I WAS sick after dinner last night and feared the worst – but it wasn’t my usual continual vomiting and I was only sick once then went to sleep. Feel fine this morning.

Just as well as we’re off early doors to pick up Steven and go to the Whisky Stramash in Edinburgh courtesy of a couple of spare tickets form Will and Greig who couldn’t go.

The plan is for Margaret to drop us in Stirling to get the train but when we get there we find all trains are off due to a strike. Margaret can’t take us to Edinburgh as she’s taking the kids swimming…luckily Fiona’s going to see her dad in Edinburgh and leaves early so she can pick us up and deliver us to Surgeon’s Hall. Originally she was going to go later and bring us home.

We have a grand four hours tasting lots of different whiskies and mange to come out the other end without too much drunkenness. We stop for a quick pint on our way for the bus down to Fiona’s dad’s place in Leith, have a coffee and a blether then Fiona drives us home.

Margaret’s got dinner ready. We eat, clear up and have an early night 🙂
