Once my seminar had finished on Friday, I headed home and packed my bag then got the train to Edinburgh. I met Sue at this little place just off the Royal Mile called Chocolate Soup. To say that this place was amazing just doesn't give it enough credit!! How I wish there was a place like that in Glasgow!!! It was really nice to see Sue. I thought I hadn't seen her since schoolk but actually (and Christine, yes Christine, reminded me of this today) that I bumped into her when I went back to visit school when Christine was down visiting me! But still, that was a little while ago so it was really nice to catch up. She seems to be enjoying Edinburgh a lot so that is awesome.
Then I went to meet Mum and Meg outside Jenners. We wandered around for a while and then went to eat at this restaurant. It was terrible. I can usually find something that suits me, even though I am a really fussy eater, but there was NOTHING on the menu that I liked. So that meal definitely wasn't a success! We then walked to our hotel which was clearly the furthest away hotel that Mum could have picked. We had a little bit of time before we were going to the theatre so we just relaxed for a while.
We got a taxi to the Playhouse (which clearly we didn't need). We went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was good, and it did amuse me that Rab C. Nesbitt and Shirley from River City were both in it!! It was pretty spectacular and I enjoyed it so much. I think I have become a Broadway snob though because the last thing that I went to see was the Lion King on Broadway and that was just so amazing that I don't think that anything will ever live up to that!
On Saturday we caught the bus to Ocean Terminal and while Mum and Meg looked round the Britannia I did some shopping. When they eventually caught up with me, we had some lunch and then went back to the city centre. We looked round Marks and Spencers then, of course, I took them both to Chocolate Soup!!! lol
Finally we had a look round the German Market, which was pretty difficult to do because it was just sooooo busy!! Then it was time to go home. Mum was heading up to Inverness for a funeral on Monday and her train was first. Then I walked Meg to her train and made sure she was on there safely. And then I caught my train. It was so busy and a lot of people had to stand. I was so thankful that I got a seat.

Today I met up with Christine. We went to Wesley Owen to do a little shopping and have some lunch. I was really angry because I found three copies of Authentic Beauty by Leslie Ludy on one of the shelves. When I had last been in Wesley Owen I tried to order two copies but they said that it was out of print because they were releasing a new edition next year. They asked around all the other Wesley Owens and were able to get only one for me and now I go into the shop and find three just sitting there!!!! So annoying!! It was really nice to catch up with Christine though because I have only seen her twice this term!
