On a glorious Saturday morning we had another long and arduous rugby training session. The pitches are like concrete at the moment because of the recent lack of rain. This is pretty tough on my old joints and I have been experiencing some lower back pain since Saturday's session.
After rugby the missus and I went to Peckhams - http://www.peckhams.co.uk/RP1.html - to get some food and drinks to take to the Botanical Gardens - http://www.rbge.org.uk/ and laze about in the sun.
On Saturday night it was Ralf's 30th birthday and the big oaf couldn't decide whether he was coming or going. Eventually we met up with him in the Pleasance Courtyard and got stuck into a few drinks.
The Pleasance Courtyard and indeed the whole of Edinburgh's city centre is now hoaching because of the Festival - http://www.edfringe.com/ . Edinburgh is certainly a good place to be during the month of August.
After that we went along to check out the Hullaballoo (replacing the Spiegle Tent) and the Udderbelly.
After walking from the Pleasance to George Square, my bladder was fit to burst and what followed was probably one of the most undignified moments of my career to date.
I decided to relieve myself in an Edinburgh University building opposite the entrance to the Hullaballoo. I was just about to release a pent-up jet of steaming piss when my mate shouted on me.
I turned round to see two police officers walking towards me so I pinched the flow without any liquid actually hitting the ground. The police officer told me that I was particularly lucky as if any piss had hit the floor then I would be eligible for a £40 pound fine.
I then removed my hand from my erstwhile chum and aforementioned jet of piss spurted out and soaked my underwear and trousers. The police found this hilarious as did my friends and my girlfriend.
We headed to the Udderbelly after that for a few more drinks. Both the Pleasance and the Udderbelly tick all the boxes for me. Ralfy and co headed to Opal Lounge after that but me and the missus just headed home via the chippy.
Sunday morning I went to collect my bike then read the papers and then went to the cinema to watch The Ugly Truth - predictable but worth watching none the less.
Now it's back to work - boooooooooooooo
