A largely quiet week at Cosmic Mansions which ended well with the warmest weekend of the year so far which meant mowing the lawn and a certain amount of reading of newspapers on a lounger in the sun.
Friday saw the final episode of Ashes to Ashes on BBC. I stuck [...]
So: where to begin?
We travelled down to Derby on Friday arriving to register around 7.30 in the evening giving us plenty of time to find where we were camping and set up and then head back to a pub to meet up with friends from other sides.
It was a good night – although it had [...]
I bought a bike today. I went along to check them out but found one that I liked and had the money sitting in a Building Society account so I bought it. I’m very pleased with it and will no doubt take some photos tomorrow to post here – when it has stopped raining.

I had a strange couple of days on Tuesday and Wednesday – I went down to London for a meeting by train (and the excitement level of the meeting can be seen from the extract of my notes reproduced to the right!).

Mons Meg went down to Selkirk yesterday for the annual Scott’s Selkirk celebrations. We danced in the Market Square -twice, on the stage up the County Hotel Pend, in the Town Inn Bar and in the Cross Keys. We had as good a time as last year – possibly slightly better because it was a [...]
Out last night for a Mons Meg crawl down Leith Walk! We had danced part of the Walk previously and so tonight we were aiming to cover off those parts which other dances had not reached, notably a couple which are in Edinburgh’s gay triangle.
We started in Mather’s at the top of Broughton Street [...]
Friday and Saturday were Mons Meg-heavy.
Friday saw us doing a tour of pubs from Newington inwards towards the centre of Edinburgh. We had never danced along there before and managed seven dances with three knock-backs (including one which I enjoyed – “Christ no! If you started dancing the customers would too..”).
The first dance, in The [...]
