My new favourite singer: Elliot Smith (the perfect soundtrack for wandering around the ancient city of edinburgh. do you know how many famous people are buried here?)
My new favourite actor: Raoul Bhaneja (who finally, after all these years, showed me why people are so into this shakespeare guy)
My new favourite theatre company: rotozaza http://www.rotozaza.co.uk/ (who drove me around edinburgh for 45mins in one of the greatest experiences of my life http://www.auroranova.org/phloxAntigram/event.php?eventNr=138&Kategorie=&tt=1184529712)
My new favourite city: Edinburgh (who showed me that it is possible to be even more beautiful when its raining - the city that is, not me. My hair still looks frightful)
Oh, and they spell it E-D-I-N-B-U-R-G-H (not eden borough, not edingburg, not edinboro)
End memo.
this is not adam smith's grave.this is a pavestone leading to adam smith's grave.
the real gravestone wasn't nearly as poignant, so i didn't take a photo.
this is my arty goth shot of edinburgh old town - pity i can't be bothered figuring out how to rotate the image. but imagine it is the right way up - wow. spooky. intense.
would you like some condiments with your fatandcarbs ma'am? (p.s. the green stuff is mushy peas. i was mildly disappointed to discover it tastes just like... mushy peas)
most of the time edinburgh was busy....
... but i still managed to find some quiet spots.Cries colette
"o solitude of my young days! you were my refuge, my panacea, the citadel of my youthful pride"
actually, it's not like that at all - where my fellow pub goers?! I NEED YOU!
