Joseph at The Playhouse

The four of us headed to the Playhouse for a 6 pm showing of Joseph. It was pretty good but all agreed that Donnie Osmond detracted rather than added to the experience.

 

Christmas 2024

Oops - no Christmas Day photos this year. There were 5 of us on Christmas day with Les being a fairly brief visitors for the Christmas meal. Max had a cold which would eventually afflict the rest of the family over the festive period. Max headed across to Poland on 27 - 31 December to visit Kasia and family. Hannah was with us through to 3 January.

Christmas Lights at the Botanic Gardens

With Max and Hannah both home for Christmas we had a Christmas Eve trip to the night lights at the Botanics. It was a lot bigger and more impressive than we all expected. Worth doing this or similar again.

 

Arthur's Seat Summit Sunrise

Out for a morning run and arrived at the top of Arthur's seat at the moment of sunrise. Lovely.

 

Sufjan Stevens Christmas Songs

Community choir and musicians - with maybe a few professionals as well for a couple of hours of Christmas songs  written by Sufjan Stevens. Pleasant fun show.

Daniel Martinez Flamenco at Queens Hall

Excellent Flamenco show from a group that turned out are mainly from Edinburgh but have been touring extensively for the past few years.

 

Alan Cumming and Kirsty Wark at Lyceum Theatre

Alan Cumming in conversation with Kirsty Wark plus audience Q&A at the Lyceum in a fund raising event. We paid a bit extra for the good seats and for drinks and meet and greet afterwards.

 

Heidi Talbot & Boo Hewerdine at Queens Hall

Nice concert at the Queens Hall. Just two guitars, two voices and lots of banter. Very good. Nice acoustics. I remember seeing Boo Hewerdine play in Cambridge back in 1986 or thereabouts as part of The Bible! when their not quite a hit song Graceland was getting radio airplay. I may have seen him another time in between as well.
