Caught the early morning flight from Birmingham to Edinburgh on Tuesday.  Nice and early so missed all the dog owners going to the Crufts show at the NEC.  Lunchtime met up with Mary and Ed for lunch.  Pretty miserable damp day in Edinburgh, but lovely warm welcome at the Petit Paris where I indulged in a full three-course meal of

• Lentil and Saucisse salad
• Steak with a pepper sauce
• Crepe au Citron.
• Coffee
   

All washed down with a pitchet of Vin Rouge.

I was staying at the Apex International for the two nights, so made sure I got both of my free bath ducks each day.  They said welcome back.  I admit I have not been there for a while; the free Internet access at the Radisson is so welcome.

Thursday was a better day, weather wise at least.   During the evening I went to Whistle Binkies and ate at the Apex.  Not so indulgent, to offset last nights extravagance, but I really must stop eating Nachos .  Every time I eat Nachos I say never again.  I hate Nachos!!!!!

Thursday finished off at the back, having completed the evaluation.  Hopefully they will write a good report.  I ate lunch with Ed at the Café Royal, then back to Birmingham airport.
