Spent this morning teaching an AI robot how to build a bucket bong. My plan is to get them all out their tits and they won't want to take our jobs.

I think it's hilarious when people who live 300 odd miles south of me say they're Northern. 'yes dear, but only compared to France.' It's like me claiming I'm a highlander, spurious and hilarious to outside ears. I mean fair do's, be proud of being from wherever you're from, but northern ya ain't.

I've never given correct details about myself to any online service that requires me to fill out a biography before I can buy a hat or shoes or whatever. Any time I fill out a survey I lie.I can't bring myself to help these balloons in any way whatsoever.I know I'm pissing in the wind, but fuck'em.

It's recently come to my notice that there's a cafe at Auschwitz. Is there also a gift shop? Who the fuck goes to Auschwitz and thinks 'that was a dark and troubling tour but I could do with double egg and chips and a run at the gift shop. The fuck is wrong with people?

Is anyone else aware of the rumour that The Devil sold his soul to Keith Richards on a dark and stormy night outside Clarksdale? He didn't intend to, but Keef outfoxed him.

The Bairn, The Missus and I, all have the stinky cold and are all currently competing to see who can make the most snotters. It's a dead heat between me and the Youngster. The Boy is at his Grandma's and is not afflicted.

Why is my Missus being sent to Haddington from Edinburgh for a medical appointment? It's eighteen fucking miles and we don't drive. I'm genuinely puzzled and if anyone actually knows I'd be delighted to hear why. Although I might be angry with the assumptions made on their part.

The Fringe and all of the other festivals can all Get Tae Fuck. The tourist tax is mandated to be spent on business and tourism. Pity the streets are falling apart and covered in dog shit, there's a homeless camp on top of Waverley market, princes street looks like it's the eighties again.

More Shiny stuff and little lights. Taken on another newer (to me) Panasonic g1 with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50/2.8.

A little pinkish glass bottle sat on some plastic corner protectors from a recent furniture purchase with a polychromatic finish card behind it. The bottle is lit with tiny colour changing LEDs.
