WE ARE ALL OF US IN THE GUTTER, BUT SOME OF US ARE LOOKING AT THE BASEMENTS

Submitted by Editor on

Few things are as interesting as other people’s little corners.

Spurtle makes a point of noseying such nooks, and on various errands today enjoyed three particularly interesting basements.

We accept that this isn’t world-shaking news, and is more likely to get us arrested than win us a Pullitzer prize, but we don’t care.

Top-right and below is an absolutely enormous geranium on Drummond Place. We estimate it to be about 10ft tall and in rude good health.

Also on Drummond Place, a gigantic po-faced owl, carved from a single section of tree trunk.

   

And finally, on Huntly Street: rather good meteorological advice for an Edinburgh August, but can any reader tell us where it's from?

@theSpurtle What happens if, while learning to dance in the rain, you slip on the wet pavement & bang your head?

@NewTownFlaneur @theSpurtle or even just get yourself tangled up in rubbish that ought to have been taken away already?
