Huffed and puffed and near blew the house down (greenhouse that is).

Having spent two days putting up this fiddly greenhouse at the Mercat Grill,I arrived yesterday morning to find panels missing and the structure about to take off.  Very hard to work on it in the wind, so ended up using the magic Gorilla tape to hold things together till the wind dies down long enough to reassemble it - buggerro.

Received a nice gift today from one of our customers, a beautiful walking stick, made from Hazel wood, with an antler top - thanks John, much appreciated and will be treasured.

RA Laird O' Cockpen last night,  Provincial  deputation, first class degree and now time for a break over the summer.

IPA motorcycle section arriving next Wednesday late afternoon and staying at Cameron Toll, Edinburgh for two nights before heading up to Aucheterarder to Castlebrae for another two nights. three days of bike trips organised, so it should be good. 

News from Nepal is getting worse every day with the death toll now over five thousand, rescue attempts in parts being hampered by bad weather and further avalanches.

Breaking news this morning that Edinburgh Airport plan to reroute their flight paths to enable more planes to take off - reportedly at the rate of ONE PER MINUTE,  so friends of the Earth and everybody and their  auntie are now jumping up and down.  So thinking about that, we might believe that sixty planes an hour will take off,  at that rate they will be queued all the way up the approach road onto the A8, maybe even out to Newbridge or further !!!!!   What a load of cobblers,  all they want to do is allow a few planes to take off at shorter intervals during peak times to keep the (flying) punters happy.  So once again we have the media escalating the situation.

Nearly as bad as the Politicians who daily dose of porkies are getting more and more unbelievable as we get nearer and nearer to the election - who are we supposed to believe !!   Because we will be treading on broken promises come the 8th .
