We are safely ensconced in the house of the hospitable ajax_nz in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has wireless broadband, much downloaded entertainment and a large flat screen tv. We need only leave to eat and meet people ;)
Beau and I are here primarily for Conpulsion, a scottish rpg con. The object is primarily to meet people (gamers) from around the british isles. Beau and I are crewing both days of the con. We will both get a free t-shirt! Morgue has already hooked us up with a party to attend tomorrow. We shall.
The weather hear is colder than that we have experienced so far in Ireland. Like Ireland, there are many spring flowers here. I have informed Beau that when we return to NZ I shall be spending a fair amount of money on bulbs to plant as I love the copious amounts of daffodils and crucuses found here. Also, bulbs are good in that you spend heaps on them once, but that they come back year after year. Awesome.
Edinburgh is pretty much awesome to look at. Multiple layers of old looking buildings surrounding a castle on the hill. Tomorrow we shall be doing touristy stuff. Today we stayed in pjs until almost noon. Ok, *I* stayed in PJs until almost noon, the boys were dressed before 11.
Beau was here a few years ago and visited with Morgue at the time. He is full of places we must go and facts from the Terror Tour he went on. I want to go on a Terror tour!!! Maybe after the con.
Beau told me I had to have Irn Bru, the traditional scottish soft drink. I think it tastes like Creaming Soda and that Sokky would like it. Beau thinks it tastes like fizzy bubblegum with a nail dissolved into it, but he remembers it from years ago and his memory may have exagerrated it in that time.
Time for us to go out and shop for dinner.
Point of fashion: as many layers as possible
Current obsession: Shoji screens
