"I realise that most of my blog posts reference food that I've eaten, people I've met, items of clothing I've clocked and things that I've done, so I thought that seeing as though this was our last show I would go down a more emotional route. First things first: I will miss Rob's warm up act. Today he wowed (Ed: is this *really* the best choice of words, Catriona??) audiences with eye-patch and parrot in a pirate-themed routine. The nautical references are inexplicable and his performance won him a punnet of razzies. After a brilliant show that saw Felicity Ward talk about being a moron (I can sympathise), Richard Herring talk of his struggle with the Messiah (I can only imagine), Rainer Hersch talk like Victor Borge (I must research who that is) and Denise Black strut amongst the audience for the grand finale song, we left the green room for the last time with fond memories of guests and stresses past, which brings me to my final emotional thought for the day - Fiona and Melanie part from the Festival Café team this afternoon. I promised I wouldn't mention food again, but we celebrated their successful four weeks with sparkly cupcakes courtesy of Rich and made of fairydust (edible glitter actually), appropriate munchies for a nostalgic moment on the office sofas. Emma and I will be kicking off our final week here in Edinburgh with a live show from the Book Festival in Charlotte Square...an exciting prospect. We will be downsizing dramatically in venue size, but I can't wait for the buzz of an entirely different festival experience and hopefully some sunshine. And muffins. Maybe."
