Out with chums for some food at a Sudanese Restaurant (Nile Valley) which was a first for us! Then off to the George Square Theatre to see Loud and Proud Choir doing some crimbo numbers.

Other than an outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’ a couple of weeks back, my festival going has been a bit non existant this year…

So today it was off to the Foodie Festival for some fine food – and meeting up with Nicci Kitchin before seeing brother Tom doing a cooking demo. Then off to see Pippa Evans followed by John Bishop at the Pleasance.

Then to top it all it was a fine bag if chip on the way home from the bus stop

Great meal out last night with chums at Hotel du Vin. Some really different stuff on the menu and 5 of us all enjoyed it!

Here’s Lorraine Souffle.

(sorry for chopping your head off Lorraine!)

Well in the Edinburgh Festival Theatre as we watched Blood Brothers anyway…

Didn’t have a clue what to expect – had heard of it but somehow avoided knowing the story until last night. Was tired after a long week at work and then a decent meal at B’est but the action kept us awake – including live gunshots!

That was our valentines treat to ourselves so going to catch up on some Lost this evening.

Looking forward to a few nights away this week – for birthday and business reasons

Struggling to find somewhere to pop in for a warming cup of hot chocolate and a snack lunch that wasn’t full of bored/irate/suicidal shopper on Saturday mid-afternoon we headed down Broughton Street.

Ended up in a wee place called Pani Solinska that is a Polish (can’t you guess?) restaurant. Freshly prepared food and friendly service topped us up just as energies were flagging.

Worth dropping in if you are in need of a bit of grub – or even a Polish beer!

Not really, but after 3 Barbecues in 3 days maybe I should.

Friday night it was 2 or 3 chums for lots of home made stuff from masterchef Lorraine, including meat and veggie burgers, salsa, hummous, salad, and chutney.

Then Satuday is was off to Craigs for a few hours before before running away to babysitting duties. Some great meat products there courtesy of Angus and expertly cooked by the birthday boy himself.

The Sunday we had some veggie burgers and some burgers that got defrosted on Friday but not cooked to use up so out with the Barbie again!

Veg for the rest of the week methinks as I’ve had my fill of meat!
