From this morning, I am officially specticalised on a full-time basis...

I have another pair but the cleaning fluid the young lady used to remove the initial stickers re the whereabouts of the varifocal scenario, disintegrated the frames...

"My bad" she said...

I suggested she was not a cat on the internet and just a "sorry" might have been more suitable...

Home and orders fulfilled and lunch partaken of at a place in Corstorphne which seemed a haven for pensioners...

It was, however, deemed, "tasty"...

Back home and packed and off...

...to the airport...

...for coffee and cakes...

...and to await our flight to Bremen,,,

Why do people queue at the gate for a flight on which seats are allocated?

...out on time to the tarmac past this new Edinburgh landmark...

It seems I always land a seat over the wing...

...and that I always do like to take pics out the window...

Adios to the Firth of Forth...

Some prog rock in the cans (the playlists being posted here in our absence) and some suitable reading...

The beast was about its business at 30,000 feet...

Where're yer specs?

We were soon descending after a 90 minute journey...

The landing was deemed unhairy...

The sun was setting as we arrived...

A tram was our mode of transport into the city, taking a mere 10 minutes or so...

This, the view from the "haltestelle"...

We alighted at Theater am Leibnitzplatz...

...and trundled...

...to Yorckstrasse...

...and our apartment for the next few days...

The bar over the road had a resident friendly wee monkey...

...and Beck's Haake brand, only sold in this locality...

..and much enjoyed by your bespectacled correspondent...

...while our wee chum looked for attention...

...before heading off over the roofs...

..and utilising this man made assister to enter an apartment above us...

Home for some jazz...

...and more drinks on the balcony...

...by candlelight...

...before heading back inside...

A good start to the holiday...

Highlight of the Day : Arriving in Bremen...
