A week in Edinburgh
Back home after another week in Edinburgh. Been quite a hard week, working long hours system testing the new release.
Stayed on the Grassmarket in the Apex International, so ate in the Grassmarket resturants. Ate twice at the Petit Paris, always missing the happy hour meals. Both times I ate outside on the pavement, watching the world pass by. On the final night ate a very nice Sea Bream at the Mussel and Steak, followed by a very melt in the mouth chocolate tort.
Travel back, was fraught. I managed to catch the plane at Edinburgh, but BMI Babyhas got to get its check in faster. The queues was long, and slow moving. Edinburgh has also got to sort its security out. They don’t manage their queues at all there. All the other airports I have flown from always actively manage the queues, bringing passengers forward where their flights are about to leave. Several passengers had their baggage unloaded from the Birmingham flight because they were British and queued for security, while I just walked past the queue to the head.
Ann and Mike are staying this week end and we are off to Bicester Village.
