need last weekend.  Must say that the customers are very good towards the various charities locally.
Have forgotton what a weekend is or the meaning of being retired.
