Singing in the rain (NOT!)

Not singin’ in the rain

No, not singin’ in the rain

Not a glorious feeling

Not happy again

Not laughing at the clouds

The sun ain’t in my heart and I ain’t ready for love!

I haven’t got a smile on my face!

I won’t walk down the lane

And no happy refrain

Just not singin’, not singin’ in the rain!

Hey, I ain’t singin’ in the rain,

Just not singin’ in the rain,

What a dreadful feeling

Just not singin’, not singin’ in the rain!

Edimburgo a colori, per favore

Now that I have a camera that can do colour, I thought it would be worth revisiting Embra without the monochromatic eye…

Not beating around the bush

Colourful conversation

Like a piss-head in a pod

What are the odds?!?!

Adding insult to injury

Maycheelin fine dining? Anyone?

Posh haggis with a posh lady (the marrow bone came in handy to discuss osteoporosis)

Breakup Beside a Sweet Shop (sweet teenage moments)

Summer in Ireland

Bray, it’s not grey. It’s quite OK, Bray

I do like a well designed well built old bridge

Emergency wee wee stop in a side alley (the combination of cold water, walking by a body of water and a micro bladder is a lethal one)

Side alley used for other emergencies…

Power-washer vs power-walker. Clash of the Titans.

Hello my wee star

Local icon. More of that later…

Impeccably aligned

Tempted to dive into the bonnie river Clyde…

Cemetery with a view of a brewery. And not just any brewery. The Tennent brewery… quality that.

Cemetery with a view of a football stadium, slightly further in the distance. And not just any stadium. Celtic Park… quality that.

Chameleon multi-storey car park, blending in seamlessly.

Going dry, the Drygate way.

Je T’aime moi non plus du tout du tout…

You’ll never guess where I am…
