I bought Rae a golf set a few months ago. It naturally broke the day we bought it. I know it wasn’t like buying Cobra golf clubs but still I would have thought that they would have lasted longer than a few hours.
She hasn’t really played with it since we got it. I just knew she would have a lot of fun with it but I was wrong. Next time I will bypass the cheap, plastic $3 set and get her something a little more durable.

After weeks of searching, I found Wii Fit at our local Wal-Mart! I was so excited to get it home to play. Now I can stop looking at Ephedrasil Hardcore and other dieting pills since now I have Wii Fit.
I might have a lot of faith in Wii Fit to help me lose weight, but I do think that it can help you keep motivated. You can set goals for yourself and then everyday you can find out how close your are to it.
Wii Fit reminds me a lot of Brain Age, which I love. The toddler also loves Wii Fit and wants to play every time I do. That’s not surprising since that it was the case with the Guitar Hero guitar, the DDR dance pad, and the Rock Band drums. It would be unlike her not to want to play.
Besides from having to share my playing time, I really enjoy Wii Fit. It made those months of searching for it worthwhile.

I have to say dear readers, that the weather here in Edinburgh has been just fantastic this week. A couple of days ago I was sitting on a park bench opposite a pond, in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh, watching the graceful swans swimming around a floating council trash can, and a lady walked past and decided to stop and have a wee natter. Actually, her first, second, and third glance at me, was that with a look of concern, possibly due to the amount of Greggs the Bakers empty paper bags I had around me and the cake in my hand, but also to do with my pink skin colour. Yes, she stopped and started talking about the hot sun and my frying skin. It's not often I find myself telling a stranger (within 15 seconds) what SPF suncreen I'm wearing. This glamorous older lady, perhaps late 60's, was once a strawberry blonde, and as she walked off she called back that my hair would one day be white like hers. I dont mind, she was very pretty and I told her so.
We Scots are generally warm and friendly, there's just no doubt about it.
Anyway, let me just clarify something. I'm not entirely pink and freckly at the moment. Edinburgh does have a strict no nudity policy, and that's just for in your residence. Yes, you'll find signs scattered around the city reinforcing this fact. I was at the top of the Royal Mile just this past weekend, next to the Edinburgh Castle, and here you'll see a prime example. This sign, abrupt though it may seem, surely gets the message out, just how much skin do you see showing on this lovely Scottish summers day?
There's no plump teenagers in this photo which would alter the results slightly.
My camera, sunscreen, and I, are off to Linlithgow. Until next time.
