No Show

We were threatened with/promised a humdinger of a storm last night. But, apart from a distant rumble of thunder around bed-time, it didn't happen. 

We were in Edinburgh overnight. Morning was misty, and I have run out of excuses, so had to clean the flat (a bit). 

Later we drove down to Portobello, and I spotted a new Greek pastry shop just beside the car park. We went in to buy the makings of a light lunch. I'll draw a veil over what happened next, but I ended up with very, very sticky fingers and had to go to the Beach House for a second coffee and a very thorough hand wash.

The sun never did appear properly, but neither did the rain, and though it wasn't hot like yesterday, it still counted as a pretty good day for the seaside in Scotland, and there were plenty of folks around making the most of it.  

We're home now, and the storm has been postponed till tomorrow. We'll see.
