Previosuly, on WithWood

I’ve been away so long, not sure about sitting here and recalling all of my adventures, I don’t have the time or the memory capacity.

Forwards, not backwards, sometimes sideways, but not often. So, instead of letting you all in on the past few weeks WithOutWood, I thought I would just delve deep into my phone and show you what we achieved.

Here we go…

Hay-fever

A WithWood special – but for now summer has been and gone, time to replace my summer sneezes with festival flu.

Festival Furore

I forgot that the festival was happening so soon and left it too late to buy the cheaper tickets, I’ve already started to become annoyed by tourists – which is a great sign of me finally being a Scottish.

Sculpture

My housemate got play-doh for his birthday, I couldn’t help but rekindle my love for Henry Moore.

The phallus was later thrown against the living room wall, in years to come people will wonder why there is a green stain in our flat, they’ll never guess! Unless they are you.

Meat

The local curry house seemed to have some of the strangest meat in their bins…

I don’t search all bins, just interesting ones, the smell from the restaurant was amazing, but the screams from the kitchen were a little over the top.

Music

Polish DJs are amazing, but I was slightly dissapointed by the foam party only lasting one hour.

Rested

Another speciality, my feet settled in to the new flat pretty quickly, although my hands are a different story altogether.

So that’s my life in a pistachio nut shell, I think we’re all up to speed now. Soon I can update you on my new pet, my new pub, my new friend and my new shoes. Excited? I doubt it.

Wood

Catch The Pigeon

Couldn’t, too fast.

You’re Not Welcome Here.

Today I saw a birdhouse with no front door, I’m not sure if it was designed this way to keep the birds out or to lock them in.

Leith’s first and only bird prison, location – classified.

ATTACKED!!!

Who would have thought it? Your friendly narrator was attacked down by the waters of Leith today.

There I was, strolling down the frozen path avoiding the unmentionables, when a giant creature came walking towards me.

It was enormous! About the size of five babies!!!

I turned my-pod off and took at look at the beast, it let out a huge roar and then stood their with beak ajar. I asked the creature to vacate the path and join his friends in the water, but he seemed more than happy just where he was.

I didn’t know what to do, I’d heard these things could take your arm off and that was the last thing I wanted to happen on a Thursday.

I attempted to walk around it but each time I tried the swan would bark and then sidestep with me.

I thought if I moved closer it would run away, but instead the swan went for me, my whole blog flashed before my eyes – was this the end for WithWood?

No.

Luckily he missed me!

I was left with no other choice, I had to turn back and find another route. The swan had won this round, but the war is far from over!
