twinned with trumpton

Dryden Street(-ish)esque

A cover version of this one, but instead of Cigs, it features dwalletta and 'im indoors (even though he was outdoors?)

Here's the original one

Early start; I'd resolved to take Cigs blips early; after my late night Saturday wander, I knew early would be better and set the alarm for 4.30 and was into the disused factories at the back of the soon to be flattened Shrubhill; and had a thoroughly god wander around and even walked around most of the Shrubhill bit later on.

Went home, and pottered about; slept, spilt icing sugar; and then eventually met for lunch; half an hour of chatting by the Links.
Had an hour to kill before the RV, so parked on Albert St and wandered off towards Easter Road; new ones on Elgin Terrace and a belter from the old PO on Brunswick Road; as well as finally nailing the park at Montgomery Street.

And off to Shrub Place; perched on a box with Cigs sprayed down the side of it; could it be any more obvious?

Eventually a grey raincoat appeared and introduced herself, and shortly thereafter a gentleman joined us too. Brilliant 45 mins of mayhem; not least of which the guy who descended from the Gods; freaky....

Smiling, I left to collect Captain Curran and Weird Al and headed off in the gathering sunshine to nab a couple of Marilyns way south of Innerleithen; we trudged up through bracken and heather and peat bog and eventually Stumbled to the top of the Wiss; the other two didn't fancy Turner Cleuch Law so I belted off and claimed that; we retired for a pint at the Gordon Yarrow Arms, quick swim to wash away the sweat in the Tweed at Innerleithen and then home....

Busy happy day
