And if you live in Paisley watch out that you don't fall down drain holes. I don't know, you can't leave anything lying around. I once had my washing nicked off the line - apparently, it's called 'getting snowdropped'. It wasn't even fancy underwear - it was tea towels and an old duvet cover.

I watched Case Histories last night, and Edinburgh looked lovely. I thought the first episode was very good, with some strange characters, but then I have never read Kate Atkinson. I am sure Jason Isaacs as Jackson Brodie will be a big hit with ladies who blog. My recorder is set for the rest of the series.
