No, not again!

It’s that ceiling again.
From the sublime to the ridiculous is what runs through my mind as I spend another morning in the Ivy. It unusual for me to be there quite so often but it is a very central and civilised place when meeting people from different corners of the capital and beyond.

The Fringe started today and the city is back to nightmare status with people sauntering hither and thither and traffic backed up on roads which have been narrowed to provide cycle and pedestrian lanes.The Festival starts tomorrow, so things can only get more crowded.

I imagine it’s quite challenging for visitors to find a casual coffee or lunch stop as tables have to be booked online to have certainty of getting bums on seats.

Virtually, I’ve just run the race of my life with Laura Muir who has got a silver medal for the 1500 m. Phew, what a run!
