On Sunday James and I sallied forth to spend the day at the Edinburgh Fringe, one of our annual traditions. We had booked a variety of events, from plays to comedy and even a financial game show! It was all good fun and the highlight had to be Jack Docherty, who we used to watch many years ago on the comedy show Absolutely and nowadays on the very funny Scotsquad, on which he plays the police chief Miekelson. He was absolutely hilarious. It was also fun sitting in the open air pub in Bristo Square, the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy with entertainers doing the rounds. Rather alarmingly, one young man was juggling with a loudly buzzing chainsaw, a machete and an apple.
It was great to see Gordon and Sue on Saturday and I took the opportunity to ask them their opinion about my cycling fall last weekend. James has been very cynical about my account that I fell forwards over the handlebars, because he thinks that I can’t have been going fast enough to do so. But that’s exactly what happened and I was not best pleased that he doubted me. Gordon and Sue, very keen cyclists who have recently spent a holiday cycling in Canada, confirmed that it is perfectly possible to tip over the handlebars at a slow speed. I felt vindicated.
