But sometimes being overwhelmed with
activity is unavoidable, and so this GTD idea intrigues me. It was
a just a little bit scary, with all those ominous-looking brushes
hitting against the door windows, just centimeters away from where
I was sitting. But I'm hoping that this brief reunion will be the
spark that we all need to keep in better contact in the future.
The festival does take its toll on this town. So I only had a couple.
The summer is almost over, and things are beginning to get back
to normal, after the hectic nature of the Festival. In all, I've
sung in a total of four different concerts and five different church
services in the last month. But with everyone packing up and heading
home over the next few days, I'm sure the city will feel suddently
very quiet. The summer is almost over, and things are beginning
to get back to normal, after the hectic nature of the Festival.
It felt a bit strange to have the
bar open for normal business while filming was in progress, but
also interesting for us to be in the midst of all this action. Certainly,
several of the places I visited were mobbed with people, and some
were turning away visitors. And one of the advantages of living
in Edinburgh, is that interesting things can happen completely out
of the blue. The summer is almost over, and things are beginning
to get back to normal, after the hectic nature of the Festival.
They tell you that it's going to fire at one o'clock. Luckily for
me however, I managed to escape a full afternoon's drinking, as
I needed to go and visit a sick friend. This departing friend had
organised his final farewell drinks in one of Edinburgh's most famous
public houses. Since then, I've perked up a bit; that's despite
having received another job rejection letter.
In all, I've sung in a total of
four different concerts and five different church services in the
last month. What I didn't realise was that they were actually filming
scenes inside the bar, while us customers enjoyed our drinks in
the adjoining side room. But in contrast, today has been especially
unproductive. It was quite a loud sound, and some of the crowd were
quite shocked. Early rain this morning put me off the idea of going
out for the day, so I've been hanging around at home most of the
time. Since then, I've perked up a bit; that's despite having received
another job rejection letter. And for that, you can't help but enjoy
their efforts. So I only had a couple. And best of all, it felt
almost as if we had never been apart. As such, with the continuing
televisation of all the Rebus stories, the Oxford must earn a fortune
in location fees from all the film crews passing through. And I
don't want to end up being bored at home with nothing to do. But
no matter about that. And I did end up having a truely fantastic
summer.
