What Big Teeth You Have

With the crocodile in the lagoon in St Andrew Square missing, having been appropriated by pranksters on Thursday after the gardens were shut for the night, and the latest life like photo of the so called Loch Ness Monster being shown to be a fake, it was a relief to see that a fully fledged dinosaur had invaded the Land of Flowers.

It was attracting much attention and screams from the younger set when it came to life and moved towards them with chomping jaws and a frightening hiss. It didn't do much for my camera shake either.

Our sojourn yesterday to see 'Sunshine on Leith' was the perfect antidote to a wet afternoon. If only for the spectacular views of Edinburgh, it is worth seeing, but it also has a certain cheery feel good factor about it. The songs are hardly Abba, but they do have a beat if not a plethora of words.

There was no hanky panky in the back rows either: the age of the clientele at the 1pm showing precluded that. In fact I may have detected a few snores in the auditorium; I know for a fact that some people dosed of for a few seconds!
