18th October 2013 - Another week goes by

Friday, wet and warm. Early trips to doctors and shops and post offices and petrol stations...
No need for Central Heating again , which is just as well as the next traunch of energy companies take the opportunity to state their own 10% hike in costs.. The Government say "Just Switch" - but of course the reality is that all the companies are working to the same rates - just with different names and tariffs - so each will cost about the same in the long run...

Maybe one will turn around and do the obvious "here is £100 off if you come to us !!"

However, if I waited for the obvious I would be a very patient man - which I may not be - that much !!

So, instead, today was a day for ceremonial and ritual. Don't often mention on this medium, but today I had the privilege of being installed into the Chair of Thrice Illustrious Master in the Order of Royal and Select Masters of England and Wales and its Districts and Councils overseas, (for the second time !!!)

There is a rumour that I may get it right this time.

Whichever way it may go - the high point of the evening was Susie providing a tea and coffee, but more important her very special home-made Welsh Cakes - which are beginning to get a reputation of their own among Masonic Circles ...   Was interesting to see how they disappeared while the Tesco own-brand economy biscuits seemed to pale into insignificance  on the adjoining plate.....

So another busy day - Installation and ceremony completed - and a wait until April for the next meeting - but time enough to work upon the requirements....

So, the end of a day, and an early start tomorrow again .. But Kilt garbed tomorrow... An opportunity to wear the Highland dress should never be missed - and I will be getting a lift from friends by the Hendy interchange on the M4 tomorrow - so there will be the sight of  a strangely garbed, kilted hitch-hiker on the roadside waiting for his lift...   Ho Hum !!!!

So - decided to change my profile picture today....



Better have a scotch methinks !!!
