Express

On the express bus from Atocha station to Madrid airport.

It was quiet.

Where in the world?

This wee man seemed fascinated by the globe on sale in El Corte Ingles.

And why not?  Never lose your sense of wonder.

Hurry up Senor chef

Somewhere in there my risotto is being prepared.  Have they no idea how far I walked in the Prado?

Where's my bag?

Madrid Airport

Packing

City break time

Catriona

A coo to watch over me

Well, hello Henry

Good to see a friendly face in the back room

Roundabout? Yes Dougal.

Yes

Dougal

Bleak Services

Annandale Water, A74(M)

It was as cold as it looks.

Robert

Burns statue, Constitution Street, Leith

It was sunny earlier.

Dazzled

More than justifies The Proclaimers' claim

Stand by your.... pint?

At The Stand comedy club for the lunchtime show.

Hurt from laughing by the end.

At the lights

Thought I was going to have to miss out today.  But a long stop at the lights gave me plenty of time.  On the A720.

Bugs Bunny's dessert choice

And very moist and tasty it was.

At Cafe Cockburn.

Spot the difference

Not the same shop as usual.

Holding back the tide

The tide of rubbish....

Leith Harbour office in the background

Doon the graveyard

It's a shortcut.

Gallery

Inside the City Art Gallery, Edinburgh

Chicken casserole

To be topped with layer of sweet potato.

Under attack

In the National Museum of Scotland

Vegetarians should avert their eyes

Mmmmm

The Haven

I've just emerged feeling full of all day breakfast.  One of the best cafes in Edinburgh.

Bin there, dun that

The scenic beauty of Southwaite Services, M6.

Cold and wet and windy

Horrible day to be taking photos.

Here's a lamppost to be going on with.

Does the world want cane chairs?

Yes, it's a shop day again.

Ready to write

About to begin my 104th consecutive day of writing 750 words.

See http://baclitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/ever-heard-of-750wordscom.html  for the result.

The sun shines on....

A church in Birkdale.

The best kind of winter day.

What's for dinner?

We are having people for dinner.

Not curried, just as guests.  They'll be allowed to go home afterwards.

On the menu -
Spiced blinis with lime pickle
Mulligatawny soup
Beef dhansak, Bombay potatoes, pineapple and tomato chutney, cucumber raita, rice and naan
Choice of spiced peaches or chocolate bread and butter pudding.  Or both.  (Not very Indian, but I don't do the desserts.)

I like curry.  (At the top of the pic is my box of spices.)
