Capital Punishment

This month started off with a night in the capital Edinburgh, courtesy of my home insurance company, so off we went and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately the mussels and oysters had a wicked effect that lasted a few days..
  
A few days later and it was back to Edinburgh again, this time to see Dame Edna on her farewell tour, had tickets near the front but luckily I wasn't called up onto the stage like a couple near me were! About 3 days later it was off to Edinburgh for a third time, this time for a music concert in the HMV Picture House. Shame this was on a Sunday though, as I always had the worry of missing last train - it goes about 10.30 from the so-called world city, a tad too early in my opinion.

Rest of the month didn't feature Edinburgh, work is going ok but things are very quiet, it means the days drag on forever, especially if on backshift. These dark mornings and early evenings are also affecting my budgies, they are not too lively when there is no light so sometimes I don't see them flying about at all. They are loud as hell today though, driving me insane they are!

Just back from a night in Lundin Links, a wee treat as I have this coming week off. Had a few good ales in the Railway Inn and a meal in the Crusoe in Lower Largo. Hopefully I'll not waste the week completely like I did last time I had a week off, maybe I'll head to Edinburgh yet again to see what the Xmas market is like. Also have other  mundane things to sort out and maybe I'll look along to the new Morrisons that will open on Monday.  

Have no major Xmas plans, though I'll have to show face in the Auld Hoose to see if I've won anything in the raffle. Whether I'll see any of the family at that time remains to be seen. What does "family" mean now?

Photos show me looking into very dirty mirror on day of Hendy's funeral, a deadly but tasty dish of mussels, Bea outside the Railway Inn in Lower Largo, and my kids Robbie and Stasi.
