A Hoy There.....

......Edinurgh's greatest Olympic Cycling Leg'end (actually, he's got huge leg ends) proudly paraded open top through the capital to an appreciative audience this afternoon. The Golden Bus contained several other east coast Olympic and Paralympic champs and rousing cheers of pride from the burghers were the order.

Earlier, I queued happily in Wellington Coffee for a flat white whilst listening to the the dulcet tones of Scottish & British Lion legend Gavin Hastings, drinking tea and chatting behind me. His wife looked less impressed with his chat. There were sporting heroes aw'where in George Street as I rejoined Ross, Owen and Lin in the gentle September mizzle.

Since the weather has chosen to favour the morning with its best showing, Owen and I are now holed-up in the house with a root beer and hoppy beer respectively and a Sunday afternoon film seems the order.
