Le festival du famille......

......early start to take Sparky for his booster jab and check-up. The vet thinks he'll be exceptionally large because he has a very long back for a cat his age.....we speculated about him having some wild cat blood because of his size, and his occasional bouts of turning from purring pal to slashing pyscho.

A day in front of the books (exam on Monday) before joining mes parents et le famille Belguique pour le dîner a la Room in Leith. The conversation was free flowing and we covered a wide variety of topics, discussed using our brand of Franglais, linguists would wince at the mangling of the languages. Fabienne used to interview for Belgian TV News and has a superb current affairs and historical knowledge.

Our family festival comes to an end tomorrow, but I think they've enjoyed the Edinburgh Festival atmosphere. Incidently, I had Roe Deer with Stornoway White Pudding for dinner......superb.
