Another morning waking up to the sound of torrential rain. Jane says that even the locals believe this weather is exceptional. Small consolation. Our first show is just before midday at the Assembly Rooms, George Square that is a bit of a walk so we borrow the umbrella from the flat and try to stay dry, avoid the rivulets running down the steep, cobbled streets at the same time as dodging the other Fringe enthusiasts who also have umbrellas up. How we arrive at our destination with our eyes in contact is nothing short of a miracle.

The first show is a light piece of theatre based on Mark Twain's view of the first bible story. It demonstrates the differences between men and women first learned by Adam and Eve as they shared their first few days in the Garden of Eden or National Park as Eve wanted to rename it. Considering he wrote this in 1904 the differences still hold true in this modern age. Eve's declaration of love for Adam in her final speech had Jane in tears.

We had lunch at the Gilded Balloon where I managed to congratulate Ruby Wax on her superb show and have a brief discussion about depression and its effects on others.

Our first show of the afternoon was Tim Vine at the Pleasance Courtyard. We had great seats, not too near the front so we got "picked on" but still close enough to feel involved. He was very funny with a combination of quick fire one liners and interviews with member of the audience. His delivery was somewhat similar to Tommy Coopers. Great laughs.

A short break and then our final show of the day, a sketch show written and performed by three up and coming comedians. A very young audience
