Oh My Goodness, where was the spell check and the sensible head?

Just reading the previous post and thinking to myself, who wrote this !! as some of it even has me wondering.  Now occurs to me that I wrote it while sitting outside the Spanish cafe listening to a local guitarist singing, and was being a bit rushed.  No excuse though.
Now back in dreich, wet Scotland wishing for a wee bit sunshine after the terrible downpour we have had for the last thirty six hours.    Never two days the same here.  We had a run across to the Binny's Nursery at Ecclesmachan, near Uphall on Monday and it was such a nice sheltered, secluded walled garden, no wind, so pleasant just to wander through the various areas appreciating the many plants. Mrs B. had met some of the staff at her recent visit to the Chelsea Flower Show where she was impressed with their displays.  The nursery is also the Scottish Bonzi Centre with some remarkable examples on display.
Happy bunny today as I was able to collect the Steed of  Steel which had been away having some work done on it by Andy Mimms at Border Bikes, really strange getting back on it after using the R1150RT for a few weeks.    Just a pity I am not back to 100% health yet so restricted to short runs meantime.
Locally, we are being told that the Edinburgh Trams are now making money!!  seems a bit of a coincidence especially when they are talking about extending the line again,  no mention of the massive interest charges on the original loan.
Very topical subject, being a motorcyclist, is the number of motorcycles being stolen in Edinburgh, many belonging to visitors, and with the thieving sods putting themselves on Facebook and showing off.  Certainly not good for the tourist trade.
Heading off to a wee games night at Tranent with some of the RA companions and friends, a social and charity fund raiser.
