Brrr Heating Broken

A leaky boiler meant 2 days without heating.

Erin and Rhys -- Stop Over

Erin and Rhys stopped over tonight as there is no school tomorrow.

Jean and I are suckers for allowing to much XBox time.

"War Horse" Visit to Edinburgh

Jean and I had a couple of days in Edinburgh which included a performance of War Horse.

We stayed in the Travel Lodge just of the Royal Mile. Dinner was at a "9a Holyrood Rd". They offer a huge selection of beers and 22 varieties of burgers.  On the second night we ate at the Festival Theatre before the performance. We had breakfast at the "The Larder" by the Radisson  Hotel. Creamy scrambled eggs and spicy sausage. Including real leaf tea.

We played tourist:

With plenty of stops for coffee

Walking around:

War Horse was memorable. Your imagination allows the horses to be "real" and soon you do not see the 3 puppeteers making the horse twitch and move.

I was brought back to the film Gravity which I saw last month. All the computer graphics could not make it as convincing as the stage production here.
