Well, this mud field used to be the host of London 2012 Equesteirian. Hard to believe that it's only a few monts ago... John and I made a long walk to see what's left of the Olympics...and that is nothing. Sad, but we have "our" Park back :-)

Dreharbeiten für Thor 2 sind auf Hochtouren - ein einziges Desaster, Menschen in schwarzen Umhängen kommen aus der Maske, Wasserschläuche machen alles nass (ok, hat wohl nicht genug geregnet ;-) ), Trümmerteile überall... Filmset for Thor 2 is a disaster, wreckage everywhere, black dressed walk by you, they need to water the filmset, as it did not rain enough...

Filming of the Thor is happening, fun to watch BUT no pictures aloud :-( and they had many guards there.... I could only sneak this mediocre picture....and they chased us away when a scene was shot, so that we are not in the background. Oh well...

My last post from Edinburgh for now :-) John and I were also at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle in the background. An amazing spectacle with 1000 performers, hundreds of musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers. Worth to go!

Yes, we found a Thistle while being in Scotland - the symbol for Scotland. Beautiful looking, but with sharp prickles. That was the alarm for the Scots, when a Norse Invador stepped on one barefoot and cried out in pain. So what's the learning of the legend? Do not step on a Thistle :-)
