Twins

Today marked our 29th wedding anniversary and it was a lovely surprise to come downstairs to find a lovely bunch of mixed roses from Mr PHL. He must have hidden in the garage yesterday and put them out after I’d gone to bed.

Cooked up sausages for breakfast before M&A took Miss PHL into town for her shift in the bar before heading home to Dundee.

After breakfast was changing beds and re cleaning bathrooms before running the Hoover over the floors. Mr PHL dropped Phin at his doggy daycare at 10 as we’ll be out for a long time later on.

My brother in law, sister in law and 2 nephews arrived just after 2 and were excited to be heading to the tattoo this evening. Laughed a lot to see the brothers both wearing very similar shirts. Mr PHL changed before we headed off.

We caught the bus into town and had a wander through George square with a pit stop for a drink before heading to the Rendezvous (I think the oldest Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh). Miss PHL joined us for dinner and one of the fabulous waiting staff took the picture in the extra.

Ate far too much and probably had 1 glass too many of Prosecco but it was a great meal. We walked the Glasgow branch of the family to the bottom of Johnston terrace so they could walk up to the castle and Mr PHL and I headed back to George square to meet with Miss PHL again who had gone back to her flat to drop off her laptop. We saw a play ‘Bampots’, a mix of song, short speaking sections and frantic dancing wonderfully acted by 4 young actors, one of whom is a very good friend of Miss PHL. It was very good and a fun way to spend an hour. We met up with the Glasgow crew and headed to the bus stop. It was very busy and we were lucky to get on as there were already people standing. I spotted a few seats at the back and asked people to move up into them but they wouldn’t so we managed to get past them. However 4 seats remained empty the whole journey thereby preventing the driver taking on more passengers due to the standing folk. It has just cemented Mr PHL’s dislike of public transport again!

It was another late night as I didn’t get to bed till after 1.
