andrewducker: (The Hair!)

Today we went into town, and saw this:
Police at the rally

I had completely forgotten that today was the day that the Scottish Defense League were holding their not-a-march*, and thus the day that the anti-fascists would also be cluttering up the centre of town, and thus the day that there would be police everywhere and the buses would be taking three times as long to get anywhere.

But we managed to get breakfast in town (mmm, fried breakfast with haggis), buy me some new shoes**, pick up some food from Tesco (makes a nice change from the selection at Sainsbury), and I got my hair cut at Julie's hairdresser's***.

Food now in the oven, to be matched with an episode of Castle****, and then some flat tidying.

Tomorrow, there may be fun :->



*Having been told they couldn't have a march they decided to have a stand-still. You can click on the picture for more details.
**It's an endless source of frustration for Julie that I can walk into a shoe shop and come out within five minutes with a new pair.
***Julie's trying out different ideas on my hair to see what's going to suit me best for the wedding. She thinks that my hair looks best three months after the cut it just had - so I have a note in my calendar for mid-December to see how it looks.
****We're halfway through season three. It's very silly, terribly predictable, and great fun. Not sure what we're going to replace it with when we catch up.

The police should have placards to wave around at demos as well. Just during the quite spells, of course. Or maybe sandwich-boards which could double as riot shields. Yeah, that's it - sandwich-boards with advertising on. "Eat at Joe's to Avoid the Blows!", etc. etc.

What's actually meant to happen to the shops in the St James Centre? Are they just vanishing from Edinburgh? I do a fair bit of shopping there and some of them don't exist elsewhere.

Arrive at wedding wearing hat. Bowler, topper or fez. Hair is all tied up, and under hat. Partway through wedding, remove hat and hair goes FWOOMP all over the place, somewhat like chains shooting out from the Lament Configuration.

Castle is a lot better than it should be for what it is.
