Complaint to CalMac crew about criminal customers calls for chessman compensation (Rousse)

Yellow perils on the streets of the Edinburgh New Town (Rousse)
The entire class – along with PC, who was calling himself Tom Mortimer – squeezed into a tiny yellow mini. Former PhD candidate LK took the wheel. We bumped across the Edinburgh cobbles into Moray Place. When I pointed out … Continue reading

Glasgow comedian in conspiracy to catch MSP with pants down (Rousse)
TPR and I fell in with Glasgow comedian mop-haired Jello and his crowd on tour in Germany. When TPR wandered off, I ended up alone with Jello and a few of his German friends in a château for an evening … Continue reading
Seal in a sand dune (Rousse)

Running with pigs and a lobotomy (Rousse)
The Dean reminded me that the deadline was fast approaching for the submission of grant proposals. I acknowledged his concern that it appeared that I had done nothing to bring a team together, then booked a meeting room in the … Continue reading
Sunset from a 5* hotel (Rousse)
We met in the private dining room of a 5 star hilltop hotel with fantastic views west over the bridges and river mouth. Yet I still couldn’t resist spoiling the happy atmosphere of the gathering by sneaking out to photograph … Continue reading

Limbless torsos in Speedos, a bare-breasted woman, children in litter disguise, and booklet giveaways in Morningside (Rousse)
I abandoned weeding a municipal planter on the southern outskirts of Edinburgh so that I could catch a 23 bus back into town and meet my mother on Colinton Road at 6:30pm, as previously agreed. The bus was frustratingly slow. … Continue reading
