Monday I'm in Edinburgh

18 July 2005

Part of doing what I do for a living now means travelling, which is a fairly new thing for me.

Today I'm in Edinburgh, to spend a day working with a client, and so I didn't need to get up at the crack of birdsqueak, I flew up last night from London City Airport with the almost comically tartan Scot Airways.

It was a bit of a comedy of travel disasters, but at long last, I fell through the door of my hotel room (which is accidentally more posh than we would usually stay in due to the huge numbers of tourists in Edinburgh at this time of year having taken all the cheap rooms).

I'm about to run out of time on my hugely expensive broadband connection (£4 per hour!), but some photos of the hotel room and my latest knitting project can be found on my flickr photostream.

I just have to show you my breakfast tray though.

Le Petit Dejeuner

I'm not usually a breakfast person, but I was tempted. I didn't know it was going to be this huge though.

Yes, that is tea and lemon.

No, I don't know what I was thinking either.

Still tastes like stewed grass.

Ugh.

Didn't BBC2 have a Friday night comedy show about Scot Airways?

Here, they serve steamed sweet potatos at breakfast. Sweet potatos do not look pretty steamed. They also serve turnip and fishballs.

Wot, no kippers?

Karen, I have steamed sweet potatoes about every day. :-)

Must have been painful for you. Next time, OPEN the door, rather than fall through it.
