…please.

Me and Mrs S heading up on the new train on Wednesdaty for her birthday. I’m currently in bad books so need to treat her to a good day. We used to live in Edinburgh and still go out there quite a bit so hav ticked off the usual outings. Any suggestions for great lunches, interesting galleries or exhibitions or other ways to spend 5 or 6 hours?

Cheap hotel? Then 4 hours and 55 minutes of awkward silence. 4 hours and 50 minutes if you do it twice.

Have you increased n+1?

Get the Train to Glasgow and go see “Dragon” at the Citz?

Otherwise its just museum of scotland/gallery/sheep hied inn/cramond/botanics/edinburgh dungeon/castle (Stirling is better)

She’s a doc isn’t she? There must be a medical type exhibition kicking about somewhere. Then go to Burke and hare just to follow on with the theme.

It is exactly that sort of suggestion that has got me in the bad books in the first place

If she is a doc, hasn’t the Surgeons Hall museum just opened after a major refurbishment?

check out “timeout”. often posters around the city for “do one thing this week” which i often think “that would be great if i didn’t need to get home and change nappies”.

Otherwise, Falko for coffee and cake. Accept no substitute.

Mums on Forrest Road for lunch then drinks at the Trongate.

No need to thank me…

(make her feel [insert appropriate fraction here] her age by living it up like a student)

If she’s a doctor, have her write a prescription for some Rohypnol 8)

Pop out to east lothian, walk on the beach, fly kites and falko in gullane or steampunk in Dunbar..

if you have been in the city, get out of it a bit !

Had a cracking brunch in Tribeca yesterday, wandered across The Meadows, even snuck a wee wander into The BicycleWorks and Edinburgh Bike Co on way past (Daughter is in a student flat just beside BicycleWorks 😀

If at first you don’t succeed…
