Snowdrop

I went on a snowdrop walk at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh and picked up a poem as part of the "Carry a Poem" event. I think it is a very sweet poem and complements my picture of the snowdrop rather well.

Touching the silver!

What an amazing sight and what a Valentines day!
We went out to watch the Round 2 cup tie of the Rugby League Challenge Cup - Edinburgh Eagles Vs Blackwood Bulldogs and came face to face with the Challenge Cup Trophy which is currently touring the UK to promote Rugby League (a far superior game to that of Rugby Union - in my opinion). It was quite an honour to get so close to the cup and made for a wonderful Valentines Day even thoug the Edinburgh Eagles sadly lost the match - the result was 16 - 28 which was a big shame as I would love to see Rugby League take off in Scotland.

Knit Graffiti

Here is an example of Knit Graffiti or Yarn Bombing I came across on Bristo Square in Edinburgh. This is a totally harmless form of graffitti and is, I think, actually quite good fun and really adds a bit of colour to the world. This is one of the more sedate versions as there are some much more creative examples -click on the following links to hear more about it;

Christmas Sparkle

These are the window displays at Harvey Nicols in Edinburgh, now that is what you call a Christmas display.

Gig!

I went to see the Enemy live with my pal Kel. We got pretty close to the stage but for our sins we now both have ringing ears. The gig was fabulous though, great night.

Life

I saw this at the local cowp and it reminded me of a quote I once heard, "life always finds a way"

The Tardis has landed

I was out in Glasgow to get a Tattoo on Saturday (3rd Oct) and saw this in Sauchiehall Street, it has previously been painted black but it seems in honour of the Dr Who exhibition at the Kelvingrove they have painted it in Dr Who colours. I think it's fabulous.
