Another day on the road, and things

Trying to chill out,  but after a long day with a fast run to Risley via Glasgow (twice) and a busy foggy motorway, my head is still scrambled.     SO, rather than go on about white van men, camper vans, etc,  I thought a picture of young Colin ploughing the field at the rear of the Mercat Grill on sunny Monday was more refreshing.   At the point of taking the picture he had just extricated himself and plough after getting stuck in a boggy bit of the field.   Modern tractors and ploughs certainly make life much easier -  I can  remember seeing fields here being ploughed by a man behind a Clydesdale horse, then the old Massey Ferguson tractors which were open to the elements.

Tuesday night managed to get to a meeting of 720 Dalhousie Bonnyrigg, where there was a fairly good attendance to witness a 1st Degree, 

Hospital yesterday morning nice and early, even bumped into a friend in the waiting room but as I was taken really quickly did not have a chance for a real blether - anyway, he might be there the next time I am in for the follow up tests.

Had the wee car up town with me and had forgotten again how bad the roads are, the poor wee thing was nearly shaken to bits on the cobbles which are getting worse and worse - no way are they ever put back the way they were  - BUT -  I did see that the tram rails are on the verge of being joined at Palmerston Place -  however that does not mean that they are any closer to being finished or even trying to move the barriers a bit.

News from chilly Westshester , PA, that the rugby team run are coming over on 9th June for a trip to Edinburgh -  something to look forward to.

Mother's day on Sunday, good crowd booked in to the Mercat Grill already.
