Just where does time go these days.

This morning on my way to Whitecraig I stopped to take this photo of the new recycling plant near Monktonhall,   just appealed to me with the sun shining on it and such a dark sky at the time.

Anyway,  as usual have found it difficult to make time to write a few words.    So,   while tiding the garage this afternoon I listened to the tennis on the radio and it was good to hear Team GB winning at the Emirates Stadium, Glasgow, to qualify for the next round of the Davies Cup, which does not take place till next year.

A congratulations in order to Nigel Finlay at Stags PH , Musselburgh , for winning this years prestigious CAMRA Award,  well deserved, as it is a real drinking "persons" pub, good selection of real ales, etc.

Yesterday, heading (on the teed of Steel) for the Half yearly meeting of the Provincial Royal Arch Chapter of Mid and East Lothian, (at Currie) I was passed three times by six motorcyclists on sports bikes, first time on bad bends, second time they passed a long line of stationary cars on double white lines, and the third time on the A720 City bypass.  Hate to say it, but their style of riding did not impress either me or the folks they passed,  not a great advert for the biking fraternity.

Just biding time now for our weekly dose of the "Bodyguard",  a brilliant piece of TV drama.

This Brexit carry on is a real pain in the bum, getting to the stage, as I have said in the past,  that we will be badgered and badgered time and time again until certain elements of the so called establishment get their own way (and for their own benefit).  very similar to lawyers in the USA who keep looking for professional witnesses who will sway juries to their way of thinking.

First class Gin Tasting accompanied by an excellent meal at the Mercat Grill last night, six gins for tasting, good company, great night.

Afternoon worth thinking about,  HIT Dinner at the Sheraton on 2nd November 2018,    we were there last year when they raised about forty five thousand pounds for their training scheme.
