Good day in Edinburgh, production system configured at client. One new error found while testing. Should have that sorted on Monday, and delivered. Ended up with time to spare, so have bought a coffee and a chocolate muffin from Cafe … Continue reading →

No walking at Luton airport

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Steve

I feel a complaint coming on. I am on my way to Edinburgh from  Luton. Because of the totally crappy bus service from the mid term car park I choose to walk. Now it is an obstacle course with fences … Continue reading →

Holy Mackerel

Thursday night decided it was an eating night.  Thought I would have a Thai meal, so walked over to Thistle Street to try Dusit.  Dusit is probably the best Thai Restaurant in Edinburgh.  It is small and looked rather full … Continue reading →

Wednesday was slumming it night.  Haggis, neaps and tatties in the Last Drop, named after the gallows on Grassmarket. Then on to Whistle Binkies for some musical entertainment. Thursday, another nice but cold day. Stay in evening today.  Spent the … Continue reading →

Second week in Edinburgh Monday

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Steve

Arrived in plenty of time, queues minimal in Luton, more staff on security, though lots of rug rats running around.  Must be half term or something.  Glad I am not flying to Faro, Easyjet don’t seem to have anyone to … Continue reading →

Thai food yet again

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Steve

Thursday was a warm day, no rain, not particularly sunny though. Started off with my usual cup of coffee at Cafe Nero, and happiness they had Pain Au Raisins today. The last two days have been devoid of this delicacy. … Continue reading →

Another early start

Posted on June 2, 2008 by Steve

Another early start for the flight up to Edinburgh. Not sure how long EasyJet will keep the 6.55 flight going. It cannot have been more than one third full. As I left home it was a pleasant morning with roosting … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2008 by Steve

Made it to Edinburgh this week, staying in a hotel on Lauriston Place, a Best Western hotel. The hotel includes breakfast and is slightly cheaper than most I stay in. You can see it’s cheaper because there were tradesmen staying … Continue reading →
