big city, bright lights

....a trip through to Edinburgh to meet up with long-lost family

......a lovely (free) lunch at the Harvey Nicks Restaurant

........a little gift from Louis V (well, an agenda refill)

..........late drinks at a friends house

............and just-post-midnight early opening of my birthday presents

..........all-in-all, a rather nice day out,

and now I'm off to bed as I have been reliably informed that I will be snowboarding in the Highlands in a few hours.
