Beauty By Kelvinbridge
Had a lovely afternoon out in the West End yesterday, by Kelvinbridge. Looked in this posh home decor place called Galletly Tubbs. Lovely stuff, but OH MY WORD – the prices! A place for window shopping ONLY, for us riff raff! Lol Then went and had some food at Sips And Baker further along the…
The Edinburgh Weekender Of New Gold Dreams (And Burning Gold Memories)
Where do I start? I don’t even know! Strap in – it’s gonna be a long one! FRIDAY: Friday, I guess, is the best place to start. In an exercise in preserving energy (and money), we (‘we’ once again being myself and Birdy) decided to set out fairly late on Friday afternoon. The plan had…

Some Fun By The Fringe
A review of the weekend will come. Probably not the biggest thing….we’ll see.

Off Topic: A Day Out In The City
I hadn’t been in the city since coming home from England after the Blenheim gig. And prior to that? For some time to hang out in there? Dunno when the last time was… the end of May, probably. My afternoon out with Michelle for her birthday. Promised myself a day in there all week while…
