Sunshine and Wimbledon, strawberries, cider and what will they call the bridge

Sun is shining, again,  in fact it is a lovely morning - so being unable to sleep I have been pottering in the garage, moving things around to make a bit more room -     should be down at the Mercat Grill,  but having to work till late this evening decided that I need to do some chores here.

Andy Murray and Ms Robson in action today at Wimbledon, hoping to keep the flag flying - no doubt Murray Mountain will be packed with fans,   good luck.  Our strawberries and cream are much cheaper!

Heard it again, and again, and again,  must be the cheapest radio advert ever made -  for Richard F Mackay's furniture sale - which seems to have gone on for the past twenty years,  everything at half price, place shut last night while they swop the price tags around, etc,   same voice on the advert as always - so it must be the same original tape - surprised it is not worn out.

Alex (fishy) Salmond is announcing the name for the new bridge being built across the River Forth today -  Saltire Crossing, Queensferry Bridge, St Mary's  Crossing,  just have to wait and see -  I thought that the "Third Forth Bridge" was fine !!!

Busy again last night at the Grill,  guests from South Africa,  having a real adventure touring Europe,  Germans,  more Australians   ( Brisbane area) (Melbourne the previous evening),  new faces from the local community, and our regulars of course-  soon be needing to book to guarantee a seat.  "T" bone steaks and Sea Bass in great demand along with haggis cigars and Ann's fabulous meringues.  Even selling the  local Thistly Cross cider.

Missing young Grant@photogenix, who is in "Sunny Beach"  tasting the 79p pints, hope he is fit for work when he gets back.
Great anticipation as one of our regulars has ordered a new motorcycle,  all waiting tom see if it is Honda ;  BMW  or even a  Harley Davidson -  camera at the ready.

Had the "steed of steel" out the stable yesterday, and looks good enough today to do the same.
