Heres tae us,
Wha's like us,
Damn few,
And there a' deid.

Thanks Dave and also thanks to you all for your comments. Rich's Mum often related that ditty in your comments.
The weather has changed and our luck with it.Grey, drizzly and cold today. Packed up to move out of Livingston into Edinburgh. Richard took the car to the carwash - must admit it was dirty. Found our way into Edinburgh - oh dear also discovered that we should not have been driving in the bus/tram lane!! We were hooted at by a bus driver but we got there first! Arrived at Hertz and the car was inspected and they decided to charge us 137 pounds for a damaged tyre which had a bulge in it. It is a faulty product. Richard advised the inspector that he had been in the tyre industry for 30 years. We will claim it from our insurance but we know that Hertz will submit that tyre to the manufacturer for a claim on a faulty product, which will be replaced but Hertz are still double dipping!!
Met up with Anne McFeeters and Jean Stewart for lunch at the Royal (excuse me). Much chatter photos taken and others identified and they had a quick read of the book.
Then later on in the afternoon for a post office to send some books and things accumulated on this trip back home. Both suitcases are overweight. Several people doing the same thing - all to Oz ! We have been out and about looking for a bookshop, even a 2nd hand bookshop been through two shopping centres and round and about - zilch! Puzzling. We catch the plane tomorrow for Dublin.
