So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
-The Sound of Music

Today is officially the last day of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Hoorah! They're starting to dismantle things, notably the big tent thing the BBC erected about a week into the festival, fashionably late. That may have been a good place to loiter for a bit of celebrity spotting but I never found. I'm not even sure they let the riff-raff in. Maybe I'll find out next year? In the mean time I'm just looking forward to the 5 minutes of peace the Southside will enjoy before the Freshers turn up. Oy vay!
