The European Games are over, back to normal.

Well,  looks like there will be no hose pipe ban here in Scotland, and some of the other parts of the UK which were at risk.  However, looks as though many farms are paying the cost of the heatwave with failed crops and little or no winter feed.

Not written for a few days as I managed to find a comfy chair and a TV to watch the European Games which I thoroughly enjoyed. Must say the all the competitors did remarkably well and although not all earned medals some  were very unfortunate.  With electronic timing and strict marking by the  judges, the differences between winning and losing was finite. Well done to Laura Muir, Eilish McColgan ( Daughter of Liz), and the sprinter Diana Asher-Smith.  Found myself bouncing up and down in time with the divers in the Royal Commonwealth pool, Edinburgh,   good to see Grace Reid win a Gold in her home pool.

Had planned on a wee run to Duns on Saturday, however not 100% so safer to stay at home than hundred mile run on the Steed of Steel.

Did manage a Royal Arch meeting at Lodge Liberton on Thursday night,  time to get back into the swing of things again.    This coming weekend there will be a commemorative service for the K.T.,s at Temple Village Kirk on Saturday morning with a meeting of King David of Ballantraddoch at Dalkeith in the afternoon.

Need to download the bike photos from my trip to Two Wheels but they are on another camera, still trying to get my feet into a new pair of boots as my Gold Tops ( only forty years old) are showing signs of wear and tear !!!    Even had a new pair of Gold Tops sent to try on but the new ones are a much slimmer fit in the leg, perfect in the foot,  but now I am back to the drawing board.
