If you have read the blog about the sheep sign and my adventuring around Holyrood park with 17 dogs, you will appreciate why the simplicity of this sign I saw in my mates holiday shots made me smile. This is my mate Kev and the sheep sign he found.

This sign is perhaps not as effective in attracting dogs and their owners to read it and certainly not the type of sign that might be the hero at a press launch in Holyrood park, but still it does the job.

Adrian and Brian take note next time if we could try not to be clever, perhaps it's not so effective but at least I won't have to get down and dirty with the dog food.

See if you can guess what I will be doing this weekend...

High heels? Check.
Planned outfit? Check.
Cocktail venue agreed? Check.
Handful of excitable female friends? Check.

Yes. Me and my pre-booked tickets are off to see the new Sex and the city film, and yes to Adrian and Brian's amazement I am looking forward to it.

Although a willing part of it I have been truly amazed at the phenomenon that has taken over women throughout the UK this week. I know women who are going last night, tonight, tomorrow matinee, tomorrow night,Sunday night etc.

I love the fact everyone is dressing up for it like we are all in it or going to the premiere. Heels are a mandatory, most have planned an outfit. And, yes, there are quite a few cocktail dresses out and proud.

Brilliant. All to see an extended sit com on the big screen. (not to mention the cheeky cosmo fuelled night out afterwards of course.)

What a result for the cast and crew. Gee I wonder if they'll do a sequel?

So, to all those boutique shops,bar owners, shoe sellers, photographers, beauty salons, geez even sex therapists, now is your time to jump on the bandwagon, get involved, the SATC pound will climb high this month.

Come along to mightysmall and you'll realise there is always lots of chat about tea. Who wants a cup? Which type? Is Tamsin's organic, caffeine free stuff actually drinkable? (You get the picture.)

This blog in fact is not about tea but about a good film I watched at the weekend. The film is called The Darjeeling Limited and is the latest film directed by Wes Anderson and Written by Roman Coppola. The cast is good. Bill Murray, Angelica Houston, Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody etc. They have all worked together before previously on the Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.

The movie was borne out of the success of a short film which Wes Anderson created first called Hotel Chevalier. The short film is on the DVD as a prologue which I thought was great, it worked almost like a secret before you see the full length film.

The two films are great, they are funny, quirky and beautifully shot.
The story itself is based on three brothers who haven't spoken for a year and go on a spiritual journey across India in the hope of bonding. The characters are brilliant. Oh and I'm told that Natalie Portman in her first ever nude scene also made it worth the watch ;)

Anyway it has my recommendation for some light entertainment.

Hopefully it will be your cup of tea.

Hurrah! This week I purchased a bicycle.

I am looking forward to summer cycles, country roads, sun shining, wind blowing through the hair lalalaa...

Ha the reality is I'm ashamed to say, until I get some practice in, the experience so far can only be described as 'hairy'. Whoever began the phrase, 'it's just like riding a bike' clearly had not been bikeless for as long as I have.

I bought my bike from Richard at Leith Cycles Co, not only was he close by and had the bike I wanted but more importantly he has a url which made me laugh www.greatbikesnobull.com

Sadly, the day I bought my bike I learnt from Richard, and later a friend who had witnessed it, that a cyclist had been killed on his way to work that morning on South Bridge. The cause of the accident is still unknown but what I also learned from Richard is that the number of cyclists in road accidents has multiplied with this crazy road situation in Edinburgh just now.

Without soap-boxing too much, it seems that for a council who are keen to get all the drivers out of the city, some proper bike lanes would not go amiss?

Again Richard at the bike shop tells me he and others are on it. Fighting the cyclists corner. Until then me, my cycling and sexy cycle helmet will stick to sunny cycle paths and quiet roads.

Take care.
