Edinburgh airport attractions (Rousse)

Posted on November 23, 2013 by Dreamaticus

The latest attractions at Edinburgh Airport were a prehistoric carving of a horse’s head, and a tightrope challenge that hung across a muddy stream. I was most interested in the former, and TPR in the latter.

Abingdon would hardly have been my choice for a weekend away, but TPR was determined that this would be the perfect venue to relax for a couple of days. He was also completely unaware that this was where my ex-boyfriend … Continue reading →

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Dreamaticus

The timelord had landed. I knew this because I heard a clatter of footsteps as the Doctor and his crew descended the steps to our basement flat. David Tennant had made some effort to disguise himself by blackening his face, … Continue reading →

DB took to booking basement bars for wild parties on weekday afternoons. I always enjoyed these – until the day that TPR decided that the semi-naked LB was a more exciting dancing partner than me.

London runner saved by the kindness of strangers (Rousse)

Posted on November 14, 2013 by Dreamaticus
