well it must be for letting the pirate crew storm Hadrian's wall and invade Edinburgh. We arrived Saturday night, a bit too knackered for pillaging, but received a warm welcome from the Moff.
Sunday Capt Nick, wench Jo and the powder monkey arrive and head for town, a pint of Deuchars in Cook's favorite pub the Ensign Ewart by the Castle then down to St Giles to enjoy the stained glass ( fantastic Morris & Co window by Burne-Jones) then back to Moff's brig for a fish supper from the Central Fish Bar (15-16 Teviot Place) I had a Haddock fish supper for £5.20 plenty of chips and a very large helping of fish lovely it was.
This morning we headed for the zoo with the powder monkey, lovely day out even if most of the animals were either hiding or asleep, lots of baby gentoo penguins though very cute indeed, plus pygmy hippo, Indian Rhino, Maned wolves, Painted hunting dogs and a wolverine, never seen one of those before, back to the flat and I rustled up a chicken and mushroom pesto pasta dish, everyone stuffed and happy, mission accomplished I think
Let's see what happens tomorrow
