Sadly I didn't make it to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition in the end as I didn't leave myself enough time, but Edinburgh hosted a shipmeet this lunchtime which I don't think was very weightwatchers-friendly (not at all helped by me scarfing down a pudding which I didn't really need, but which was flippin' delicious after a week of no chocolate!). I do like Edinburgh - after the meet a few of us wandered round up the Royal Mile to the Castle and back before getting the train, and although it was a bit parky (brrrr!) it was a good way to walk off the cheesecake and reacquaint myself with the city. It's very different to Glasgow - obviously a lot prettier, and more compact, I think I feel much more at home here in the bigger city but Edinburgh definitely makes a good change, will have to try to go there more often. And I really ought to try to get to the Festival sometime. It would be silly not to, being so near.
