Grayfriars Bobby, the Faithful Skye Terrier who guarded the grave of his master for 14 years!
Dear Edinburgh, how self will miss you — all the sights and sounds of your colorful denizens, your overcast skies, your creepy underground tours, your paving-stone streets, your crooked corners, your fascinating bookshops, your little pubs, your eccentric monuments (Scott’s monument looks like an alien spaceship about to take off into the cloudy Scottish skies!)
Today, self went to the Elephant House. She took pictures of a bulletin board festooned with drawings of elephants:
Children mail drawings of elephants to The Elephant House, billed as “The Birthplace of Harry Potter”
On another bulletin board were many pictures of a (very young) J. K. Rowling.
In the comfort room was scrawled, on one wall:
If you would like to bang (or make love to) Hermione, put a check mark here.
There were 10 check marks.
Funny, self thought there would be more.
Just to the right of the above scrawled message (Self is amazed that she actually had the wherewithal to take notes on what was written on the bathroom walls — but, anything for “ze blog”!!!) was another:
If you are sane (or cool enough) to realize that Hermione would have nothing to do with you, put a check mark here.
Beneath this message were eight check marks.
Meat pie with mashed potatoes and gravy: Self’s lunch today at The Elephant House. Self noticed that most of the patrons who ordered this accompanied their meal with a large glass of milk!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
