Some interesting skies this morning over Edinburgh...



...and a rabbit spotted in Princes St Gardens - I have a soft spot for rabbits...



Apt that it should be such a fine day for, exactly 30 years ago, the Exec Producer and your correspondent first became "an item"...

It was at a party in my flat in St Mary's Street (where, 11 years later, we opened our first record shop together) following a gig by my then band, Capital Models, at the nearby Netherbow Theatre on the Royal Mile...

To celebrate, we had drinks at the rooftop bar of Oloroso and then at nearby Tonic, before heading to a fine little Italian restaurant, Librizzi, on the corner of Castle St and Queen St where we enjoyed a very fine meal accompanied by some tasty Italian red wine...



A very enjoyable evening...

Don't know where the years went though, seems like yesterday...

Oh well, onwards and upwards...

Highlight of the Day : Celebrating in style
