Here's a very quick rundown of all that we have done so far.
Thursday
On Thursday we did Monster Mash, then did some quality marching around.
Friday
Friday brought Irn Bru, St Giles cathedral, the castle, fish and chips eaten standing in the street, a pint in the Jolly Judge, Lost In Translation (which I didn't get, but think I might watch again on DVD), one quick pint in the Conan Doyle, more beer at The Hallion with dwlt & Stella, rounded off with one last beer in Montpeliers with Allan and Fiona.Saturday
On Saturday we only managed lunch at Cafe Rouge, before heading home for food made by my own fair hands (with some help from my friends!). We had Scottish smoked salmon to start, then haggis, neaps and tatties, which set us up for plenty of dancing at the Caley ceilidh.Sunday
Yesterday we did breakfast at Cue Bar (not so great...), before double-checking that the Scott Monument was closed, as was Holyrood Palace. We took a walk round by the new parliament building, before heading home. After some food, we popped out to Oloroso for a last weekend beer with the boys.Monday
Today I've been back at work, but Lindsay headed to Stirling to see the castle there. Tonight we dined on fish and chips (Lindsay's request :-) and watched Bruce Almighty.
Tomorrow is Lindsay's last real day here. I think she is planning to take in the zoo, do some shopping and I'm going to encourage her to revisit the Scott Monument.
Now you know why my blogging has been so light for the past few days!

What Martin has forgotten to mention is the lovely choral performance by the Kevock Choir at St. Giles Sunday night. Yes, I braved the bus system and went by myself while Martin rested his poor foot. Today, it was the Scott monument, the Zoo, shopping and SNOW on Princes street. My feet hurt...
And on that last post, I forgot how to spell my own name. Yay me!
No pub quiz?
We managed a pub quiz tonight, at the Baillie in Stockbridge. Our score put us *just* outside the top five, which was pretty good, seeing as there were some serious teams competing.
The early start on the planning of this dinner made all the difference! pity you did not have some nice 'breadkneads' brown bread to go with the smoked salmon. Enjoy
