Horrible horrible up keep of blog. I haven't been getting to the library now that I have to actually go to work as well as have a life that includes blogs. Really really tough, however I'm back and have made a list of what I have to update everyone on. Where to start?!
Well last time I left off Mom was still and town and we all went out with a bang. We went on this bus tour around the city and it was fairly dud status- except for the exemplary moment of road rage we witnessed. Situation went something like this. Male pedestrian- let call him hold his own Henry- jets across the street at an intersection slightly before a small van goes through said intersection. Apparently it was not Henry's turn to cross and the driver of the van- lets call him Fly off the handle Freddie- gets through the intersection and pulls over and runs over to Henry screaming. Now when Scottish people are angry I definitely cannot understand them but I did understand that Freddie's vocab mainly consisted of four letter words. Henry was like whats your problem pal. Freddie is within inches of Henry's face and raising his fists, Henry simply maintains eye contact and listens to it all. Freddie spits on Henry and walks away. Henry just walks on. WTF. Freddie is probably on parole.
The last true night in town was spent on a pub crawl on Rose St. Hit three fairly classic old man pubs on the strip. The third pub we hit would be the most memorable thanks to one John Burns- an old man in for his night cap, he simply sauntered up to our table and told us two doozeies of jokes and then explained more Edinburgh history then we had received on any of our tours that week. He was a hero. Then pretty much we all got bombed and danced in unison in a club. Had mom out til 3am and then I barfed.
Well heather and Kara were up to Edinburgh and there is where Heather celebrated here birthday, along with Clair and Chad who are also now visiting. Well me Heather, Kara, Chad and Clair went out to dinner at some random pub off George street, it was lovely, and then we pretty much went home- Heather is really rowdy in her old age. Britt and Allie were in Liverpool during this portion and missed out on the action of the birthday party, however they came back on we took the girls out for a bit of a night. Basically we went out and came across a gang of friends who were between 6'5" and6'9" each. It was some sort of requirement. I'm not sure who they were or where they were from, but I do know that they spent most of the night showing people how they could all touch the roof. Thrilling
Before Heather and Kara left we went on the whiskey experience and learned all about Scotch, saw the largest collection of scotch in the world and drank some.
Messages to pass on:
*I witnessed a bird murder in Hyde park in London that I forgot to mention- two birds fighting on the water, end up going under water, only one comes up- life altering horror.
*Claire and Chad found that going down to the local pub they found some wonderful friends, like a man named Richard who help us come third in a pub quiz (we were called the 'ogopogo's', then changes our names to 'dummies and that guy in the corner' and then 'dummies and Richard'- I suppose that I should mention that I actually spelt dummies wrong as well.....on purpose of course....)
