Hi chums. I was at the hospital this morning about my knee. It seems that I need some physio, but then I'll soon be back tap-dancing through Mala's World again.I got a taxi home from the hospital, and my route goes through Holyrood Park, which is a large park in the centre of the city. Our turn-off is along a road which has Holyrood Palace (where the Queen and other big-wigs stay when they're in Edinburgh) on one side, and The Scottish Parliament building on the other. My taxi driver whizzed (driving tech. term) round the corner into this road and I noticed a policeman and policewoman standing in the middle of the road, chatting away.
We zoomed past the cops, only to have my driver break sharply as there was a whole battalion of soldiers in the road in front of us.
The policewoman just stood there in shock, with her jaw hitting the ground, and the policeman ran after us shouting, "STOOOOOPPPPP!!!!"The policeman caught up with us and said, "Didn't you see us stopping you?", and my driver said, "You were too busy chatting so we didn't know the road was closed." The cop coughed a wee bit, laughed, and let us turn round to continue to the next exit from the park.
Thankfully the troops had their backs to us, as I can just imagine them all scattering out of the way if they'd seen us heading straight for them. (or maybe they'd start shooting at us?)
