Still, have been to Edinburgh twice this month, the festival is on, first time we took in a show, a murder mystery thing. We met up with our companions in the Potting Shed, after the show we headed to Ushers..then the Brauhaus in Tollcross. The other visit to Edinburgh was on Friday, went with all good intentions to catch this show or that, started with a wee drinkie in the Guildford Arms, then we decided to check out the Cumberland, oh we thought, we could go to the Cambridge Bar on our way to a show, then it was a wee pint in the Oxford Bar, then the Bow Bar in the Grassmarket..before I knew it we had had a pizza and were having one for the road in the Hanging Bat, so much for my cultural intentions! To quote Burns "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley".
Work has been going ok, things are getting a bit quieter now that the main season is over. Did an all day shift last Wednesday, but then had 3 days off so I can't complain. Got one more Sunday shift this year to do, so things are looking up. Have a week off from about the middle of September, am heading to Glasgow (yeah, a rare visit to the Weeg!) to go to a concert, Oliver will be coming with me, so we'll spend a couple of nights through there.
Only managed one proper run this month, as well as one gym visit. Well, felt under the weather for a couple of weeks, a case of bad man flu according to colleagues, but feeling a bit better now. Just feel I need a holiday, indeed I did book a flight but that's not until December. Maybe I can get away for a few days in October, have a week off then too.
Fell out with a neighbour again this month, the same old thing, seagull feeding, so the creatures are begging for food from the early hours onward. I posted a masterpiece through her door and she's avoided me since. I mean if you want to feed the flying rats, go do it somewhere else. The wall of the car park remains a concern, we will all have thousands to pay, got an invoice from the council too, but I am disputing it, so we'll see what happens.
Kath has got herself another dog, a wee thing called Shadow, how she copes with full time job, 3 kids, and now 2 dogs, is anyone's guess. Haven't taken new dog a walk yet, but no doubt I will soon.
Oh, I visited old colleague Kathrin in hospital, she's in a bad way and hope she recovers well from the serious illness she has, puts things in perspective so it does.
Here are photos of Shadow, of a rare glorious day in Kinghorn, and my car park with a couple of scrounging seagulls. Until September!
