Sorry about the dearth of news -- Posted by prossers on Sunday, February 29 2004

Sorry about the dearth of news.  I have been travelling to Edinburgh each week, so there has not been a great deal to say.  This coming week I have the first two days in the office, so I am feeling quite relaxed as I write this on Sunday evening.

The last couple of weeks have been quite cold, with Northerly and Easterly winds blowing.  Apparently there has been quite a bit of snow around.  As usual none has fallen at home, or in Edinburgh.  So there have been no delays on the flights.

The ants at home appear to think Spring has arrived, never seen them invade the house so early in the year.  At least they are busily eating the Nippon.

Edinburgh and Rosemary -- Posted by prossers on Thursday, February 5 2004

Nice week in Edinburgh.  Rosemary flew up on Monday and back on Friday for £31 with Flybe. 
She took quite a few tours in the old town, Ghost tour, the Castle (I have still to hear the one o'clock gun), the Royal Mile where she visited the law courts.  She visited the street under the law buildings where Iain Rankin set a scene from one of his Rebus books.  On the Rebus visits we went to the Oxford Bar for a drink.

We met up each evening for supper, once with some colleagues from work, twice at the Petit Paris, and once for Haggis, Tatties and Neaps in a local pub.  Unfortunately the weather was poor.  First time in Edinburgh I have had rain fall while I was out on the street.  So bad one day we had to move hotel rooms because of a leaking roof.
