Edinburgh 4.45 start

Blasdale Home Posted on November 13, 2005 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

Off to Edinburgh again, My usual Easyjet flight was fully booked, so took an earlier flight from Birmingham on BMI Baby.

Only problem was I was out of the house at 5.00am, and it looked to be a foggy day.  Luckily the M40 was clear of fog.

All the cars in Birmingham were totally covered with frost.  Edinburgh was positively barmy when I arrived.

Was lazy this evening, ate at the bar in the hotel, some Turbot, Chips and Broccoli.  Sounds odd, the Broccoli was served with almond flakes, olives and a dressing

Banbury

Blasdale Home Posted on November 11, 2005 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

Not been to Banbury for years, since the M40 was built.  Decided to go there for some shopping.  Amazing how they have built a shopping centre and disguised it in all the old buildings in the center.  You could almost walk around it without seeing it.

Didn’t buy much, but did have a Chinese all you can eat buffet.  Actually not too bad, and well priced.

Post box in Banbury.  Old ask Rosemary what is specila about it.

Graduation Day

Blasdale Home Posted on November 11, 2005 by SteveJanuary 13, 2021

After our lovely holiday in the Channel Islands with John and Carol Curd, it was back to work.  First day was in the office, then a one-day trip to Scotland to the Bank.  One day seemed to turn into 4 days.  Had to change the EasyJet flight twice, and stay in two different hotels.

First night was at the Apex City.  No free broadband access, so left them a remark on their comment form.  That night ate with Yura Usvyat, who suggested a pub called the Jolly Judge, just off the Royal Mile for free Internet access.

Wednesday was staying down at the Hollyrood hotel near the parliament.  I hoped that there would be free access there from the Thai Restaurant, but alas there was none.  Ate at the Petit Paris, eating a nice fish dish of Ling.  Since discovered it to be a type of deep-sea cod, which appears on an endangered list, and to be avoided.  Afterwards met up with John Curd and Yura Usvyat who were meeting Malcolm Collett from a company call arum.  https://www.arum.co.uk

John and Yura went off to eat, so I took off to see what was happening at Whistle Binkies.  Turned out to be an excellent night.  Four bands were playing.  Caught the end of the first band, and left when the third had started.  The second band though was excellent, very loud and metal.  A Glasgow band called Graduation Day.  See them at https://myspace.com/graduationday

Thursday, went to the Jolly Judge for a couple of pints and some internet access, then onto the mussel and steak, for some fish and chowder.  https://www.musselandsteakbar.com

Friday back home, quite rough in Edinburgh, one tree on the way to the airport, by the zoo, had been blown over.  Otherwise there were no problems getting back to Luton.

Holiday

Blasdale Home Posted on November 4, 2005 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

Sorry for the lack of postings on here.  After a wonderful week in Guernsey with our own chef Gordon Curd, we are back in England to hear the sounds of fireworks.

Nice week, did plenty of walking and worked out in the Gym with Carol Ramsey.

We walked most days on the island, didn’t get over to Herm, bad weather conditions.  Had plenty of alcohol, used most of my years allowance.
