George Hood, RIP : Lily the labrador, and !

Appears to be nothing but bad news these days,  no one can ever get used to hearing about death, in view of the numbers being recorded daily due to Covid (over 5100 today).  However, alongside this we still have to deal with the death of friends who have passed for various  other causes.    Tonight I was informed that George Hood,  Chairman of the Musselburgh and Tranent Pub Watch, had died..  George has been the driving force of the Pubwatch, not only in the East lothian area, but had attended numerous meetings throughout the UK to advise on how new schemes could be started and on best working practice. He was an extremely "colourful character" who will be sadly missed.  RIP George. 

Still doggy sitting for Lily, who has been wasted tonight,  mince and tatties followed by ice cream !!!   She is resting at the moment so a bit of a toss up to see who will take her for a walk later, considering that it is now snowing.

More examples of the rip off practices by companies digging into the trough of funds being made available during this Covid pandemic.  Current uproar ivilves , so called catering firms, tarked with supplying food to prepare meals for youngsters who qualify for school dinners.  A total disgrace when you see many of the photographs of the food stuffs supplied.  It is a shame that it has taken a young footballer,  Marcus Rashford MBE, to highlight the problem.   

Pity the likes of the Prima Donna, Lewis Hamilton, could not do something similar !!   a hypocrite if ever there was.

So far we have not seen particularly many of these mega rich sporting stars digging into their off shore accounts to help out.
