Another month almost over and it has been quite eventful. Started month by walking over the new Queensferry Crossing , won a bit of a lottery to do so as the bridge has no pedestrian access, the bridge featured today too as today was the first time I drove over it! Certainly it is quite an impressive structure, should last for a few decades.Was quite active this month, did a lot of walking, mostly to Kirkcaldy and back, but on Monday Tavis and I walked from Kincardine to North Queensferry (in the shadow of the aforementioned bridge), was a long stretch and there was a bit too much road walking for my liking, also the pubs weren't up to much, hardly a decent beer to be had. Even managed 3 visits to the gym this month, mostly run on the treadmill to be honest, though I do use a couple of other machines.
Work has become quite quiet, been off this week and I sure don't miss it. My days off were fine-until Thursday. I had intended to go to Edinburgh on Thursday, but my neighbour downstairs was at my door just as I was about to leave. There was water cascading down through her light into her bathroom, and the kitchen and hallway too. I switched off the water for both flats then came to the conclusion that my new shower was to blame, the workman Donny had messed up. Called him, he was in Spain, will be speaking to him upon his return tomorrow evening, he should hopefully be here to repair it all on Monday, we will see. Am pissed off that it happened- emergency plumber showed me one of the connections at back of shower unit had come out. Would have been an even greater disaster had my neighbour not been at home, as there was no indication anything was wrong in my flat!! In a nutshell I have to use another flat for showering at the moment and my happiness at the expensive new bathroom has gone.Will soon be putting my glad rags on, am invited to a wedding reception in Aberdour tonight, will go to the Auld Hoose here first because Annie and Gordon are due to visit the pub today, also I have to convince Davie Specs to come with me as our partners cannot make it.
Here are a few photos taken this month, one is of the part that failed at back of shower, the emergency plumber who stopped the leakage had to destroy one of the new tiles :-( , one is of me at the bridge walking event, another shows me in Limekilns last Monday with the new bridge away in the background. The other is of Linda Gallacher, my old Sykes colleague who emigrated to Australia in 2008, met up with her for a pint or two in Kirkcaldy.
