But then everything is dreadful in Edinburgh

I once went to a book launch in Edinburgh, free drinks all night but only Champagne or Laphroaig I was in heaven, It is amazing how much of it you can drink if you really try .... jeff...

Spoken like a true Glaswegian .But then everything is dreadful in Edinburgh
I know someone who works for Avon (at their UK HQ.) She keeps everyone supplied with skin-so-soft.
We even saw it in the shops up there. As I say though we didn't need it - didn't see a single midge.
Dog booked in to kennels, ferry is booked, no hotels yet though. Must do that today, then we are all set for a week in England. All we need to book then is a week of sunshine .
First couple of days dangerously close to Watford, but I shall resist the temptation.

Surely , Gwyn, a trip to Watford is educational ?
Why deprive yourself of that

And the festival! don't forget the festival, and the fringe ... I've not been for years but I bet the fringe is bigger than the festival and gets more punters...jeff...

They don't even refer to it as The Festival now as most people think The Fringe is The Festival.
So it's now The International Festival, The Fringe Festival and all the others grouped as The Festivals.
In fact there are at least 11 major festivals now and the drive is on to create The Comedy Festival as a distinct entity separate from the Fringe.

Very educational. But I shall still resist. I don't really want anything at the mo, and it is better not to be led into temptation by the lovely Chris. Surely , Gwyn, a trip to Watford is educational ?

The trip is costing a lot as it is without adding to the strain on the Visa card .

I know what you mean though... Just had a rainy walk around Lancaster with Mr & Mrs HardGravity, I'm now waiting for the bottom of my jeans to dry before I take my shoes off...
Whatever my Dad's got in the house...

Reminds me of a short tale :-
The bad news is the lawn needs cutting.
The good news is the mowers out there somewhere.

Back from Lanc's, all hands on deck getting ready for this evening.
The neighbours are coming round for the evening...
......beer's ready, wines in the fridge and on the side...
..........meal's almost ready, just the salmon to cook and the pudding to do...
...........tomorrow may well see a sad HG, hangovers do that to a person!
...and I get that message on the works system regularly, what is 'code 404' anyway?

Midges not a problem, Avon Skin-so-Soft sees them off. In fact it was so dry up in the NW Highlands last summer, I didn't even have to use it. Funny thing is, Garry, they were dreadful in Edinburgh!
