Out with chums for some food at a Sudanese Restaurant (Nile Valley) which was a first for us! Then off to the George Square Theatre to see Loud and Proud Choir doing some crimbo numbers.
Festival at last
Other than an outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’ a couple of weeks back, my festival going has been a bit non existant this year… So today it was off to the Foodie Festival for some fine food – and meeting up with Nicci Kitchin before seeing brother…
Amazing Souffle
Great meal out last night with chums at Hotel du Vin. Some really different stuff on the menu and 5 of us all enjoyed it! Here’s Lorraine Souffle. (sorry for chopping your head off Lorraine!)
Gunshots ring out across Edinburgh
Well in the Edinburgh Festival Theatre as we watched Blood Brothers anyway… Didn’t have a clue what to expect – had heard of it but somehow avoided knowing the story until last night. Was tired after a long week at work and then a decent meal at B’est but the…
Yum
Struggling to find somewhere to pop in for a warming cup of hot chocolate and a snack lunch that wasn’t full of bored/irate/suicidal shopper on Saturday mid-afternoon we headed down Broughton Street. Ended up in a wee place called Pani Solinska that is a Polish (can’t you guess?) restaurant. Freshly…
I'm turning Australian
Not really, but after 3 Barbecues in 3 days maybe I should. Friday night it was 2 or 3 chums for lots of home made stuff from masterchef Lorraine, including meat and veggie burgers, salsa, hummous, salad, and chutney. Then Satuday is was off to Craigs for a few hours…
Paris
Just back from a fantastic, if at some stages frantic, weekend in Paris. As if you weren’t aware dear reader, that I have been doing the website for Mark Beaumont and his attempt to smash the World Record for cycling round the world. So off to Paris Lorraine and I…
Happy Birthday Mum
Just a quick post to say happy birthday mum. That’s why we all went to the Flamenco and then on to The New Bell for food afterwards. Yum.
Rhod Gilbert
Works night out last night to Rhod Gilbert’s 1984 at the Pleasance Courtyard Cellar. Unknown to all of us, but he performed a relaxed and funny show in front of a capacity crowd in the cellar (about 80 folk….) Definitely recommend him for a harmless, sometimes rambling story of why…
More Festival Stuff
Great food in a place called Blonde followed by a most amusing show called NewsRevue 24/7. Basically a mix of topical news related comedy sketches and musical numbers performed at a frenetic pace. Was most amusing if a bit close to the bone sometimes. See if you can make up…
