Just talking about our bird box in the garden, after two years of no activity, we have plenty of activity and from the sound of things baby chicks in house. Wonderful to see the parent birds flying back and forward with food. My feeding hoppers are taking some hammering, needing topped up sometimes twice a day with plenty of visitors.
AND tonight the "Steed of Steel" was returned to the garage running like a wee sweetie, so pleased to get it back, now in a quandary as to whether I take the Steed to France next month, or take the "Time Machine" once the gearbox has been rebuilt.
The One Big Switch advert on the radio and TV, only needing 20,000 people to sign up, no obligation, then great discounts for your "leckie", what a load of cobblers, just another set of businessmen out to make a fast buck, Just a shame that the major suppliers could not give us the goods at a reasonable price instead of cartelling and allowing these guys the chance to get in there.
FIFA , well done, an expose of yet another bunch of corrupt officials in a world body, living it up, 5* lives, and corruption and bribery commonplace. As I said on FB, can you blame some of them when they see the prima donnas of the football world raking in obscene amounts of money, and TV companies paying enough to run a small country on what they are paying for the TV rights.
Big blurb in the Edinburgh Evening News about the trams, from the sound of things I think the Council must have bought the paper as all the news is praising the system and considering going back to the original plans to run the trams to Ocean terminal.
Came across an accident on the approach to Sheriffhall Roundabout (A720) this morning, tail end shunt, but instead of moving the cars to the side of the road, the drivers were "doing the business" in the centre lane and causing chaos. These days Police not interested at all in these minor prangs.
Talking of the "Polis" , yesterday morning I followed a young lady along the street, leather jacket, hair all over, black boots, black trousers, and a couple of carrier bags , busy texting as she walked - then I realised that she was a female police officer heading for the Police Station to start work, Big change from the days when you were proud to walk to work in uniform, Pressed tunic and trousers, polished shoes or boots , cap and a nice white shirt. AND Police Scotland are making a big thing on their current advert about how much the public respect the uniform - and also ( laugh up sleeve) how flexible the organisation is to the needs of its officers.
Bowling tomorrow at Dalkeith bowling club, annual RA event, so I need to get some air in my bowls if I plan on taking part!!!!
