"Did yer knor I'm part dragun?"

Another trip to Edinburgh this week, I had a ear full of olive oil and mild deafness in one ear that was a fine start.
But my midweek getaway was mostly made up of....
Tennents, Deuchars and Irn bru










Posh brats and yankies in the camera obscurer, The camera obscurer had five floors of weird photos and optical allusions, the roof had a near 360 degree view of the burgh well worth checking out. http://www.camera-obscura.co.uk/
Monster Mash has changed names and the brand has changed hands (seems the name and concept has been half inched) , herb sausage monster mash in the new gaff wasn't the same despite the identical menu something weren't right but I had a belly full of food none the less . Hope the newly christened MUMS still has the same lumpless mash, eh?













At the the Edinburgh museum we went to see the Lewis Chessmen, we little 12th century walrus ivory and whale tooth chess pieces from Scandinavia.













Twas good to be back up there, next time I'm gonna see Henry Rollins at the fringe
fucking exciting!
