In need or therapy.

For some it has been a bit of a hair curling experience working with me !!!  Air has been blue as I try to come to terms with our so called British workmen  "cash in hand "  "up front", more cowboys coming out the woodwork here than in Texas !!  and hardly any of them capable of organising a "p*** up in a brewery".   That was nice - calming !!!   I was in Booker's once again today and wandering around  mentally sacking everyone who had been annoying me (not Booker's staff)  although I did have a bit of a debate over the prices they have been charging - compared to , dare I say it - "Tesco" ,   who are selling two, 250 gm tubs of Lurpack for £4.00  a brilliant saving of £1.56p over their 500 tub which matches Booker's  so where is the wholesale saving or is this proof that there is a cartelling of yet more items -  Lydl is the same.

Made it to RA 500  Laird O'Cockpen last night for  Sparky Mark's first night in the hot seat,  he did well and the Companions enjoyed a good wee session of harmony afterwards,  I even won the first prize in the raffle,  had the choice of four pies or a bottle of whisky - no prize for guessing which I took.

Absolutely beautiful morning today, cold and crisp with perfect lighting as the sun came up - but my sympathies do go to the many hundreds of families down South and in Wales who are still trying to cope with the horrendous flooding.   BUT there have been some incidents which are mind boggling -  the Landrover driver,  who having seen another Landrover being washed away decided to drive into the same ford, and wondered how he came to also be washed away and trapped -  hope his insurance does not pay up.  AND the flooded building which had been built over a piped in stream.  In the Bible there is a parable about the wise man building his house upon a rock, and the foolish man building his on sand - perhaps there are some builders, architects and planning officials who need to have a real look at their hair brained schemes.
Might even have calmed down a little more in the past twenty minutes.
