August 4

For the life of me I can't remember what we did this day but it didn't involve any Fringe shows. Yes, remember now! We went to my workmate Jilly's wedding reception at a castle 40 minutes out of Edinburgh. Beautiful night which ended in Briony and the RCN counsellor sucking helium balloons and singing classics such as Grease Lightnin'. How odd. I bought sparkly new (flat!) shoes for the occasion which were comfy in the store but resulted in me going barefoot at the reception and bleeding red raw heels upon my return home from walking up the Mound. Intense pain. I never learn...

Here are some photos:

This is me taking a photo of my new skirt (£10 at Debenhams, was £80. It's a full skirt with a tulle underlay. Love it!). Why I've taken this photo here as the toilets were like little caravans outside the marquee at the castle, but trying to be stylish by adding carpet on the floors. If the stupid flash wasn't on you would be able to see me hair which had been done earlier that day by Cheryl, with the help of about 450 bobby pins. Glam.




















This is the Castle where Jilly, my workmate and her parnter of 13 years tied the knot. The reception was in a marquee at the front. Favourite moment was watching the kids in all their finery, roll down the grassy hills near the castle, totally wrecking their outfits but having a good time doing it.

For some reason I can't add this picture on the page, so you'll have to click on the link. Let me know if it doesn't load.
