9th day Saturday 11th March

 Stables Bar Mortonhall Camp Site

Quite a day. Dryers in laundry seem to be completely defunct - they may or may not be sorted next week, so meantime I hung up my wet washing on a line from the van, in the glorious warm afternoon sun. (Pleased to say they were virtually dry by evening.)

David and Diane arrived by cab at 12 noon in time for the reserved table for lunch comfortably opposite the TV screens for the rugby. Enjoyed several pints of Guinness or red wine and a few drams of malt, while we watched Italy 17- Wales 29 (sorry Italy) then England 10 - France 53 (least said about this one the best 😁🇫🇷) Good craic chatting to neighbours in the lively bar. 

D&D  got cab home at a reasonable time and as I write I'm still, less sensibly, chilling in the bar with a coffee and a final  nightcap of Glenmorangie. Cab booked for the morning, and (very shortly) I'll head back to my cosy van and pack an overnight bag for my one night at Motel One. Ready for Ireland at Murrayfield tomorrow, and hope Gregor Townsend's men are too. 🤞
