Optician

 

Annual checkup very reassuring, pressures 11 & 12 mmHg, normal maculae and fields, no cataracts, prescription unchanged. Optician having a bad day, unable to get the automatic gear going properly so went manual. Outwardly kept her cool thankfully.

Around The World In 80 Days

 Royal Scots Club 15th August. Hazel's company, fun, lively, slick. Gilly got the tickets, Leona and all the Remus crowd there.

Attila The Stockbroker

Free fringe. At Bannerman's which brought back the memory of the debut Dancing Mice gig in 2004.

Very enjoyable, amusing self-aware and sorted Marxist sentiments. Good cittern.

With DG who suggested going. Poured with rain on the way home, bus stuck for 20 minutes in Leith Street as per usual nowadays with the Gyratory.

Loft Clearance

Fringe this morning, at RSE. Friend of Gilly doing a multi -media monologue about clearing her loft and all that entails. Pretty good, 4 stars.

Five Cousins

After a gap of some years, five cousins together. Good time had by all.

12th to 18th May.

Haarlem, Delft, Amsterdam, Leiden, Kinderdijk, Rotterdam, The Hague.

Kinderdijk very atmospheric. Delft charming. Escher museum very good. Mesdag Panorama terrific.
