Random things I have seen at the Fringe: Part 1 (of 1)

Photo from Guardian.co.uk; Edinburgh festival: A Pleasance day (Photograph: Beth Elliott)

Whilst at the Pleasance Courtyard with boyshape, we observed the above lady, not glaring at a small boy, but being stared at in awe by a couple of 5 year old girls.

After a shy, giggling approach, the pair said hello and set about examining her dress (in great detail and still in awe), whilst lady quickly appeared to start wondering how soon she could escape them and flyer their parents.

Pleasance Courtyard: For grown ups, tis Fringe venue extraordinaire.

For 5 year old girls, tis Disneyland on a budget.

Computer Glitches

Have made week 7 badges, but my computer/blogger isn’t letting me upload pictures, hmm.

I don’t really understand computers.

Mission One: Oops

Weeks 5 and 6 have failed to materialise. By which I really mean I have failed to make any badges for two weeks. I will blame this on:
1. Lack of badgeable pictures found over the past couple of weeks
2. Work, work work = tired, tired, tired
3. Being a bit lazy

But intend to fixit this weekend.

Mission for the weekend:
1. Resume badgemaking mission

Badges: Week 4

TOP: Juno (from Empire, advert for DVD); Pizza, Pizza, Pizza (from Wired, article on New York pizzas); Indiana Jones (from Empire, article on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).

MIDDLE: Joker (from Empire, article on The Dark Knight); Batman (from Empire, article on The Dark Knight).

BOTTOM: Iron Man (from the list, Comic review section).

A cheat as this is week 5. But they were made in week 4, I am just too disorganised to have posted them. Week 5 to follow later today when I find enough things to become badges…
