Pablo, Cover Your Ears.
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh has unveiled a Picasso etching, Weeping Woman. I love the work of Picasso, especially his drawings and etchings, so this is a must-see.
Meanwhile, in Inverness, the cultural highlight of the century takes place at the end of this month when the Inverness Fiddlers have a festival. I can hardly wait. The sweet sound of screaming fiddles competing with the wail of buskers bagpipes promises a musical feast comparable with the antics of two tomcats fighting for the favours of the local pussycat with the long eyelashes and tantalising tail.
Although I live some fifty miles west of the offending noise, this would be the day to visit the Weeping Woman in Edinburgh, just in case the wind is from the east and I can hear the "Inverness Culture" from here.

I'm fairly amused by bagpipes, but really only when there's a volume knob involved. A few years ago, I went to a Celtic Festival here in Cincinnati (it just all gets lumped into one festival) and there was a marching bagpipe band who were nice enough to tune their instruments on location for an hour beforehand. Ten bagpipes, OUT OF TUNE, droning and braying in the hot summer sun. God, I had nightmares for a week.
