Have it taped Robert.

Emma :-)

Forgot to say that daughter and her OH we're there the night
they were filming it.

I was at the Tattoo tooooo.
BBC were also filming on the night that we went ( Thurs 15th) but it was pouring with rain. I never saw ANY rain in tonight's show.
The poor Lochiel Drill Girls got so wet that night

Don't you just love the New Zealand guys?
Gangnam Style :-D :-D :-D :-D

The tattoo used to shown on New Years Day here, on the ABC.

It's still shown, but I always find out about it too late!

Gave up....... I now find it on YouTube. I wonder when this year's will be there??!

LadyScozz... you should be able to watch the Tattoo on BBC iplayer... available to view for about another week?

Thanks GLass....... I'll have a look.

I'm hobbling about this morning.

Neighbour's dogs came over to say hello yesterday & the BIG one stood on my bare foot...... I now have a black big toe!

:-(

What a beautiful view :-)

John,
on the news this morning they were talking about plans to build a viewing platform on the top of that (Forth Railway) Bridge - just imagine what the view from that would be like!

Glass !

There are a few clips of the Tattoo on YouTube. :-D

I think this might be the NZ army band you liked:

:-D

Potty - in the 1980's I worked for a scaffolding firm in Edinburgh, at that time they supplied and installed the cradles used for painting the bridge - I have been up there a few times, it is a beautiful view, but going up there is not for the faint-hearted ;-)

Lady Scozz hope your poor old toe is ok ....was the dog all right :-D
Fair enjoyed the link to NZ Army at the Tattoo .... Ohh I want to go home!! :-(
OFTG love the photo for the Forth Bridge proud to say my gt g/f helped to build it think they painted it last year with special paint and it won't be needing done for about 20/30 years ....wish I could do that with the house lol!
Well a lovely beautiful day here in Harrogate think it's time for a cuppa out in the sun ...just picked a bowl full of small tomatoes far to many for us as there are loads left will have to give them to the family , if they come up!, :-S

How's the toe Scozz... sounds ouchy <3 <3

As a child, I honestly thought the trains went up and down, up and down....
First time I saw a train on the Forth Rail Bridge....I was absolutely... GUTTED!!

lol Thankyou for your concern about my toe :-D

It's changed to a nice shade of purple.

I forgot to say........... after the big dog stood on my toe, his mother wanted to say hello...... and she jumped on my leg....... I've also got a bruise on my thigh!

I bruise easily! The daughter dog wasn't well, she was limping ....... maybe her mum & brother jumped on her too. She didn't jump on me.

They're lovely dogs, very good natures, but they're BIG & look scary. The boy dog has decided he is my protector. If a stranger comes around the dog runs over here and stands between me and the stranger. I don't think he'd ever do anything, but he's letting strangers know that he's around. I'm not objecting one little bit.



:-D

What's the difference between Bing Crosby & Walt Disney?

:-S ?

Bing sings & Walt disnae.

:-D :-D :-D

Lady Scozz ....That should be banned :-D :-D

Lady Scozz ..... those poor dogs what have you done to them :-( :-D

A woman goes to the Doctor in Glasgae

She’s, worried about her husband's temper and threatening manner.

The Doc asks: "What's the problem, Janet?”

"Weeell Doctor Pat, I dinae know what to doo. Every time ma hubbie comes home drunk, he threatens to slap me aroond."

The Doctor says: "Aye, well.. I have a real good cure for that.

When your husband arrives home intoxicated, just take a wee glass of water and start swishing it in your mooth. Just swish and swish but dinna swallow it until he goes to bed and is soond asleep."

Two weeks later she comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn. She says: "Doctor that was brillyant! Evrae time ma hubbie came home drunk, I swished with the water. I swished an' swished, and he didnae touch me even once!

Tell me Doc... wha's the secret? Hoo's does the water do that?"

The Doctor says: "Janet hen, it's really nae big secret. The water doos bugger all - it's keeping your mooth shut that doos the trick."

Potty :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I was playing with the dogs.........

Fetch the stick..........

They took off, the stick came back, and I haven't seen the dogs since.

:-D

The stick was a boomerang

Potty / Lady Scozz :-D :-D :-D

Off tomorrow for 3 weeks up the West coast with a stop off in Braemar for the Gathering. If your up that way and see a large motorhome with a grumpy, bearded driver, a rather chubby front seat passenger and two black and white collies, give us a wave.

Fingers crossed the weather stays dry!
