Braw


Another four weeks to go until the UK election on July 4th. It would be true to say that things are not going as planned for the governing party.  We saw our first ( and so far only ) election sign, for the Lib Dems, in a front garden yesterday.


The weather this morning 'mixed'. It's certainly not the tee shirt weather that the mannequins in the golf shop window would seem to be expecting. There must be 200 ravens sitting on the rocks by the shore. What they're finding to eat down there is a complete mystery. Perhaps there's a nutrient they need in the seaweed ?

Last night Taylor Swift opened up her latest tour with a concert at the rugby stadium  in Edinburgh. The bakers grand daughter went with some friends. ' She said it was braw ' he tells us as we pick up a whole meal loaf.


The theatre programme is perused. It's slanted towards musicals. Perhaps we'll get tickets for the the Great Baldini and his magical dog ? The book festival may offer more appealing options.


At the cocktail bar that's opened up in what used to be the Salvation Army hall they're doing small plates for graduation week. Angus wonders how popular Octopus Hotdog will be. The cocktail bar is a two minute walk from the front door of the graduation hall so it's ideally positioned for a bumper week of celebratory  imbibing.


One of the small Victorian houses down by the cinema is suddenly looking very 'floral'.



It's forecast to get to 13 degrees here today so this may or may not be relevant :https://efosong.net/hottest_day.html

The pretenious menu at the former Salvation Army hall made me laugh. What would the former resident's think - and "drink taken" too!
The Great Baldini and his magical dog is surely a must see!
The Victorian cottage does look very appealing with it's almost rampant greenery.

I have this morning enjoyed an egg roll and cuppa from the Hogganfield Loch Park kiosk, and the lady serving was full of delight at having attended the TS concert last night. I congratulated her on looking so bright and ready for the morning after such a late night. Maybe because she was in her t-shirt and the sun was blazing right inside the shed. Walk around into the breeze though... YAM xx

I might try the cauliflower steak, but perhaps not at that price. I wonder if they will succeed. The doorway is beautiful - almost up there with your wisteria in France.

The window display is aimed at a certain customer, with a weakness for overpriced t-shirts.

My daughter and husband were in Italy for their honeymoon and ended their trip with the Taylor Swift concert in San Sebastian, Spain. Tickets to her concerts are less expensive overseas than in the US. She didn't use braw, but the concert was the most amazing thing she has seen in her entire life.

I would choose the magic show. That's a fetching green door in the last picture.

I looked up braw. From its meaning and others appreciation of the TS show, I think braw must be a severe understatement.

That menu lost me at "Trout Pastrami", let alone the Octopus Hotdog..........

Octopus Hotdog...I am speculating . an Octopus leg stuffed with "something" and deep fried. Stuffing may be veg .
