Gilligan...and the Skipper too

The city is just starting to blossom as I am getting ready to leave! Tommarow marks the beginning of the Edinburgh Film Festival and then after that it's officially countdown to the festival in August...when all of Edinburgh unravels itself into a bohemian paradise (or so I hear).

I am starting to question my accent radar as I hear it less and less. Sure there is the occasional Leith-er who sounds as if he has marbles in his mouth but it's smooth sailing for the most part.

There are moments when I try to plan trips and wonder why it's harder to navigate around or when I go to the grocery store and am puzzled by the lack of fruit diversity, a constant breeze, seagulls in a city setting and it all at once hits me.....HOLY SHIT I AM TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND! A very pretty, rolling green island but an ISLAND non the less.

In other news and events I am off to Belgium on Saturday.....stay classy why I'm gone Scottyland.
