in from the cold

Endured this for as long as possible (about 10 mins) and had to retreat indoors for wine/tea/coffee (Ooo, guess what I plumped for?).

My critisism of the event to a more stoical/hardy chum was met with "Can't you remeber what it's like to be a child?" (Jeez, thankfully the suspension of santa from a crane and bungee jumping fairies wasn't about when I was a bairn).

So....it would appear that the whole city had converged on Leith tonight ("it's sooo up-and-coming, you know) so plans skuppered again. But managed to find somewhere for some trad food....oh, dear ...and then a few nightcaps....
