I am kicking off again along with the Six Nations, and so far so good

Twenty one minutes into the start of the new tournament and Scotland, despite being hammered in the scrum, are currently fourteen points ahead. Two tries and two conversions, so keep out the scrums and play the ball.   Spoke too soon, Ireland just scored a try so looks like we are in for a good game.

So , no blog since December,  primarily because I lost all interest following some criticism and obviously no one is particularly interested when all I am doing is commenting about the weather, etc.   so where will I start today.
Maybe with the weather,  quite a nice day,   but with everything happening at the moment, not going to manage a run on the Steed of Steel,  maybe tomorrow.     If I do it will just be to get the Steed to a pick up point as there is a wee problem with the rear brake needing fixed, and also time to change rear tyre,  not to worry, Andy Mimms from Border Bikes is on the case and all will be remedied quickly.

Heart of Midlothian FC  just won a game of football again today, which must be a big relief for their fans, hoping that the new manager was not struggling in his new post.    

New stand at Tynecastle now underway, and as my friend Mr Black told me the other day, he was quite excited to see the "truss" being lifted into place,  which I suppose for Heart's fans is as big an event as the final section of the "Queensferry Crossing" (the third Forth Bridge) being slotted into place yesterday. Probably need a couple of planks needed to fill in the gap, if there is one.
Surprised our Nicola (first minister and brunt of a brilliant Tracy Ullman show last night) was not there for a selfie !!!,  But then she is far too busy acting  as a mentor, and probably writing her column for the Daily Record to get on with running the Country.  She will be sitting in Bute House, spitting nails and sticking pins in an effigy of Theresa May following the latest revelations on Brexit.

Half time,  21  -  8  for Scotland.   Well done to Stuart Hogg for now being the all time highest score trier for Scotland.
