Have you blown out the Race Night?

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 02 Oct 2004, 21:39

Yes, El Presidente and I decided to have a quiet night seeing as what we is going away tomorrow. He did buy 8 horses, though!

And why are you not there, eh??????

You're right (I think!) with the second one.

As Ali and I had our wee Sunday morning stroll round Porty (the place!!) just now he spotted where the first of your pics was taken, Wangi.
It's on the roof of the tenement building, above the Scotmid Funeral shop. I think the whole block at one time belonged to the Co-op.

Later on in our walk we may have passed Dada, hanging off a garden gate having a blether in Marlbie Street.

But as I've only ever seen him in his orange pants before.................................................?

Yup, the first is above the Coop Funeral "shop" on the corner of the High St and Pipe St. The second is above Foresters on the corner of High St and Bridge St.

I stand and look at these every morning at the bus stop. But I'm not on-line over the weekend, so I could not answer!

Oops, sorry Jay!

Treat yourself to a PC for Xmas maybe????

Post by **wangi** » 04 Oct 2004, 10:26

Don't worry - i'll take a few more during the week

The PC isn't the problem - I have a super one - it's the cost of being on-line that I can't manage at the moment. The phone-bill is bad enough!

And I don't have teenage kids, either!

Actually, I've been trying to figure out how to access the site from my mobile over a weekend, but haven't fathomed it yet - though I CAN get at, and use my email!

Of course, I could always stroll along to the library .........

I wonder if Wangi has any pictorial more brain-teasers. It's interesting.

Sorry - Wangi's post wasn't up when I wrote mine! Look forward to some more 'bits' of Portobello.
