Revisiting

We spent a very pleasant day with L, largely revisiting old haunts. After scrambled eggs for lunch, we headed out for a wander around Leith, ending up at a cafe on Constitution Street for an outdoor coffee [my third of the day....maybe not such a good idea....see later....]

Home via Quality Yard, where there was a lot of new stuff compared to our visit last weekend with P and H, thus supplying my blip.

Soon enough, we walked down to The Shore again, for a very late lunch at The Ship on the Shore, with L and I sharing an excellent seafood platter, and finishing our lunch with an espresso martini (see what I did there? another coffee...) and a twix cheesecake to share. After that, it was back up to The Arches on Leith Walk to go to 1902, for a second time in Mr A's case. A pretty effective piece of theatre, although it is certainly very shouty....

Our final stop of the day was back down at The Vaults, which L had not previously visited, for some cheese and a dram. See what I did again? Cheese in the evening, on top of four coffees.

The results were predictable for me. While both L and Mr A seemed to get to sleep very swiftly, I sat around reading my book (The Glass Hotel) to a conclusion, and then after I went to bed really struggled both to sleep and to stay asleep for more than a nanosecond at a time. Part of the reason, along with a surfeit of caffeine and a bit of cheese was, however, getting up very early. More on that anon.

But it was a lovely day, made even nicer by being extremely pleasant weather (especially when the sun shone, which it did most of the time).
