Horrible wet day.  Rained all day.  In the evening, started off a quite evening.  30 minutes on the exercise machines burning off the waist line, followed by a swim and then the hotel restaurant.

Had some scallops on a risotto base, with a plate of brussel sprouts.  During the meal, by down fall occur ed.  Ed phoned.  We met up in the Half Way House, on the setps between Waverly Station and Cockburn street. We actually met outside in the torrential rain.  After a few pints there we moved on to Whistle Binkies for some music and beer.
