New Year
Just about to head out into the gale - the wind is rattling the streetlights and lifting the dustbin lids. So,
Happy Hogmanay to you all.
Or happy Eid. :)
One final rec for the year.
I spent the afternoon, after a bracing walk up the Water of Leith, in the Cumberland Bar on Cumberland Street. If you are ever in Edinburgh, you MUST visit the ladies toilets, which are mid Victorian, with mahogany fittings and tiled in that dusky shade of pink - ash rose? - which really should be accompanied by the sound of the hurdy-gurdy, hansom cabs and repressed passion behind the aspidistra and the tatted macassar throws. Beautiful! Also, good tomato juice with all bits but no vodka and excellent coffee.
