I mentioned the Portobello open-air pool in a brief thread at the weekend, so inevitably I invested *way* too much time this week on exhaustively researching the history of this amazing attraction so that you too can join me on a thread about it. I mean who doesn't love an "Art Deco" lido?

"Enormous" queues for buses and trams to Silverknowes, Cramond and Portobello were reported as people escaped the heat of the city for the coast. Over the weekend, the Portobello open air pool had 14,610 visitors and took in £377 10s 9d at the turnstiles - although this was not a record.

The runners look like they were choreographed at today’s Kilomarathon in Edinburgh. Well down to all those involved. #EdinburghVictoriaPark

This is Sligo. I caught him in one tiny moment of stillness before he returned to the process of annihilating my photo set at the humane society today. He is available for adoption in Burlington, VT! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...
