A few days in Edinburgh

I went to visit Ag, Colin and Grace in Edinbugh 17th - 20th August :-). I waited for a bit in town on Monday and Ag collected me after work. I was just in time to say 'Goodnight' to Grace, and we had gluten-free pasta with a creamy courgette sauce for dinner.

On Tuesday, Ag, Grace and I went to drop off Ag's car at the garage and then to visit the Festival, including the BBC pink tent and the Udderbelly - here it is: :-)

We resisted going to see Julia Donaldson, as Grace needed her nap, so we headed home on the bus. We went for a walk in the afternoon, and I even looked after Grace on my own for 10 minutes. Colin came home, we had fish and rice for dinner, watched TV and went to bed.

On Wednesday, Colin and I stayed with Grace in the morning and went to the park. Then Colin went to work, Ag came home at lunch time, and we went to the library. Agata and I went out in the evening and saw Milton Jones ('and the Temple of Daft'), who told us about his daring adventures trying to find a treasure, the map to which he'd found in Amber's handbag. Unfortunately, the map turned out to be part of Amber's daughter's homework, but Milton and Amber took part in a number of teacher and education themed adventures in the meantime, including Teachers' Paradise, where there are only teachers and staff (no pupils), including a dinner lady made of... dinner. Ag and I had Pizza Express pizza after.

On Thursday morning, Ag, Grace and I went into the city centre, where we met some of Ag's mummy friends with their toddlers in a festival play area. I went straight to the train station from there and was home in the evening :-).
