The Bathtub Incident
So, there we were, on the way home from Jen and Bertie's gig at Au Bar 2, and what did we find, but a bathtub, abandonned,
and in need of some love and attention. So, we all had photos taken with the bathtub, and we became so attached that we couldn't
just leave it behind. So we didn't.
A big "Thank You!" to my mother and to Jaime's for the three boxes of KD we five scarfed down in about 5 minutes.
Every nationality has flagship food items they get from home. For Canadians, it's KD. For Aussies, Twisties, Burger Rings,
and Tim-Tams. For Kiwis, apparently it's something called 'Perky Nanas'. I'll take a couple of those in my next package, thank
you.
This is my mate Frog, and her plush soulmate, Alvin, the Disco Tortoise, possibly one of the coolest Quiz Night mascots
ever!
Meanwhile in the rest of the world....
I went back home for a visit for Thanksgiving. Did I take pictures of Thanksgiving dinner and my family that I hadn't
seen in a year? Hell, no! The only photos I have are of the extremely small housewarming at my brother's first flat. The guests
were myself, our friend Alex (pictured above draped around me), and a pink rubber squeezy ball with a gratuitous nipple.
In Sweden, Annica is giving her houseplants loving care, while my cousin's daughter Dominie is sprouting like a plant
out of control. I swear she'll be chewing gum, wearing mini-skirts and listening to her generation's music of supposed rebellion
by the time I get home.
Returning to Scotland, we have my Aunt Christine and Uncle Ronald visiting from Australia and taking me out for the day
to North Berwick. This is about the most awake I was all day, being the day after one big party or another. Can't rightly
recall which one.

Sadly, we realized that the Bathtub couldn't come in to Opium with us, so we thought maybe he'd like to make a phone
call from the Grassmarket while we were away. Incidentally, by this point klepto Louise has managed to acquire a glass, a
flower in a vase, and the JD serving tray to offer them to Jesse on.
