This evening, out with fellow decade-working-for-the-same-The-Man, Margaret, young Kris-with-a-K and ex-colleague and BBQ thrower extraordinaire, Lorna...

And why not...

First stop The Hudson Hotel – to the bar there and three pints of lovely Loewenbrau Pilsner for your correspondent with a nice bottle of white for the ladies and some Stella and Jack Daniels for the K Man (not in the same glass)...

Suffice to say, I was feeling a little squiffy by the time we left and headed for the “new” Indian Cavalry Club just along the road towards Haymarket station – very possibly the most expensive Indian restaurant in the city...



The food though, was superb. The big fat CBQ partook of some minced lamb pakora followed by a minced lamb karahi (a bit of a theme there) while his companions had things which they enjoyed too – and two more bottles of wine...

After some lengthy post-eat chat, we struggled along to Thomson’s Bar on Morrison St where Lorna was introduced to the wonder that is Gin & Tonic...

Finally slumped into a seat on the bus home around 11:30, six hours on from the meet...

Anne advised she’d had some cheese on toast for her tea...

Reparations are due...
