festive fare

Um, not really. Lunch in a Middle Eastern cafe in Edinburgh.

A couple of wee meze as main course, followed by baklava with rose ice cream.

I was passing time between the end of a meeting and picking up a birthday present for my son. 21 at the end of the month. Gee...

I enjoyed sitting in Laila's watching the world go by - mostly shoppers who looked like they'd lost the will to live (well, the men anyway).

The food was delicious and as it is very close to Waverley Station (top of the Scotsman steps) I suspect they've not seen the last of me.
