Fluffy has had its first free range living room experience yesterday and promptly disappeared inside the electric artificial open fire heating. Luckily it was switched off. He only returned four hours later to play in his wheel, chill out and eat a bit. Today I also got the good news that I am part of the Community Council, even without voting, as there are/were just enough nominations to fill all seats. The best about it is that I seem to know nearly everybody sharing the council with me, so it will be fun, because they are all good neighbours who enjoy a good rage against injustice, such as privatisation of public services, council house stock transfer and similar.

just to say that comments on this blog need to be approved now, as so much spam comments is hold up in moderation. At the moment there is Crufts 2006 going on in Britain, Europe’s biggest dog exhibition. The BBC does daily 2 hours reporting and has a comment section on their website. The Guardian ran its own mongrel picture competition of dogs, which is also sweet. Unfortunately I haven’t got any dogs, but if you live in or around Edinburgh and want to go on holidays, I am happy to dog-sit, especially non- or few-barking varieties, as have sensitive neighbours.

My home is now in both, Scotland and in Germany. I am comfortable in both and sometimes torn between them. But it was not always so. Five years ago, I imagined Scotland from afar to be like the South of England, stylish, but a bit more eccentric, with added tartaned kilts, snarring bagpipes, fury cows, castle ruins on green hills, sword-swinging Highlanders dancing Ceilidh and a general public fondness of pies and uniforms. At my arrival I was greeted by much rain and dark, grey skies. Basic living in this country seemed incredibly expensive. People seemed so reserved, an effort to socialise with and so polite that it was occasionally even deceptive.

A teenager, who plead _not guil_ty at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court was acquitted yesterday of an assault leading to injury and permanent disfigurement of the complainant. In the trial against Andrew C., 17, from Edinburgh,the witness statements have not proven to the majority of the jury, that he smashed a glass in the face of the family friend Daniel G. during a pub brawl at the Hibernian Supporters Club in Sunnyside, Edinburgh, a year ago. The evening of the birthday party ended with Daniel G. sustaining three wounds on the head and face, he needed forty stitches. Andrew C. claimed he threw a punch in self-defence, whilst also incriminating a friend of his,18-years old James.

When I came back it seemed the builders were here and put up an anti-pigeon net on the balcony. What a surprise. Last week, some activists from Leeds were in Edinburgh, conducting interviews for a book about Autonomy. This book is initiated by the Trapese collective and is said to be published by Pluto Books later this year.
