Diary 5 - 6^th August 2000 & Images from Edinburgh.

Saturday 5^th August.
It took just over four and a half hours to drive up to Edinburgh through the rolling English countryside and the hills and glens of the border country. The Alva House, where I'd booked b & b was quite easy to find. When I arrived I was made to feel very welcome by Jimmy, a forty something, who takes care of the day-to-day running. He showed me to a single room and when I complained that there were no wardrobes he sympathised with me that there was nothing he could do to rectify the situation as all the rooms in the house were fundamentally the same. He did say he would talk to the owners about the situation as there was a double room and they may be willing to let me have that instead which would give me shelf space although there were still be no hanging space. I accepted this and moved my things. Jimmy offered to take me round the town to show me where the gay bars were and to drop me off at the sauna. I enjoyed the sauna, sweated profusely in the steam room and played round with a couple of Chinese boys in the jacuzzi. I got back to my guest house and slept soundly after my long drive.

I arrived at the border between England and Scotland on August 5th 2000.	There were lots of people moving around the Border stone.
Some were examining the map to find out exactly where they were located	While others, myself included, went to buy a tea at "The Border Snack Bar"

Sunday 6^th August.

I motored over to Liberton in the south of the city to take a look at my old school. The front of the building and the gardens had hardly changed at all over the years.	However the interior which is essentially a large square courtyard was covered in concrete flags in my day and is now paths and gardens. Of course Dr Guthrie's Boy's School is now a nursing home and residential centre for old people.
Waverley Station stands right in the centre of Edinburgh City.	In the afternoon there was a big parade through the centre of the city and there follows a selection of photographs depicting the colourful scenes.
Motorcycle riders with bags of many shapes and sizes make their way slowly	and are followed by the Pipe bands.
with the musicians displaying splendid military uniforms	In the distance it seems a monster is beginning to appear
These beautiful girls came all the way from Australia and that they looked magnificent	Most of the Commonwealth countries were able to display something from their individual culture and traditions.
though not all have six-packs and wonderful figures	The Royal Canadian Mounted Police seem to have left the horses behind
A young musician with his brass instrument	Time passes and the monster slowly makes its way along the route.
eventually he came close to me and the children lining the road were screaming with joy as they loved the monster	I couldn't get out of my doughnut?
Some schools too join in the festivities	Another band another trumpeter playing brave marching songs
while the Oriental representatives display their weapons.	I have no idea who this guy represents
This attractive man had beautifully coordinated hair, bike and outfit.	Edinburgh Evening News cavalcade
Another pipe band fills the air with the wonderful sound of the bagpipes	while these angelic creatures promote peace.
University students can be so innovative in their quest for the promotion of peace in our time.	there were all kinds of musical instruments on display it seems he is hitting his castanet with a lollipop
My cock doesn't quite reached my knees but as you can see it is fair weapon.	These colourful drummers take up the beat on a fabulously warm bright afternoon
The policeman rides by with his huge truncheon hanging from his horse	The crowds line both sides of Princess Street
An emergency vehicle trundles along	These boys found an excellent vantage point to view the proceedings
This boy found a comfortable costume for a sunny afternoon	I spoke to this attractive young man with his pint of Guinness and he told me he was taking a rest now as he had thoroughly enjoyed the parade and the exciting activities of the afternoon.
In Scotland the bars and open all-day long so I popped into have a beer and made an acquaintance with this charming young man	Let us end with a picture of a Scottish piper

After the parade finished I wandered back toward the royal mile and found a restaurant where I ate dinner before returning to Alva House.

I went out again just after nine o'clock to freshen up at the sauna. There were only three people in the sauna and although I had some sexual fun, hugs, kisses and cuddles I didn't feel satisfied. holding this frustration within I went to Newtown bar where I spent the rest of the evening chatting and drinking.

When I came back to my hotel room I found that the young Asian boy, James, in the single room next door was still up and about so I invited him to join me. We had a very pleasing and satisfying session on my double bed. Short but very satisfying and after we finished he returned to his room and I fell asleep.
