Our last day enjoying the Edinburgh Fringe and overcoming Wiggly’s ‘shoe trantrum’ to see "Like a Virgin" which was so sad it made me cry.
Then ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ at Southside and a boozy end to the visit at The Advocate pub.
Checked in with the family and spoke to Debbie who told me all about her night out clubbing in Cambridge and seems very happy at the moment to have discovered the other sex.
To bed very tired after the day's exertions.
The weather statisticians have told us that the month of August was the warmest and sunniest one ever, even if only the third driest, but the summer remains the driest ever.
I had a much better morning, getting up earlier and updating my journal, logging into CIX and then shagging Wiggly quickly for my own pleasure so that we were away by 11.00am for the start of our last fringe day.

Busy day at the Edinburgh Fringe after a tired and grumpy start, enjoying performances of Abigail's Party, after which we relaxed in the Gilded Balloon Cafe with a mug of coffee each and a Danish Pasty.
Then, the Cambridge Footlights review, and on to the Pleasance Theatre to see a one-man show by comedy song-writer and singer John Shuttleworth.
Then dinner dinner at The Arches Italian and then energetic climb up Arthur's Seat before back to the main theatre of The Guilded Balloon for a 10.00pm performance of Donna McPhale.
The walk back after dropping in to The Minto Hotel after the Festival Club as per usual for a pint and to listen to the night's jazz band
The day did not start off particularly well as, having rushed down to breakfast and then gone upstairs to do some computer and telephone work for the morning, I adopted rather a bullying tone with Wiggly and upset her.

Enjoying a typical day at the Edinburgh Fringe withdrawing cash and booking events and shows at Southside and saw one almost immediately called "BSE2".
This was five actors scripted by "anonymous BBC comedy script writers" and portraying a number of numerous sketches in almost TWTWTW or Monty Python-type style.
Then to see "West Side Story" the original musical being produced with a huge cast and very well done .
We then we walked to the Jazz centre afterwards and listened to a nice, if non-charismatic and ageing, seven piece jazz band.
We slept very soundly after the journey yesterday and our late and active night.

After sorting out the LibDem Press Release with John Roscoe, the long drive from Eynesbury to Edinburgh and a meal at a nearby seafood restaurant.
Then to see our first event of the fringe festival, Scottish comedian, Fred Macauley at. the Gilded Balloon.
A long walk after to the Mambo Club where it took a while for the atmosphere to get going but we eventually ended up dancing until tired to bed.
I had left the organiser alarm on and it woke us up at 7.00am exactly. We still relaxed with a cup of tea for a short while before getting up, showered, dressed and packed.
