Losing track of the days, think it must be Thursday , and just back in from a RA meeting at Gorebridge where Sparky Mark received honorary membership of the RA - well done. Been busy but with little to show so far, tired but still standing and feeling much better than several months ago.
Had a wee run or two out on the Steed of steel, short runs but pleasant taking the back roads around Temple, Gladhouse and Portmore , easy to get lost but scenic and intersting.
Mercat Grill doing well, and as usual, new faces every week, some tourists , but lovely to see the locals returning after several years absence.
Super article in the new edition of Police World, the IPA magazine, about our trip to Europe and the Dolomites with the Scottish Motorcycle Touring Group in June this year, penned by our own Tom McInally, who sadly will be leaving us soon to relocate in the south west of France.
Had a brief visit from my Best man, Graeme Mackay, bearing venison and trout, looking well despite having a fall and ending up on crutches, bit older than me ( 10 days) still working very hard and refusing his bus pass !!
Ladies had an excellent trip to Amsterdam, one of the mini cruises from Newcastle, great three days, train to and from Edinburgh ( thanks to Allison and Russell), weather was good, bus and barge tour of Amsterdam - nice wee breeak for the them.
RGB back from China where he, along with Brian Maynard and Brian Millar, did their 100 mile walk along eight sections of the Great Wall - each day they walked a sectrion and then were driven for about three to four hours to a new overnight stay before doing the next bit - marvellous opportuity to see rural China, live with families , (use the loal community latrine - poo - pongy) but at the end of the day they raised £12000 for Clik Sergeant charity.
Many many returns of the day to our friend Paul Douglas who was 60 last week and retired last week. He has bought a beautiful new two berth caravan - owever, nice as it is, he joins the multitude of tortoise people" who I was always harranging for holding up traffic when I was on my routine runs South on the motorway.
Andy murray doing well again at the tennis, might pop in for a coffee at the Cromlix Hotel next week on my way to Crieff next week, and with a bit luck get served this time. So far score sits at Cromlix 30 - Blaikie 0.
Must have been really excited writing the above as I fell asleeep and awoke at 2 a.m. computer on my knee !!!!!!
