Crab-Apple Jelly ‘22

6 kg fruit , too much. Got 14 jars from 3kg.

RFS ‘22

It’s that time of year, meeting with the remnants of the Robert Fergusson Society at the Canongate Churchyard, on a mild rainy day. Coffee and cakes opposite, courtesy of the Royal Bank of Scotland, who mucked up closing the account, their fault, £25 compensation. With CB, MF and R R-P.

Surprise treat, passionfruit jellies yum.

Moonage Daydream

Bowie biopic at the Fountain Park cinema in Dundee Street. Pretty good, ignores the 90’s. Dundee Street very much changed, but the Library still dominates. With R O’C, who worried about too many flashing images.

Book of Mormon

At the Playouse tonight, really good, better than I expected. Expensive elaborate production with snappy choreography. Highlight: Spooky Mormon Hell Dream. Like an extended episode of South Park with the usual moral ambiguities. With BW.
