    Edinburgh has it's own Damart Thermal Underwear shop

    Haven't seen any blokes in a kilt for a while... but thankfully lots of absolute babes in short skirts, low cut tops and suntans - you know the women, the ones that hide somewhere magical until the sun comes out, then suddently everywhere you look, there's a stunner.

    Festival time is approaching.. yum!

    No, so I currently have an absolutely filthy, cobweb covered one blasting ming all over the lounge.

    I'm just off outside to turn my sprinkler off. It's been on for over an hour now.

    LB - Lemonade - although I try to avoid the stuff with Sodium Benzoate and Saccharin because it tastes quite ghastly.

    Not tried it with Ginger but I noticed the other day Pimms #3 Winter. I guess the traditional brand has diversified?

    Mrs Goof - Sadly, I have to leave a little in the bottle otherwise the trouble 'n' strife will get quite arsy to the fact that I've downed a bottle of Pimms while relaxing in the garden and at the same time kicking her redecorating budget into touch.

    Even the fecking cleaner has given me a dirty look because I've had another one...

    oh well, doghouse, here we come...
