No fear of a hose pipe ban yet - rain once more, and with temperatures dropping we may well be in for more snow. Made for a bit of a miserable day off, however, as we ended up at the Almondvale Centre, Livingston, no problem, it is a wonderful Centre and with such a brilliant facility it is no wonder that the shoppers stay away from the City centre - I certainly enjoyed my wander, just a shame it was a Friday afternoon which is one of the busier days there.
Great excitement, one of the Edinburgh trams actually carried passengers today - BUT from the depot at Gogar out to the Airport and back - which happened to be the easiest section of the track to construct with no complications like the City sections. Could become a new tourist attraction !!! maybe, but still no benefit to the long suffering traders.
Not sure what to make of the Daily Record today who published a photograph sent to them by a convicted murderer from his prison cell, complete with a rough transcript of his threats against fellow prisoners, were they condoning his actions ? or by openly publishing his messages, the prison authorities are now aware of his possession of an illegal mobile phone and will hopefully have carried out a serious search of the jail, and if they were lucky will have found other phones and even weapons which will have upset his fellow cons.
So much for Amazon's on line shopping with guaranteed delivery dates, still waiting after three days for something I could have collected at Machine Mart !!! or Screwfix - on line shopping slowly destroying our walk in shops. - latest victim being Thomas Cook,
Afraid to say the petulant Justin Beiber, has now outgrown his boots and joined the ranks of the overrated spoilt brats, talentless prima donnas, who do not deserve the public adulation which they thrive on,
Have recently completed a distance learning module on the computer, allegedly capable of being completed in one hour, so two and a half hours later - done - but will probably need to do it again to try and ensure that I have understood it, then again I might just read the hand book of instructions.
Big game tomorrow - Scotland V Wales at Murrayfield, all the best to the boys, here's hoping for a good days business, however, if the Police, Council, and tram works live up to their recent expectations we can guarantee to be the loser once again. So if you see a sign advising to shop in Edinburgh's West End Village, you have witnessed yet another waste of public money.
Never mind, Mother's day on Sunday and one thing is certain, we will not be letting the good ladies down who come for lunch at the Mercat Grill.
