About 30 days left in Scotland. I am starting to have chest pains again, which in Santa Fe are actually very common (anxiety based.) It hadn't occurred to me that I've had very few in the last 5 months, till they started up again.

I am thinking of maybe getting a piercing before I go. Get it done in some kind of reasonable, classy Scottish...

Do you really have to go back to Santa Fe? Someplace else in the US might cause you less distress. frown

Bath and Bristol were fun, and now we're back in Edinburgh with about 34 days to go before I'm supposed to leave. I have a feeling these are not happy days ahead, unless I can really stay occupied. Already getting a headache and feeling lots of facial tension. I am not looking forward at all to returning to the US.

I suppose I ought to...

Glad to hear you had a fun time in Bath and Bristol, try not to think too much about going home just yet. Make the most of the rest of your trip. smile

I'm kind of fascinated by the Scottish (British?) practice of getting 'kebabs' after going out drinking. That which is called a kebab here is pretty much take-out friendly Middle Eastern/Greek food, with pizza and french fries also usually offered.

I'm fond of the "Chips with Doner Meat." Doner meat is Gyros meat in the US. When you buy it, they give you a layer of...

Stood up by an OK Cupid date... oh well... sad waste of makeup though.

Actually I've been getting an odd amount of attention lately... I think I must be going around looking especially gloomy though, because a great deal of it is 'cheer up' and 'are you okay?' kind of comments from people on the street.

if you had your glad rags on and were all dolled up, you should have found a quiet winebar.....I'm sure a handsome fellow would have walked your way....

Heh. I get told I frequently look like I am contemplating axe murder every so often, by some brave souls who either are fearless and innocent, or just overly honest and not especially bright. That's just when I am trying to think out a problem. But it does the job: I get left alone to concentrate.

Perhaps the mistaken interpretation of your inner workings can likewise be redirected to other ends?

Thought I might have found a possible way of getting some UK citizenship or at least extension for staying based on a grandparent, but alas, it looks like I still don't qualify.

We're getting to about 6 or 7 weeks left of my stay, and suddenly my opinions on marrying for the sake of staying are changing. (Not that that would be possible at this...

Skirt related injury! My first ever in 15 years of overdressing daily.

But I got a few nice photos at Warrington Cemetery for it... spoiled a little by the pain in my knee which is all scraped...

I also got handed a Chick Tract by a Texan -- in the middle of Edinburgh, of all places! Greyfriar's Kirkyard in view! -- and later, an Italian...

Well, supposedly I removed my "Hopeful" status but it's still showing at the moment... maybe it will go away soon...

Yeah, the fact is, as I declare periodically, I have no intention of ever shooting another set; and I find it rather irritating to be asked to do more. There will not be anymore sets for this site. There's no point -- there was maybe...

Maybe it is the fact that you are different that makes people think you should shoot another set?
franie:
It looks like the title is gone now.

Just be yourself. If it doesn't fit on here, then it is the site's loss.

I don't think I've been this skinny since I did the Crude Furie shoot, which was about the thinnest I've ever been. I need more Irn Bru.
