Saturday 5 October 2013--Shopping day. I left my hand-held GPS at
home, so buy a new one at an outdoor shop on Rose Street. Then up to Coda
for a stack of CDs, and Cadenhead's for a couple of bottles, a Springbank
and a Teaninich. There is more sampling involved. Someone at Coda
mentioned a free food fair at the university, so I go to check that out. There's a
long line...I don't do lines. Find lunch elsewhere and take my haul back to the
B&B on the bus. After a nap, I catch the bus back up to the Mile and meet
Willie at the Bow Bar. Many pints and drams meet their demise. Audrey arrives
at 10:00 to whisk Willie away, and I proceed to have unnecessary pints at the
Ox and the Cumberland. There must have been dinner in there somewhere.
The bartender at the Cumberland wakes me in the snug at closing and sends me
on my way. I travel on the street, through Canonmills...if I were to stumble on that
footpath, no one would find me until morning. No one good, anyway.
