Thickest knit in town

Sunny and chilly dawns the Edinburgh day. Guilt-inducing breakfast has been poked at-much brisk walking needed to counteract its toxic effects. The warmest place in town is the BBC tent on Potterow where much drinking is needed to keep hydrated (as you might have noticed).
Getting into the swing of things here after a good time yesterday with Paul Carrack, Greg Proops, Ian Rankin and co. with lots of blogger representation on the front row! Setting the standard!
Today we have our thickest jumpers on as we get a regal visit from the imperious Sofie Grabol, famously detective Sarah Lund in the The Killing. She's in town starring as Queen Margaret in James III: The True Mirror-it's her first theatre performance in English and I'm very excited.
Plus The Shires are our house band, and John Lloyd is back. The creator of Spitting Image, QI and Not The Nine O'Clock News is presenting a spin-off show from his Radio 4 series The Museum of Curiosity right here. And he wants to tell you all about it.
PLUS! Russell Grant on the celebrity confession stage so how about songs for the PLANETS and THE HEAVENS and THE CONSTELLATIONS and that kind of thing...
Wrapping up warm then.
