Edinburgh and two years of iBuy

Blasdale Home Posted on June 30, 2006 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

29th June 2006

Very busy day in Edinburgh, worked until almost 7.00, back to the hotel and supper in the bar. Had chicken roulade, chips and grilled salmon with a veggie curry, washed down with a couple of pints of Starpramen.  The cute Scottish bar maid was on duty, so we exchanged a few words  Back in my room, which overlooks Whistle Binkies, a band started to play, so was very tempted to go out, but decided on a good nights sleep instead.

30th June 2006

Today was a wet, wet day, woke to the rain, and still drizzling when we went out for lunch.  The lunch was to celebrate the second year of the iBuy project.  We walked in the rain to a Thai restaurant called Thai One.  Seemed quite a smart establishment with all the waitresses bowing as you entered.  Ate a substantial meal of Thai fishcakes, followed with a Sirloin Steak Salad, then grilled Salmon and Ice-Cream to finish.  All good practise for next week when I will be back eating at the Thai bar Mai Thai. 

Flight back, uneventful, as soon as we were south of Manchester the wearther cleared up.

The installation of iBuy was complete on Sunday 27th June 2004.  Just over 2 years ago.

Edinburgh is the sun

Blasdale Home Posted on June 28, 2006 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

26th June.

Up early again and off to Edinburgh. Today there were no delays on the flights, and I was in work by 9.00pm.

After work, I stayed in the hotel for an early night and supper.

27th June

Today the weather was sunny weather, though not hot. Decided to eat out for todays meal, so tried a Vegetarian Restaurant near the hotel called Black Boa I saw it advertised in the Bigg Issue magazine. Will compensate with a steak tomorrow. Actually the meal was very good. Started with an unusual salad of mango, avocado and lettuce. Followed with a goats cheese roulade.

28th June

Kept my steak promise, went to McKirdys for a steak and chips., then I had a wander through Edinburgh looking for somewhere to eat on Thursday. May try the new Petite Paris to see what that is like. Met up with Ed for a couple of pints at Pivot. Again a sunny day, but not hot.

Wotton Underwood Open Day

Blasdale Home Posted on June 25, 2006 by SteveDecember 27, 2017

Today we went to the Wotton Underwood  open day.  Did not visit the house, we had seen that two years ago.  Instead we rode on the 15 inch railway, taking a ride on on the Steam Powered Train. The track takes you a mile or so through the countryside.

After the ride, we went for a long walk around the lake.  We saw masses of  dragon flies, and fish jumping out catching the low flying dragon flies.  The estate is doing a massive amount of tree planting.  It is very beautiful, quiet and restful around there.
