An idle moment at Heathrow-two hours to fill before the Edinburgh Shuttle. Lots of news to digest. England out to the Portugeese. Black flags over Hutton Castle Barns. Bloody Beckham more interested in featuring in Hullo than in playing football. Good news-France out to the God Damn Greeks. And the Wallabies about to play England. What a grudge match that will be. Teeth and blood galore over the Pitch.
Typical departure from a third world country. Changed my remaining Aussie Dollars for a proper currency in Melbourne Airport. Found to my horror on arrival in GOC* that the Sheila ic currency exchange had palmed me off with a tenner which was discontinued last year!
So now the pleasant culture shock of returning to the Borders. Be kind Mr Fish. Give some value for your MBE. It will be good to see green grass after the tired brown of Canberra.And all those strawberries,raspberries,goosegogs,black currants to pick and enjoy.And the triumphs of the Hutton and Paxton show to look forward to. Yes its good to be back.Or will be after Fife's Taxi.If I am spared.
*God's Own Country
