Last day at work and i was allowed out to play in Edinburgh. Ok it was a very depressing meeting about welfare reform; if you thought it was bad now you ain't seen nothing yet. Pah! You can tell the UK is run by multimillions who sleep comfortably at night.

Away from politics it gave me a chance to wander round the town which was full of tourists & late night shoppers.

Now back in Glasgow it's time for a wee drink to settle into my holiday. Oh yes! 11 days of sheer relaxation to follow.
