Weekend/Dentist/GP/TMGAIHAA
I still haven't mentioned Cropredy, although I should. It was fairly mundane compared to last year's, but I should still have a go.
The weekend was quiet, although it looks like we will be going to see Puressence on Saturday. Last night, for reasons that actually make a little (but not much) more sense than you'd think, I was banging a screw into the kitchen wall with a hammer. Actually, this was because neither myself nor my flatmate smoke - if it turns out not to have worked, then at least the shops will still be open when I get home. Earlier on I ran amok in the front garden trashing two plants that had independently decided to mount takeover bids.
I've also been revisiting Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About, which is well worth a look if you haven't read it. I had previously assumed that everybody now had, but I've recently met a couple of people who'd never heard of it.
Finally, can any of you recommend a decent dentist and a GP in the south side of Edinburgh? I've been back here a year and I'm still not registered with either. I know I've already asked this of some of you, but foolishly I didn't insist on having the answer in writing.
Cheers.
Captain's log, supplemental:
I notice that another version of The Scream has been stolen. Hopefully they'll get it back, but unfortunately it was ruined for me as a picture by reading the comments a US school class gave on what it was about, and in particular one student's comment that it isn't (as I had naively believed) a depiction of the dehumanising effects of modern life and the sheer horror of existence, but in fact shows a criminal being chased by the two policemen clearly visible in the top left.
PS - anyone who lets on that I've been seen gardening is dead, OK?
