Back in time , our weekend in Wales finished off with another run out around the Welsh and English countryside along the border and then back up over the Horse Shoe Pass. The Ponderosa Restaurant was busy and there were about one hundred bikes in the car park. The local Traffic Police were out in force following yet another motor cycle fatality in the area the previous day.
They had the radar gun out to catch some of the real speed merchants. Headed down the Pass, but was surprised to discover that it was really only one bend, which was pretty tame compared to the Dolomites.
Evening meal, bit of an improvement as we ended up in the local Wetherspoons pub, decent bottle of wine and a Sunday roast.
Monday morning, headed north, homewards and managed to avoid the many "scattered showers" which were dotted about the country. Five hours, sore backside due to the burst air cushion, never mind it has since been replaced, excellent service by the distributor.
Busy as ever at the Mercat Grill, big clear out so as usual yours truly is being kept on the hop.
Not a good advert for Edinburgh when three German tourists had their motorcycles stolen from Grove Street by some of the Pilton yobs, who were spotted on Facebook with one of the bikes. No wonder that my companion over the weekend , Graham, would not go and leave the bikes unattended - but a poor advert here for Edinburgh.
As predicted, trams have been halted twice so far due to traffic incidents in Princes Street, no way to detour a large tram full of pensioners on a free jolly to the airport with their bus pass..
World Cup football has been not too bad, although the Holland v Argentina game was kind of boring, unlike the Germany v Brazil game which showed how the game should be played. No diving, no heroics, lots of skill, to prima donna players, just good old fashioned skill - hope they repeat their tactics in the Final.
Finished the cardio rehab programme, only have a final assessment to complete next week.
