porous membrane

Up in Scot­land for the wee­kend. Blog­ging light till after then.
I expect to be utterly mur­de­red by com­ment spam in the mean­time.
[SATURDAY UPDATE:] Curently in Edin­burgh. What I said about Paris ear­lier I would say also applies here.

I just think they’re more con­cer­ned with pre­ser­ving what they’ve got, rather than fin­ding new things to get exci­ted about. And anyone or any group that does that is going to pay a cer­tain spi­ri­tual price.

For all the roman­tic notions that these kind of pla­ces have, there’s a rea­son why I’m loo­king at going to Asia more clo­sely.
[SUNDAY UPDATE:] In Edin­burgh, about to catch train to Glas­gow. Had a great time seeing old friends (from high school, no less).
Too much on at the moment…

    Bah! I hate com­ment spam. My word­press blog blocks that stuff I think.

    SEPARATE.
    Damn. You’re right.
    Looks like I’ll have to redraw it.
    It’s OK.… I was thin­king the guy’s facial expres­sion could be impro­ved a bit, as well…
    I’m a TERRIBLE spe­ller, btw

    Hugh I emi­gra­ted to Edin­burgh with family when I was 10 years old and twenty six years later I can tell you Edin­burgh has chan­ged a LOT. Cafe cul­ture for a start there was a time that the only place you could go at night was a res­tuarnt or a pub (and most none too wel­co­ming to women). Edin­burgh is very unwel­co­ming to new archi­tec­ture not sur­pri­singly since its always meant des­tro­ying geor­gian squa­res and put­ting up the Basil Spence horrors in George Square, or the St James’ Cen­tre. We will draw a veil over the (cough) scot­tish par­lia­ment and not men­tion (cough) Kirsty Wark being on the panel to chose it (cough)… A friend of mine who had pre­viously lived in Glas­gow and esca­ped across to Edin­burgh said ‘Edin­burgh is a place you come to hide’. She’s right its full of hid­den clo­ses, dark cor­ners, and secrets.

    Yes, M, a lot of good things are hap­pe­ning in Edin­buirgh. And it’s a lot of fun to go out there… a lot more urbane than it was 20 years ago.
