Whitehand Adventures: Some more from Edinburgh

Stockbridge - Local cricket match

(James says on the scale these guys would be like, 4ths or 5ths= Dodgey)

Have been a little slack on the actual manual journalling, intend to catch up on it in the next couple of days before we jet to Birmingham... Will update this with anything I forget now.
So, since I last wrote, Friday we have had lunch with Dr. Jayne Brassington (one of the Chiros I used to work with) At her and her partner, Dave's flat in Stockbridge in the North West of the city. Dave book us all tckets to the Scotland vs. Australia One day match at the end of next month too....

Stockbridge =Amazing op shops!!!

I did leave my umbrella in one of them, but we got it back the next day! And I bought a jacket.. not the red leather one though.... decided against the £55 price tag.
A green and black checked longline bomber style with a big roll over neck, lined to keep me warm when the cold sets in! And it was only £3.99 at an Oppie!!!!! Love it!

So that was Saturday after finding my brolly, and then James found a local cricket match in the park, so we ate our picnic there! See attached picture above - Beautiful!

Um, then, let's think..... Saturday night we had a cabaret at the Lawn Bowls club. And I played a game of bingo! I am totally 25 years old - NOT!!!! LOL

But the cabaret was good... the main entertainer was a big Glagow guy who sang and did a comedy act! Boy was he funny too!!!! A bit crass, but he did a fart and a couple of poo jokes in amongst it!

I can't remember who but someone told us the Scottish really didn't appreciate fart jokes etc.. so we were a bit wary at first. But we now know - they love it! Just the same as Aussies do! LOL

Dave & Sharice - Mission acomplished!

Today (sunday) we went to church at the Charlotte Baptist Chapel in the city. It was good, but a little on the old-school side, not quite Barro! But we'll suss some of the others out after our European adventure! After that we took our picnic down the Royal mile to the 2009 Scotland Homecoming "World class Highland Games" But we were doing the true Scottish thing and being a bit tight, so we didn't pay to go in, we watched on their big screen from up the hill!
See Picture below...

Either tomorrow or Tuesday or both we will be pounding the pavements on our job search!
I have found a few advertised jobs in a shopping centre overlooking the water at Leith... So I'll give those a stab! And I will put our names down onthe temp jobs recruiters databases... But there actually seems to be plenty around, and for a lot of the temp work- it is still too early to apply as we cannot start till late August...

Anyhow, I appear to be babbling!

GTG, will put some pics here for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!!!

P.s
Also have uploaded all our photos so far onto "Photobucket".com will give you the URL when I work out how to find it!
