Should I Mention The Weather

Wet all the people that visit Edinburgh in August don't know the meaning of the word wet.

It's just that August has been a little wet in recent years; look back to 2008, where we had just 4 sunny days out of the 21 for the Fringe.

This year we faired so much better. It might have rained in parts of days, but overall it was drier and warmer, amazingly.

I did carry my trusty brolly, most days. And even kept my "dry-as-a-bone" on when the sun came out, just not wanting to tempt fate. It did seem to work.

On one of these wet days I did get my new personal best for "bollard balancing", but that's another story.
