Restaurant Barioja while working for RBS
Wednesday, what a day, heavy flooding showers, thunder and lightning. Yet another landslide in Scotland blocking another road. This type of weather is predicted more and more with global warming.
Didn’t go out for lunch, worked quite late with a new piece of work, which has been passed to me to complete. For supper I went to a Spanish Tapas bar called Barioja on Jeffrey Street. Last time I was here I over ordered on the food and had only 30 minutes to eat. This time I was more circumspect and had plenty of time to eat. Usual plate of olives, nice piece of chicken in some sauce I cannot remember, a lovely baked tomato with anchovies and a salad or artichoke hearts, olives and peppers, couple of glasses of wine and a beer.
I thanked the table next to mine, for buying me my meal. The guy had been speaking loudly about how the bank, (who he works for) should extend into America and Europe.
Afterwards met up with Ed for a couple of pints at Mathers in Broughton Street. Definitely a football orientated pub with several matches playing at the same time. Beer priced reasonably.
I hear I might be back in Edinburgh for a few days next week.
