Wednesday 2nd August 1972



With the pick-up being so important to his business Douglas had managed to get the van repaired yesterday so the two of us were back out on the usual run together. We had a good wee blether; Douglas is dead interesting especially about his great passion the railways. He’s dead knowledgeable. 

Gaga dropped by at lunchtime; it’s the butcher’s Wednesday half day so he gave Paul Forbes and me a lift down to Meadowbank. I tried out the hurdles which was quite good fun; there was a German girl down and I was speaking away with her; her English is better than mine! 

Back at Oxgangs I settled down in front of the telly; Sportsreel was on with Hibs beating Rangers 3-0 in the semi-final of the Drybrough Cup; possibly a bit of an upset but a great result for the Hibees.
