North Bridge

Today the Minx and I went up to Edinburgh. Via her characteristic arcane methods, the Minx had arranged for us to travel first class for a very standard price, so we were able to enjoy comfortable seats and Virgin's First Class food and drink (although, to be honest, their coffee is way less than first class). 

Arriving in Edinburgh, with a couple hours to spare before we could check into our Air BnB, we found a great place to eat - Civerinos - even if we did underestimate just how large their portions would be. I'm talking "Would you like me to box that up for you territory", here. (Obvs I said yes.)

In the evening we went out for a drink with our friends Shelagh and Andrea. We had agreed in advance that, with it being midweek, we would have a relatively calm evening, and so we met early at 7pm and paced ourselves sensibly.

And so it was that we left The Barony at quarter past one, several bottles dispatched. But what a glorious evening. I'm not sure there was any point at which we weren't either laughing or close to it. I'm not sure that anything brings happiness the way that good friends do.
