A whale of a meal to say the least.

Not been blogging much recently, however , tonight having treated myself to a fish supper I really have no option but write it up.   Detoured on my way home via Loanhead and bought one of Dino's Special fish !! And that is an understatement, it was a veritable mini whale, a treat and a half and well worth the journey.  NO wonder the haddock stocks in the North Sea are dwindling, what will we eat when supplies are reduced?

Busy week with three meetings of the OES, and tomorrow off to Falkirk to visit their Squaremen, first time for me as I have only ever attended the Mither Shed in Edinburgh over the years of membership.

Weather here so dammed unpredictable, one day sitting out the back getting a bit fresh air and sunshine, next, perishing ,  however not so bad as Alicante where they had a years worth of rain in two hours, must have been unreal, and tonight in the news a bit film of a young woman managing to escape from a mud slide in India.  And Mr Trump tells us that Global warming is a figment of our imagination.

Bit of banter and a good blether on Tuesday when five of my former colleagues met at the Mercat Grill for coffee and treats ,  Peter Ritchie, Alan Sinclair, Bill Todd, Ian Stevens and Brian Paton.    Peter,s good news being that he has signed a deal with a new publisher who is reprinting his first four books,  then once they are on sale, his fifth book will be published.  Well done Peter, plenty work ahead.

No rest for the wicked as they say,  dog sitting again as Lily the Labrador is coming to stay for ten day,  plenty of fresh air and exercise for me!!
