the edinburgh cleaning lorry incident
at first it wasn’t clear what i could see, but i knew it was going to be good:
a rival white cleaning company wanted to stop the green cleaners from cleaning their patch. rather like the great ice-cream wars, these chaps are fiercely protective of their patch
in the end the chap from the white van ran out and physically stopped the green one from going any further.

i think it looks better from the inside
camera obscura
if you are in edinburgh on a sunny day, you must go and see the camera obscura. it’s quite fantastic, especially the bit where you can lift up cars etc..
here’s the town
and here it is with the light on
up a hill
i walked up a hill in edinburgh yesterday afternoon just before sunset and got this nice silouhette of a person. he took the same kind of picture for the person ahead of him and so it goes on.
binoculars(s)
binoculars are one of those words which are fun to abbrev(iate). in our family we call them ‘binos’, whilst kezia calls them ‘oculars’. we have some friends who call them ‘binocs’
whatever they are they are quite fantastic and it would be good to spend one day a month wearing them instead of normal glasses.
bru-bite
i thought a typical scottish drink would be lager and irn-bru. it wasn’t. and now i understand why.
harry potter’s platform 9 3/4
this is a great thing at Kings Cross station. How long would it have taken them to set this up, and how many smiles has it brought to the faces of people who pass it ?
i suspect there’s a high smile to investment ratio.
busted by the ticket man
there’s something quite funny about this pen scrawled graffit on my train. we need some legal wipe-clean area on our trains where people can graffiti rather than doing it on the seat backs.
