Well on my travels again. This time working in the office I connect to online from home.

MC is at home with The Husband until Thursday when he's (MC) off to the foster carers until our joint return on 6th Oct. The Husband will join me for the weekend, which will be loverly.

Next week sees my first English stand-up gig. The nerves haven't hit yet, but will do by the weekend - in time for The Husband to sooth my furrowed brow, but he still wants to maintain his record of not seeing me in action, so on the night I'll be on my own. Looking forward to it as I was so geedup by my trip to the Fringe in August.

So cue (stage left) the long awaited (perhaps not) report on my trip to the Edinburgh Fringe. My first observation is two days is no where enough time to work out what's on, where and fitting it all in.

I was keen to see some comedy and suss out a few venues for future performances, but I also wanted to experience some of the other events on offer.

Living outside of Edinburgh, and various family commitments, meant I couldn't stay for evening shows. This was a BIG mistake as most of the acts I wanted to catch up with were on after 7pm.

Still I made it to the Book Festival one afternoon but, unless tickets were booked in advance chances of getting in to see events on the day were slim. Still a few readings in the bookshop brought a few authors into public view. Still, The Mother managed to see PD James, which she loved and made it more worthwhile.

Overall worth a longer visit next year - and perhaps this time I'll make it on stage in some form or another. Perhaps we could do a stage show of the Fank or an Island Blogging drama. Lets gets our collective brains (2lbs) in action.

Will try to post any exciting events over the next week or so until I return.
