Chilbir

Back home mid-morning from the overnighter at work and straight out to the flicks for a Sunday morning screening of Casino - part of The Cameo's Scorsese season.

After three hours of that it was time for a spot of lunch in a nearby cafe - Turkish poached eggs with yoghurt, spinach and chilli butter at Comb did the trick. I may well be back. In fact it used to be the favourite cafe of my eldest girl who now lives in Glasgow, and when I sent her this very pic with a "guess where me and mum are?" message attached she replied straight away, quite aghast that we'd even dare to think of going without her. So I did kind of agree to take her next time she's home. And then I said I'd pay for the new translation of The Iliad that she was trying to track down somewhere in Glasgow at the same time as well...jeezo, those eggs kind of ended up costing me a bloody fortune!
