Flew to Edinburgh Friday afternoon for a Christmas meal with RBS.  On arrival booked into my flea pit hotel, and then having a few minutes to spare, popped into Whistle Binkies for a quick pint.  The intention was to check out what bands were playing for later in the evening.

Then it was on to the Opal Lounge where I met the RBS and other Cedar employees who contributed to the project.   There was a good meal where I ate Sushi, followed by Monk Fish on a bed of rice with a lime sauce.  I can’t remember what I had for the third course.  Next we seemed to consume more alcohol, and I do remember dancing with Mary at some stage.  The group who attended were Andy, Campbell, Douglas, Kevin, Mary, Neil, Simon, Ed, Danielle and Brian.  From the whole group, Ed , Mary and I were the last to leave.

Next day treated my self to a greasy breakfast, then went around the Royal and Scottish museum.  Saw the model coffins mentioned in the Rebus books.  Then it was on to the Scottish parliament, where I visited the debating chamber.  It is quite a building, not sure how well the outside will wear because of all the bits of wood decoration attached.

Later I had a meal at the Petit Paris.  As I walked by the waiter came out and welcomed me in, asking if I was back for more work, I had their plat de jour of Boeuf Bourguignon.  Then it was on for the late flight back.
