Off the mark

Struggled to throw off a cold virus that set in just after new year but feeling a bit brighter now. Didn't even feel like blogging so it must have been serious ! Hogmanay was good, mildest for years I reckon and the narrow 1-0 victory over Hibs the next day was hard fought but deserved. The worst of the weather seems to have passed for the time being but there are still parts of Balerno that need snow clearing and gritting. I'm on the case. Currie Community Council meeting last night, not particularly well attended but managed to deal with a fair bit of local business. I hear Chinese Pandas are coming to Edinburgh apparently, seems to have caused a bit of a stir.
