I wonder if Meg the Black Cat spent the night here?


Out into the morning - not taken this for a while...



In the evening, met up with Anne and chum Theresa at Gordon's Tratoria on the Royal Mile for a bowl of tasty pasta and some excellent chat, before walking up to the Festival Theatre...


...for an evening of entertainment...


...in what used to be the Empire Theatre...


The ladies, ready for some balletic action...


We were here to enjoy three pieces first made famous at Saddler's Wells in London...

"Afterlight", a solo piece featuring the music of Erik Satie...



"Faun", a duet to the music of Claude Debussy interspersed with pieces by Nitin Sawhney...



And, finally, a ten dancer ensemble piece, "Undance", to the music of Mark-Anthony Turnage...



All amazing top stuff...

Our favourite probably the first piece...


Out into the cold and a walk down to Princes St for the bus home...



..where a goodly number of CDs await integration...


...and where some Mozart was listened to re a possible return to the theatre for some operatic entertainment next month...


Highlight of the day : Brilliant dancing...
