Glamour-free

Had a productive morning. Took eggs into town to my ex-colleagues at Amazon; got shown round Edinburgh castle (never been there before); got shown round the conference facilities at Pollock (have been there before); took lawn mower for repair to Sighthill.

Lunch time was al fresco at the Gyle with an interesting wasabi potato salad (not just any wasabi potato salad ....). It was baking. Reminded me a bit of continental hyper market car parks on a hot day. Not a lot. Just a bit.

Then to the airport and onto a sleazyjet to Schiphol, followed by a fast train to Rotterdam and a traipse through the streets looking for the hotel. Finally found it and it's not nice. Noisy, down at heel, grim. Not at all like the last hotel room that I had in Rotterdam. Oh well.
