nice-itis

edinburghites (edinburghians? edinburghers?) are suffering from an epidemic of niceness. i suspected as much when i was last here, but my day yesterday confirmed it. everyone is nice. or kind. or cordial. sometimes all three, even!

O2 employees? nice. bankers? nice. construction workers? nice. cats? nice! (one even followed me, purring, for two blocks.) gruff looking men cleaning their apratment window? nice.

and so on and so on.

i actually have not encountered one person who hasn't been nice. not one. which is both shocking and delightful.

oh. and i have a flat. as of saturday. yes. i do. hoooray!!!

Yeah, I'm always telling mom that she has to learn to deal with flats, but she refuses. I blame Debbie. Good to hear that you're better about it!

Funny jokes aside, send me the info on the place. NOW. Do it.

Hmm...well, Macbeth was the king of Scotland, residing, most likely, in that Castle you can see out your window and HE sure wasn't nice...and those witches....
