Space odyssey

A bit pissed off because I cannot, at the moment, find my camera, nor can I get the phone's pictures on to the PC, isn't being recognized.

Month started off at the German beer festival tent in Kirkcaldy, where Tavis brilliantly avoided buying a roond on two consecutive days. Had walked along both times in the new leather walking boots I'd treated myself to in Edinburgh a few days earlier.

Later in the month it was off to Holland on the ferry for a few days, the ferries and accommodation I got free because of work, not bad. The weather was great, had a trip to Amsterdam where I sampled a space cake, as tourists do. No effect at all until finishing a pint in the red light district, when, all of a sudden, I thought I was about to die, my dying thoughts being "oh great, here I am surrounded by prostitutes, rent-boys and pickpockets and I'm about to pop my clogs.." I could almost imagine the headlines..

Still, I managed to retain consciousness, just. Managed to somehow get a train, then a bus back to where i was staying, even after 12 hour sleep I was still woozy, so no more coffee shops for me from now on!!  Managed also a trip to Den Haag, a nice place.

Been back at work for a while now, things are quiet, winter looms.

Hopefully I will add photos to this once I can..Ahhhhhhhhhh now I can add some phone photos!!
