Moisturizer - don't leave home without it!
I went for a walk the other day without using my facial moisturizer...bad idea. I could feel my skin chafe in the blowing wind. It gets cold and windy in Florida, but I've never had this problem at home. As much as I hate humidity I have to admit that it is beneficial to the skin.

I'll try this one more time....
I'm giving blogger a second chance. I deleted my blog and recreated it. Same title and everything. We'll see how it goes. If it gets locked again I won't start another one here. If it doesn't work for you, drop me an email and I'll send updates that way. ~Ang

We went to Edinburgh yesterday for the whole day. One of the places we visited was Greyfriars Kirkyard. Skull and crossbones and skeleton carvings are very prominent on the crypts and such. I took some pix but haven't downloaded them yet. The first skull I tried to photograph was difficult. Neither John nor I could get a pic from the pathway - it kept turning out black. I finally walked closer and got a good pic; I think the fellow was being ornery. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7779 This is a little piece about Greyfriars Bobby, the dog that visited his master's grave for 14 years.
We also had a short visit to the National Museum of Scotland and saw Dolly the sheep. I find it rather disturbing that she was stuffed and put on display.
I finally got to meet and see Saint Judes Infirmary live. They're fairly well known regionally, but still down to earth and friendly. I can't really describe their sound, but they put on a damn fine show. Look them up on MySpace.
Evening. Very lazy day trying to recover from Friday. Not feeling so well - feverish, sore throat. Amazingly my legs don't ache from all the walking. I must be in better shape than I thought.

Got rained on while out shopping. Imagine that! I need to get an umbrella. Everyday shopping here is like Christmas shopping at home; stores are ridiculously crowded and messy. I think I'll be getting my Christmas shopping done ASAP since it can only get worse (TG for Ativan!). I've gotten a good idea of where to find things and not get lost. This week I'll put that to the test.

I've had to send another request to have my blog unlocked at Blogspot. I don't think they are actually doing anything to resolve the problem. If anyone knows of another blog site out there that will actually work, let me know.
This has been an uneventful week...nothing much to report (unless you're interested in grocery shopping) and no new pix to post.
We went to Edinburgh to see Saint Jude's Infirmary again last night. The opening act was a little group called eagleowl http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=20280800 I'm no good at trying to describe how something sounds, so I won't even try. I just found their music beautiful and peaceful, and Clarissa has an amazing voice. SJI were wonderful again. They really get into what they're doing and put on a fun show. Guitar player Grant makes me think of a very shy Emo Philips on speed.
It's sunny today! We may go out this afternoon...there's a cathedral down by the river that I'd like to see...St. Andrew's. I'll probably take pix of it and anything else that catches my eye while we're out. Stay tuned.
