from todays evening news,
consultants have been appointed?

Denise

thanks all. Me and the bump will be in Porty this weekend to empty my flat (or supervise at least).
Will give you a buzz and maybe meet for a camomile tea or splash out and have a half of guinness!

Denise

Bargain! Wonder if Burntisland Community Council would be interested in buying the package. :) Burntisland also has a golf course and no high school and no superstore (yet). It's like a kind of parallel universe I can wave to you from the other side and maybe get a hovercraft over on a nice day. Won...

Denise

Burntisland, is it the new Portobello?

I think we just bought a house there. It has a prom, high street, historic buildings...

Denise

Sorry for my lack of observational skills, thought the tank chairs were already in production. AND... when did you get to be a moderator Rapunzell! hmmmmm? :) The chairs with the all terrain wheels way back at the start of this thread are available though. Are other authorities hiring them out? Seem...

Denise

The first sandy beach in Scotland will be providing them this year - in Lerwick, Shetland! I called the contact number earlier today to check but there was no reply so I'll get back to them later. Wow! (They were probably all out playing on the new tank chair). Looks great. Could be stored at Edinb...

Kitcheners have Adamson's Pittenweem oatcakes (YUM!) hand made chunky and messy.

not particularly good for dunking except in broth perhaps (good weather for broth)

Denise

Cleopas I have a friend who does reflexology (accupressure without needles), I find it really good for general destressing and also specific pain relief. I don't know if you can get it on NHS yet, but might be worth asking. The Chinese have been doing it for huners o years so it can't be all mumbo j...

Denise

Congratulations! Wonderful news. Hope yer all doin well and settling in together.

from today's evening news, looking for contacts from 70's Porty band

Mr Magnolia said,

And I have a semi-professional connection to Denise...

I'm confused and intrigued.
Wish I could make the christmas night out now...
would be good to put faces to names.

Denise

I've only lived in Porty for a couple of years.
To the best of my knowledge I've only met Rapunzell and BillyBob.
All that could be changed if someone would sell us a hoose in Porty so we weren't exiled in Leith anymore...

Denise

yes, I already got my filling!

tee-hee

Denise

tis a Wemyss cat, my gran had one.
I was at the dentist for a free check up as I'm "with child", It's quite difficult to flirt with a bump and dentist hands in your mouth.

Denise

:( no new house yet. Still trying to sell one in Leith and then one in King's Rd. Anyone want to buy in Leith and sell up in Porty? We'll definitely need a garden now we have a (temporary) kitten. And I have an Oompah Loompah in my tummy, due 10 April. I've been busy playing with Wemyss the cat and ...

Denise

our house guest. Wemyss the cat is staying with us while her owner is in hospital. She's bonkers and very sweet.

We don't know how old she is (she's very young and tiny) or anything else really. But she seems to have taken to us.

Denise

were you assisted up the stairs by the lovely young Irish dentist?!
I went there for the first time too last week and I will be sure not to miss any more six month check ups.

Denise

I lived on a farm for a while when I was wee. The cows used to be brought in to barns in the winter and fed turnips and silage (?) the smell was fairly unavoidable. Very festive!

Denise

I did it! Just in the nick of time. My very own Tumshie Heid carved last night (smells like cows bums).
Rapunzell did you try resizing photo in photoeditor or something? D

Denise

where???????

The trick is to buy clothes with slightly stretchy material and hang them up on clothes hangers to dry.

(Or not. Just have the brass neck to wear clothes wrinkly and claim it's a fashion statement/the fabric is meant to be like that)

Denise

I whole heartedly agree with all of Dadaist's comments above and would like to add that irons are burny. Which is why I don't own either an ironing board or an iron.
Life's too short for ironing and bad wine.
I buy clothes that don't need to be ironed.

Denise

8. big bird from sesame street?

Denise

7a. A chicken?
7b. "Human" cannonball?
7c. Fired from a cannon?

haven't seen the movie either, but Gonzo was my favourite muppet (closely followed by Animal).

Denise

Are the baths and swim centre not run by Edinburgh Leisure (part of City of Edinburgh Council)? If so Alan McGregor should be able to approach them in an official capacity.

Denise

according to a reliable Largo source the mats were old conveyor belts from a coal mine. Kind of fabric weave with rubber and stapled together at the seams. They've now installed a more permanent slip way. Maybe there would be a source of old conveyor belts around (Factory? recycling plant? Scotmid c...

Denise

oh yeah!

Largo bay sailing club used to have rubber mats from the car park to the hard sand (below high tide mark) for wheeling dinghies down on trailers. I'll try to make some enquiries there too.

Denise

I found this very amusing

so did I (and I'm from Fife)

I hope they get the environmental approval they're looking for as it sounds like a good idea in theory. Maybe avoid more cars coming into Edinburgh? And remove the jet skis at the same time?!

Denise

things are really moving along. Glad the paths for all folks are getting involved, it takes a lot of energy and time to deal with different public bodies. Let me know if you want some help when the Phil person comes to do surveys. I'd be really interested to hear what they say too. suggestions for f...

Denise

how about these folks...

http://www.pathsforall.org.uk/index.shtml

they seem to be a sort of coordinating body with links to a lot of the others you mentioned. Maybe they could help with communications and organising things. They could maybe even advise on funding available?

Denise

people call themselves "celebrities" so they can start a career in film/television

Denise

I think this should definitely be in Portobello matters. I'm sure the council has an obligation to provide access for all, where possible, under the recent legislation.
