Walter walter everywhere

Well, not exactly. But Sir Walter Scott has been restored to his rightful position on the main stair now that the painting there is complete. Sir Walter was a frequent visitor to the Spread Eagle due to his work as a judge at the court in Jedburgh.

Two new supermarkets opened in Galashiels recently. Asda opened a couple of weeks ago and Tesco opened last week. Despite being a new building costing £ nmillion (where n is a large positive integer) I see from the local newspaper that they had problems with a leaking roof:-)

The public bar's busy tonight and, as the more perceptive of you will have noticed, I'm not working there tonight. Yay! I do like working Saturday evenings because it's busy, but equally it's nice to get an evening off once in a while.

Meanwhile we've been wasting our free time here. Very addictive!

Apologies if you have not been able to do this. I switched to Blogger Beta a few weeks ago and noticed today that you have to explicitly allow comments on each post. I wondered where Aarlene had got to!
