Feel the groove
August 5th, 2007Today we went to see the Edinburgh Cavalcade which pretty much is the start of the festival(s). It’s not every day you see the Lady Boys of Bangkok rubbing shoulders with the Scouts, and the Tay Valley Twirlers following Dr Who (and the Tardis, a Dalek and K9)! We also collected a metric butt load of leaflets and whistles and crap which I think will get a photo for prosperity.
The fine Scottish drizzle was out in force, as you’d expect, so much of the fun was spotting the split in the paraders between those feeling the groove and the ones that were just wet and pissed off. I particularly liked the guy holding the sign for The Edinburgh Samba School and friends who clearly was an ex-raver and was just itching for a glow stick.
In other news I’m still faffing about with emulated Linux. I’m getting somewhere with Puppy Linux now but I ran out of (virtual) disk space because I made the disk image too small. So I’m now growing that with Gparted. In case you hadn’t figured, I’m still not taking the easy way out!
