Hedgehog arsed quiz winner

 Well it's the last day of August already and the month has gone fast. I was still signed off with my arm for the first couple of weeks, actually until 20 August, have been in a few times since, including late shifts on the last weekend and Monday. I know I'll have to escape the place at some point before Xmas as I will no doubt be given the shittiest shifts. 

I made my 200K target, but only made it today, too many lazy days I'm afraid with too few walk/run marathons. Weather was ok for the most part, even got round to painting shed, and had a repair done to it, also the windowsill by Stewart the handyman. 

Edinburgh was visited 3 times I think, took in a few Fringe shows, including "Are you being Murdered?" and the musical version of Making a Murderer (based on Netflix docu that is excellent). Don't think I've been so often to Edinburgh in the last few years. Prices in the pubs are a joke though, one beer in the Hanging Bat we ordered was £8.30! Nice though.

This blog is slowly becoming a list of health related afflictions, so I will not disappoint, had a major arse issue earlier in the month, I'll not go into detail, but it was like a spikey creature living up your rectum, eventually it passed, but not nice, again, no details. 

Was at a quiz at the Auld Hoose last night, won the top prize of a large steak pie which I am planning on eating in a couple of hours, not many participants to be sure, but it's funny the useless information I have stored, including all the names of the Osmonds..

Just booked a flight to Germany, will be first time in 4 years, since Franzi's Berlin wedding, amazing really as I always used to go 3 or 4 times a year. Risked booking with Bastard Air so we will see if the flight actually goes! Still, hope to visit a few friends I haven't seen in a while. 

The first photo was in my private coastal place having visited Morrison's for a few tins, the other is of Burntisland Parish Church, I got a tour of the place a couple of weeks back, was christened there. In the graveyard, mostly ancient graves, I found the resting place of a school friend I roomed with during a school trip to Austria in 1981, died aged 24. Makes you think, why worry about insignificant things or carry feuds on, we are all going in the same direction.
