Petang in the cold!! Wrap up warm.

Call them foolhardy or truely dedicated but the Penicuik Petang Club has resumed their training on a Saturday afternoon Using there purpose built rink on the site of the old putting green in the public park.  I popped along to watch on Saturday where a few hardy, and well wrapped up souls were playing.  Bit chilly and certainly makes a change from playing on a beach on the sunshine or in a shady town square in the South of France.  Used to enjoy playing when visiting Penicuik,s Twin Town in L’Isle Sur La Sorgue.     our own folks take it very seriously and there are a number of teams playing in Scotland.  A couple of players from Tweeddale stopped by to say hello.
Been very busy so my wee runs out on the motorbikes are kind of short and not too far from home, and with a cold snap forecast for the coming weeks are likely to be curtailed.  Both bikes coupled up to optimisers to avoid flat batteries.
Hate to say it but still seriously fed up with the Brexit carry on,  and as for Ms Sturgeon, she appears to be totally obsessed with this Indy carry on,  bad enough that she and her cohorts are allowing the place to go to rack and ruin, ie, Police Scotland and the NHS, for starters.
Fun in the USA with Mr Trump still at loggerheads with his Senate over his wish to build a wall between the USA and Mexico.  Certainly a massive problem with their illegals,  which is very similar to our own woes with hundreds trying to get over the Chanel from France.  
Sort of occurred to me that our Community Councillors get some sort of expenses, our local councillors get expenses and more, our MSP,s get paid, our MP,s get paid and our MEP,s get bloody well looked after, all from our rates and taxes!!   And still our MP,s cannot do what they were elect3d to do, carry out the will of and for the interest of the people.
Suppose it makes a change from moaning about cyclists,  but Prince Philip has stirred things up following his recent car accident down South.   I listened to another of the band wagon so and sos on the TV during the week suggesting that there be compulsory driving tests for the over 65’s,   Might not be long before someone else suggests compulsory euthanasia for the over 80’s !!  The nanny state is getting worse, we have the Vegan brigade trying to make us reduce our meat intake,  folks with all sorts of strange dietary habits.  
RA 500 tomorrow night with a new candidate joining us, hopefully the first of several.
