Thursday

Well, the weather is always perfect on Marj Island of course but in Edinburgh today the sun is shining away quite merrily. It's beeeyoootiful! Or it looks that way through the window anyway. I may be in danger of sunburn at lunchtime today. Goody!

Nat and I had a little picnic in Holyrood park yesterday evening. We were supposed to go to the cinema but it was far too lovely to be stuck in a dark room having to look at Tom Cruise (MI3 - I didn't pick the movie so was quite happy to miss it!). We had olives and salami and chorizo and bread and taramasalata and cheese. Yumsle! My top tip for picnics is that, if you forgot cutlery, a carrot stick can be used to smear taramasalata on sliced bloomer loaf to produce a delicious and fishy snack. The important thing is that you need to remember the carrot though ;o)

We also had a bottle of cava, a bottle of white wine and some fags. Hoorah! We covered the essentials then. The pished stagger home afterwards was so much fun!

I wonder if I could persuade anyone to drunken picnic this evening? Stay tuned to find out....
