I gave up
went off, fed the witchlets, did the hoovering, then the ironing, then cleaned the bathroom.

I came back and they're STILL at it.......

Just...
...bored.

Went to the pub, and I was the second person in there.

And that includes my girlfriend who works behind the bar.

Bah.

@ww
You did all that in one afternoon? Well done.
I can never be bothered to do all that.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 21 Aug 2008, 18:16, Reply)

I just realised that I'm leaving
My house at 8 tomorrow morning, and not coming home 'til Tuesday night.

Did I do laundry? Did I fuck.
*cries*

I did all that in about an hour ....

It's how I stay thin - perpetual motion.

:-)

edit: Kaol, lovey, bring it here. I'll have it done in no time.

Then somewhere, somehow, we lost the message along the way...

Now the stars, they are all angled wrong...
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn...

...and still we await the changing of the QOTW...

Haha, thanks TWW

I could put a load in now, but we don't have a dryer, and it's raining.
So... People need to forgive me for my soiled appearance on Saturday.
I'll make up for it by turning up shit-faced.

It's going to
change at 10 so I understand.

As for chillaxing, I'm trying to get my voice working.
Got a few hours of singing ahead of me tonight and I've got a nasty cough.

Tin foil.

Oh, and lots of AA batteries.

Get re-building!
( Cawl, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 18:40, Reply)

Is it still going over there?
I'm afraid to look.

I nipped off and wiped over the lounge floor, dusted, turned the sofa cushions and tidied. I'm really bored.

Edit: for the "Kaol re-building project" I'll throw in some random unidentified cables which have resided in the tool box for quite some time, a 12 volt charger and some gaffer tape.

because I clicked on Wookiee's story thinking it would make him like me and when he discovered he'd made it to the 'best of' page, he gazzed me and shouted, 'IN YOUR FACE' at me.

Oh Weewitch while you're here
Mr Bin and I are thinking of taking a trip to Edinburgh.
However we can only go over the summer holidays. My question is this: Is Edinburgh best avoided in August due to the Festival?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:13, Reply)

@weewitch
Mmm cake nom nom! Want some icecream?
(weekirst23 Is broken! Silly ice. Silly High heels!, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:17, Reply)

I'm not bad TWW
Only 6 days left at work, which is great. Can't wait to be free.

It was a bit sunny here too, and a bit warm for the huge coat I was wearing.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:21, Reply)

Mrs L
Yes. In a word. Yes.

August is a bit of a 'mare for those of us who call this old town home. If you can get here another time, actually May is good.

Statistically, August is our wettest month of the year, and May is usually the driest! I can't remember how I know that, but that amount of the wet stuff that's fallen this month convinces me it's true!

Plus, all the hotels and B&Bs fill up pretty quick in August and charge full rate. Better chance of a last minute bargain in off season. If you don't mind the cold, December's usually excellent as there's a lot on in town (funfair on Princes Street, ice rink in the shadow of the Castle etc).

Anything you need to know, give me a shout - always happy to boast about my town!

Edit: just re-read your request - first two weeks in July are the local "trades" fortnight and the start of our school holidays. This means that local attractions can be a bit busy, but nowhere near as bad as August. I don't do the Festival I'm afraid.

Hello!
I nearly had a dicky fit a minute ago. I thought it was 10pm. I had set my clock wrong. Phew! I have time to chew the fat on here now.
( girlinthehole, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:36, Reply)

You guys have a rink in shadow of the castle?
I'm jealous. Ours is in George Square, and is generally rubbish. I may come across this year to have a go.

My stomach seems angry with me. Hmm.

Crap.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:37, Reply)

Thanks WW
I think the last to weeks of July might be better.

I may take you up on your offer of information.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:46, Reply)

PoD
it's not directly under the castle as such, it's in East Princes Street Gardens. Which is down-and-to-the-right-a-bit. But still described as "in the shadow". They also have reindeer there. Did you know that reindeer poo smells worse than horse poo?

Honesty, the things I know!

Edit: welcome, Mrs L. Gaz me anytime.
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:49, Reply)

I know where the gardens are
I have wandered there many a time when I was but a mini-penguin. We also only have reindeers made of christmas lights, not real ones.

Saw some up cairngorm once though. Their barks are amazing.

Love Will Tear Us Apart

No, not a premonition of upset, but a song suggestion. I am exceedingly crap at guitaring, but I made up a version of this I could sing to - much slower and simpler.

Basically, I take songs I like, old stuff, chart stuff, whatever, download the chords and make up my own, slower versions.
( thealternativefact, Thu 21 Aug 2008, 22:15, Reply)

Cheers m'dear
Good idea. I want to record some acoustic stuff and generally practice more.

Perhaps perform at places and make some money? Who knows.

It would be like some sort of gig.

Would need to get a better acoustic guitar though. Mine is fine for ceilidhs, but lacks many things.

I am so not cut out for training.
I'm training our new temps at the moment, and one of them is brilliant - picks up what she needs to do in about five minutes and never needs to ask me anything unless she can't find what she needs. The other is the opposite, and sometimes I don't have a reason beyond "that's just the way we do things here". I'm amazed I have this much responsibility and I don't know how much longer it'll be before I twat her one. Especially as they're earning £3 an hour more than me for less work! Can I borrow a Robokaol?
