A Man's A Man for a' That

Today's Gull shot lost out as there will always be gulls in Edinburgh but this colourful sight that greated me as I left the train station this morning will only be here for the festival.

Weasley had his weekly trip to Livingston to see the vet today. Despite the fact I felt he's getting worse, his lungs apparently seem to be sounding a fraction better. I've to continue him on the antibiotics until Monday and in the meantime she's given him an extra strong worming drop in case he also had lung worm as well as the pnuemonia. So it's back in again on Monday. Yay!

I've got a new batch of beer on to brew and this afternoon should be filled with the smell of baking as Phase 3 of Operation Wedding Cake gets in to full swing.

For those that can't make out the brightly coloured lettering above, it's two verses from Robbie Burns "A Man's A Man for a' That"

What though on hamely fare we dine
Wear hoddin grey, an' a' that
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine
A man's a man, for a' that
For a' that, an' a' that
Their tinsel show an' a' that
The honest man, though e'er sae poor
Is king o' men for a' that

Then let us pray that come it may
(as come it will for a' that)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth
Shall bear the gree an' a' that
For a' that an' a' that
It's coming yet for a' that
That man to man, the world o'er
Shall brithers be for a' that
