time to kill

I was meeting my brother in Edinburgh at 5 for drinks & dinner (beer & curry, to be honest) and my train got me in 30 minutes early.

Cue coffee & a Scooby snack. Well, pints on an empty tummy can't be good.

It's also a good spot for people watching.

Drinks were good - Cafe Royal. Not much changed since I first lurched in aged 16 18.

A nice Nepalese dinner, only slightly spoiled by a table of drunks who thought swearing every 2nd word is clever. Felt bad for the restaurant staff. They had to move a couple of tables who'd complained.

No knowledge of Nepalese culture but most in that part of the world would find it pretty repulsive. As I did.
