HARD LUCK, BONNYRIGG ROSE, AND MAYBE MORE.

No snow today,  all gone here,  mild but wet and windy so not really any better for getting out and walking.

Not very often I comment about football teams and especially those who lose,  however, I did sit and watch a determined Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic, lose narrowly to Dundee on Saturday night.   What a disappointment to Bonnyrigg who were winning with only ninety seconds to go,  however Dundee slotted in an equaliser just before full time and went on to win in extra time.   Being a friend of their Manager Robbie Horn I know that he was as gutted as his team, however, he was preparing for the expected clash on Tuesday with Kelty Hearts,  BUT  I believe all leagues, other than Scottish Premier have been stopped as of today.

Going to be interesting to see how Celtic get on tonight against Hibernian FC,  having to self isolate fourteen of their first team following one of the players testing Covid positive after their return from their trip to Dubai last week. 

On Chanel 4 News tonight, a comment about Boris being seen on a bicycle allegedly seven miles from home,  perhaps it is time some of our Lycra clad brethren were checked out, some  many more miles from home.     A couple found 120 miles from home, out to photograph seals !!!  Three carloads of friends heading for wales from the south of England to go hill walking.    

The lockdown appears at times to be a real joke, sadly the majority are doing their best to make it work,  but a reckless minority just do not give a toss.  Today, a driver whose passenger tested positive and whose isolated, turned up for work as normal and his supervisors allowed him to remain!!  

There appears to have been a bit of an uproar in the USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Bit of an understatement to say the least.  Seems that Mr Trump Caused a riot at the Capitol Building where five people died (one a Police office murdered by a demonstrator), and now I hear that a second Police Officer has since died.  Tonight it would appear that the Senate are attempting to Impeach Trump for a second time.  Man is a maniac and should be removed from post immediately.      A few days to go before Biden takes over, and then Trump's problems will really begin.  Seems that his two top golf courses are about to lose the patronage of PGA and the USPGA.

Oh,  and finally,  Tesco were charging £5.50 for their Lurpac,  a discount of £1.50 for Tesco Club Card Holders.    Seems strange how the price yo yo,s so much when Costco can keep it around the same price of  £5.49 / £5.70 for weeks on end.
