Sir Andy, look to the future.

Young Andy Murray has sensibly declared that he may be retiring shortly following a long struggle to recover from his hip injury and surgery.  No point in him trying to struggle on,  I am sure that he will be respected for his decision and once he gets re-organised we may see him guesting of programmes like  Question of Sport, etc.

Weather still looking not too bad so far,  every clear day is a bonus, just unfortunate that although the European ski resorts are getting the requisite snow, they are now getting too much, to the extent that there have been a number of deaths due to avalanches.        Nearer home we have had the first of this years deaths on Ben Nevis when a young female student fell five hundred feet.  Folks just do not appreciate haw fickle and evil Scottish weather can be, especially in the hills.

Quick comment,  I have just been down the street and was stopped on the way back at pedestrian lights, being operated by a school crossing patrol officer, who sadly was hardly capable of crossing the road herself !!   Why, when the local council is cutting back are they paying these SCP officers to cover crossing which already have lights. In ten minutes time they will have gone home and stragglers will cross the road unassisted as they do for most of the time. 

Finally,  was watching Good Morning Britain, and today, like every other day we change channel whenever Andy peters comes on to advertise these morning holiday competitions, why , oh why ? do they need to pay someone to junket around the world advertising these things. IT just proves how much money they are making from them,
