A high five with gembo on the canal towpath this morning. I felt a little rusty after having been on holiday for a couple of weeks, but we made fairly comfortable contact.

@IWRATS I spotted a similar (the same?!) gold-sprayed bike chained up outside George Heriot's yesterday evening.

The gold bike is apparently a memorial to children lost to cancer.

The singing cyclist on the canal back singing again this morning. She had not been singing the last few times I have spotted her.

Dude cycling his MTB at a fair pace down Minto Street with an Irish Setter running on a lead beside him.
Before any of you kick off both were wearing hi-viz and helmets.

I need photos of the dog wearing a helmet.

Two guys on fully loaded bikes at Roseburn, each of them with large sheets of cardboard strapped to their backs. Hope the wind doesn't pick up...

@unhurt No response yet, maybe your pigeon got waylaid?

I would dearly love to learn that CCE has a fax number.

I've set up fax-to-email services before. There was something immensely satisfying about sending yourself a fax which you then get delivered by PDF in your inbox.

“I've set up fax-to-email services before”
I did too, 15 years ago(?)
Can’t remember when I last used it.
Still a thing apparently -

So it is entirely possible that we could support fax to post...
Spotted Gembo, this morning who muttered something and pointed. I think he was indicating that I was just coming up behind the canal singer. As I was shortly treated to some full on Opera style song.

@dougal @chdot faux fax?

If you ever ask for a book in the National Library you'll see a tray behind the desk marked 'Non-urgent Faxes'.
I did ask but the assistant rolled her eyes so far they practically went into orbit.
I worked in a place that had a fax machine in 2010 but it just spat out junk mail and scams all day long. Fancy doing fax scams for a living.

@IWRATS fax phishing?

Fax-mediated Nigerian scam has a certain technological dead-end charm to it.

I spotted an amazing bike in the courtyard at work today it was a 1959 Flying Scot. All slender tubes and elegant joins. It had been copper plated and Buckie Flyers No 2 inscribed on the crossbar. Being offered by Young Walter the owner of the leith based company VELOW.
Excellent chat with Walter. If it helps you with the very stiff asking price, the seller (not young Walter) wishes to release cash to buy his partner an engagement ring.
Young Walter said the front ring had 53 teeth. There were four cogs only on the rear. One bar end shifter though bosses for down tube shifters.
Factoid from Young Walter, Shand have a subsidiary or related workshop based out of The Free Company in Balerno.

@paddyirish heading into Dalmeny this evening. I must have been early or he late as we more often pass while I'm puffing my way over the bridge.
My work still uses fax machines, both traditional and 21st century version. Just last year we upgraded our system for sending faxes via our email.
The modern world of finance might be all hi-tech but when it comes to submitting offers for purchasing a house fax still reigns supreme.

Giant diesel spill from Elm Row, all the way round London Road roundabout and up towards Picardy Place. It disappears around the Theatre Royal, inexplicably. Found myself trapped between aggressively driven vehicles, riding gingerly through this spill and hoping for the best. This message is sent to you from my work, not a hospital bed.

Back in 2004 I could have, had I wished, received a fax on my portable telephone and been able to forward it to a physical fax machine later on. Unfortunately I had to test this by using print-to-fax software on a network-enabled electric computer. It's a bit like having to play MP3 files out through the audio output onto a cassette recorder in order to be able to play them in the car, which lacked a CD player at the time.

Musketeer on his unicycle. Gorgie end of Dalry. The son thought he also spotted a monkey on his shoulder. We were on top deck of bus and had been in the Waverley bar for one pint (it was boiling as they had th heating on earlier)
