Let the Fringe Commence!

This is the first day of my break so I took full advantage of my bed, only getting up in time to greet the window cleaners. Oh, they have done a good job. Let there be light!

In the evening I met the wonderful Arachne and her lovely partner who are up for a few days for the festival. How delightful to finally meet and find even more common ground!

We successfully (mostly) dodged a rather heavy downpour and were in stitches thanks to Mark Steel.

The photo is the shadow of the statue of good ol' John Knox, that Presbyterian 'more fun than a barrel of monkeys' minister who casts a long shadow over this land. I'm sure he'd disapprove of much of the festival and that makes it all the more enjoyable.
