Had a lovely meal with a friend at The Outsider today. I love that place and the prices are amazing. We each had two courses, a glass of wine and some chocolate truffles to finish and only £56.

The girl who does my nails has a puppy, 8 weeks old cavapoo. What a lovely surprise.

A large proportion of the British public, politicians & media were fine with the idea of breaking up families & deporting ppl who'd been there for yrs during the Brexit wars. Xenophobia is now mainstream. It would be criminally complacent to assume majority will oppose this shit in current climate.

Aaaaaargh Wing Stop Deliveroo don’t have the Korean sauce on their takeaway menu anymore. It’s my absolute favourite and I’m gutted it’s not there now. 😡😡😡😡😡

I’ve booked a Halloween ghost tour in the Edinburgh Vaults. Haven’t been on one of those since before the Pandemic. Need something to look forward to.

Theatre trip this evening. I hate timing buses because I do not like being late for anything so I always get to places far too early. Then it’s hanging around on my own for an age.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Why are we supposed to be on the side of racists now? How the hell did this happen? To embrace fascism? Does no one read their history books and see what happened? Are we also still supposed to commemorate the old soldiers or do we think they were wrong for fighting fascism?

The scenes in London yesterday were the logical end result of billionaires and politicians spending a decade pandering to the very worst instincts of the bottom 30% of the school class. And it will get worse.

Watched one of my favourite feel good films tonight, Julie and Julia. Lots of sad stuff going on in real life (news and family) so need an uplift.

We’re living in scary times. People need to wake the fuck up.

Love a wine glass with a short stem, so I saw this in Anthropologie and had to get it today.

youtube.com/watch?v=_h_2... I simply love Warren Ellis in every way possible. Talented musician, loves animals, effortlessly cool and gorgeous beard.

Love this book so much. A slow burner but a page turner.

Got strong painkillers for my sciatica but honestly they’re making me feel sick and sleepy. Think I’d rather have the pain from the sciatica. 😫😫

I know it’s early but going to cheer myself up looking at Halloween and Christmas stuff online.

My sister still in hospital after 2 months. Poor soul her advanced MS is causing this. Problems with swallowing and she is distracted and confused and not speaking much. It’s so sad.

Watching my favourite Tim Burton movie. Ed Wood. Martin Landau is wonderful in it.

Beautiful weather today. Had a lovely lunch outside Herringbone Abbeyhill, lamb rump with homemade gnocchi and a large glass of wine.

A whole lot of effort to distract from the EPSTEIN LIST.

youtube.com/watch?v=T8Fe... OMG this looks ACE.

I’m having one of those longings to be back in Berlin again. Still got to wait to June.

What Starmer should be saying…

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I first saw Radiohead in La Belle Angel in Edinburgh and also The Garage in Glasgow. The good old small venues era. 😀😀😀

It’s time to have a serious conversation about Trump’s health www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

I’ve reverted to booze to try and quash my sciatic pain. Of course I’ve been sitting all day which doesn’t help, but I’ve only got one day off out of nine working. So I need to rest from my hectic job.

Got the most God awful painful sciatica down my right side. It’s equally hard moving and sitting. Work was a nightmare and I’m in tomorrow too. 😭😭

The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.

I dreamt last night that I and a small group of people protested at Trump passing in his car. I called him a demented idiot to his face and then I woke up. 😀

What’s with the two massive army helicopters circling overhead?

Enjoying the last day of the Fringe and the lovely weather.

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

Turning into a vampire in the pitch dark whilst lying on a bed. That was an extremely creepy and suspenseful show by Darkfield at Summerhall.

Oh well think it’s going to be a solo Fringe day today. Got a ticket for a show and have books to read to keep me occupied with glasses of wine.

At home now listening to Angus Young’s guitar solo. He’s bloody brilliant.

Not attending but got drinks to listen.

Got myself a sticker.

My God, AC/DC were great once. Unfortunately I think these days are long gone.

Throat Punch playing lots of AC/DC since the gig at Murrayfield is tonight. Looking forward to listening from the flat.

Renee Zellwegger came back today to see the lads!!!!

First Matt Damon in our local Italian restaurant a month ago. Just been to our coffee shop and no other than Renee Zellwegger was in there asking where the dogs were. She’d heard about them. Unfortunately they weren’t there as shop too hot for them. Think I’m living on Stella Street. 😀

Really good Fringe day today with various friends. Only saw one show which I didn’t enjoy unfortunately. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day and I’m not looking forward to it.

I’ve long given up commenting on it, however… Trump applauds that murderous fuck Putin onto US soil. He treated Zelensky like shit. Trump is a dog fucking cretin.

I’ve read this before and watched the film at least half a dozen times. Love both:

Ironic that the never ending reports on war ending on BBC go on about giving us freedoms, but people are now arrested for protesting against genocide. Hypocrites.

See???? Or hear I should say.

Couldn’t hear the first hour of the Oasis gig because light wind in another direction. Wind changed and it’s BLARINGLY loud now.
