Pizza for dinner

Jayne, George & I went to Solo Pizza for dinner.

Food was very good, service excellent, however the place lacked something - can't really put our finger on it. Probably would go back. £40 for three

Edinburgh festival week

Drove up on Saturday and stayed near Roslin chapel, about 1/2 hour south of the centre. Saw lots of shows, the best being Paul Zerdin - a ventriloquist. One of the funniest things I've seen.

Sun 16/8 - Wandered around the High St area - very busy. Milkshakes in Wannaburger went down a treat. Blue Bar restaurant for dinner, Cambridge St. 6 people (£113). I am writing this about a month later and I can't remember the restaurant, so it can't have been that good!
Tue 18/8 - Gourmet Burger Kitchen for dinner. Good food and very reasonable - £82 for 5
Wed 19/8 - Tattoo. It poured, luckliy Jayne & I were under cover; the others weren't so lucky.
Thu 20/8 - Mussel & Steak bar restaurant. Starters of seafood were excellent. Steaks were tough. Long tim to get the bill. Webcam in kitchen was good - we could see our dinner being cooked.
Fri 21/8 - Last meal, all of us together - Filling Station restaurant on High St. A typical american style restaurant.
Sat 22/8 - Drove back, George stayed on for even more shows - total of more than 20.

Morrisons here

The Morrisons were here for the night. Went to Bathwick Boatman for dinner. Nice food but felt place needed more marketing - it wasn't very busy.

Cinema

Jayne & I went to the cinema in the evening - Orange Wednesdays 2 for 1.

Saw Pelham 123 - film about a tube train hijack with John Travolta. Great action fun - Jayne wasn't as enthused
