Fringe madness

It is the time of year, for the Edinburgh Fringe festival.  The city is buzzing with tourists and there is far too much to see and far too little time (and money) to see it all.

I have been on holiday since finishing up work on Friday evening and Susan's sister was staying with us up until yesterday.  So it has been a bit of a mad weekend and first half of the week. I for the most part let the women go ahead and book what they wanted to see, and tagged along.  This worked really well and I was able to have my input when I wanted to.  It also meant I saw a few shows that I would quite happily have given a miss if I had had the time to look at what they were when asked if I wanted to go.  This turned into a bit of a triumph as I thoroughly enjoyed everything I saw.  Obviously some more than others, but that is the way it is!!

With ticket prices rising though I think gone are the times of running around fitting in 3-4 shows a day. Although it is quite manic just getting along to 2, with places like the spiegelgarden to hang around in between.
