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.

Just in time to get down in time for the Hotel Minto buffet breakfast that ends at 9.30am and we enjoyed a large and satisfying meal.
I had run out beforehand to get a couple of papers and we then sat and read them to relax and also to start planning the day's activities. There are so many events and venues that it becomes quite mind-boggling to decide which ones to try booking, seeing and travelling between.
I also logged into CIX with my computer, entering a debate with Paddy Ashdown about his mobile computer facilities and with other activists about the provision of houses to one-sex couples with children, which I thought was controversial.
Once on our way, we caught a bus to central Edinburgh and then bought three days-worth of bus tickets before tackling the problem of cash and finance.
I used the Link system outside a Yorkshire Building Society branch to withdraw £250 cash for the first time and then we paid it into what must have been the head office of Wiggly's Royal Bank of Scotland. It had a splendid banking hall with a high, star-studded dome as a magnificent feature.
This done, we got into problems trying to catch a bus to the first venue and had to cancel our watching it which was a distressing thing to have to do.
Then we walked and bused to Victoria Street and Wiggly shopped at Long Tall Sally's and bought a nice new pair of trousers before we then tried another venue.
We nearly got in to see "Two girls with big jests" but failed by the sale of only one ticket with a few minutes to spare. So far, we had not managed to see anything for the day.
With better planning we then booked two 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 and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Then back to the hotel by bus for a change and shower before we returned for "West Side Story", the original musical being produced with a huge cast and very well to.
It was not my favourite musical, being American with some harsh images, but they performed and sang it particularly well, even if the band did tend to drown out the softly-singing artists on occasions.
Before the performance, we just had time to buy two Kentucky Fried Chicken meals to eat standing in the seat allocation queue.
Still revelling, we walked to the Jazz centre afterwards and listened to a nice, if non-charismatic and ageing, seven piece jazz band and had a couple of drinks and then got back in our room for 1.00am.
Still energy for us both to enjoy some nice festival fringe sex before we turned over and went to sleep at the end of another hectic day.
