The Royal Mile
I wrote the following while standing on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, listening to music and watching the world.
The joy of closing your eyes and being able to listen to the bagpipes. I look into the distance and see a traffic cone on the head of a statue. I notice how much busier it is than in previous weeks — how a place comes alive at different times, and in different months and seasons. The joy of standing in the busy city and watching the world move around you — people sauntering and thinking and looking and catching and eating and speaking and jumping and being, of the crowds gathering to watch and hear the piper. Of letting the wind blow through my hair while the sun shines and the music plays; standing next to raised beds of flowers // the colours of green and pink and purple and white are soothing.
Reality Awaits!
And yes, it uses a vocoder throughout.
Bonus points if you don’t have to look it up. 😁
By the way, has everybody switched to that vibe-coded WordPress fork by now? What was it called again…?

That was actually pretty funny. But where did all the "zombies" go at the end??? I think this had more potential, especially the ending. But I also wish they had more utilised "Ivan and the Terribles". Nonetheless, this was worth a watch.
Next event: The Haunted on July 24, 2026, 20:00 at Turock, Essen.

I really feel for my English friends. I still remember Euro ‘96, when “Three Lions” came out. Thirty years of hurt already felt like a lot. But now … it’s 60?!? 😳
