Just walked through town. \u00a0I am sure you have clocked sculptor Anthony Gormley<\/a>\u2019s \u00a0bronze statues all over town. They are strangely compelling. They are all in his image, naked.\u00a0 Bit of\u00a0 a meglo thing to do if you ask me. But you didn\u2019t.\u00a0 So anyway,\u00a0 I am happy to report the one in Stockbridge is now wearing a dress. A particularly unattractive floral baggy number \u2013 the sort of thing Ma Broon<\/a> would sport for Sunday lunch or going to the bothy. \u00a0Obviously some pissed local has gone into a charity shop \u2013 or raided her mothers wardrobe \u2013 clambered in to the Water of Leith and clothes him to give us all a laugh. And laugh I did.<\/p>\n

I expect the cultural police will be down there in a flash \u2013 to remove it and give us all a flash of Anthony\u2019s bits \u2013 but hey ho for as long as it\u2019s there it may raise a smile on a rainy day.<\/p>\n

Another thing you must go and see if you are dog mad \u2013 yup me \u2013 is the exhibition at The City Art Centre<\/a>, newly opened after a million pound refurb the Wegman exhibition is wonderful. He takes photos of his weimaraners. You are handed a family tree so you can see who is who as you wander round going \u2018aaaaaaaaah\u2019 a lot. There is VT of them in scenarios he has thought up and also some vt of how he did it. The man is, appropriately, barking and \u00a38 to get in is a bit steep but there are concessions and really if you like dogs you will think it\u2019s worth every penny.\u00a0 Woof!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
