Festival Again

Off to Edinburgh again tomorrow, looking forward to all of it. Daughter is staying in London this year, bashing on with her nearly-finished musical and working. A fun shopping trip with her today (me, who usually detests shopping for clothes!) - both of us bought lots of lovely things in the high street of my nearest little town, quickly, painlessly, and cheaply. High spirits.

Son will be playing geetar in a show called Miles Ahead with other jazz musicians - at C Venue, if you happen to be there and into Miles Davis.

Ms North has been shortlisted for the Kelpies Prize with her story, Magnus Finn and the Ocean Quest and the Signses will be there at the award ceremony on Wednesday when the winner will be announced.

I will be taking the notebook along, probably not writing much in it until my return but one must always show willing, even on holiday.

There is so much auspiciousness in the air, I can taste it.

Enjoy, and I hope the weather is less rainy that this time last year up there.

Good to see you in high spirits and with things to look forward to.

word ver = mintion: any thoughts?

Have a brilliant time. I was hoping to get back to the UK this autumn, but the economy is conspiring against me. sigh.

Once, just once, I'd like to get myself together in time and make it to Edinburgh fringe. Once. That's all I ask.

Gadfrey!
I read the post as "...you and Miles Davis are there."

Consternation and delight.
