After a drive back to Harrogate and a night there, Tuesday is Sunderland and Newcastle. With balmy weather I accidently find myself walking around in local uniform (T-shirt), while the locals themselves are in jumpers. A Newcastle Brown doesn’t go down well…

After visiting Fife, it’s an overnight stay in Edinburgh. We go to our favourite Chinese Restaurant, Wang’s (now called something else) on Lady Lawson Street.
Starters were ok … though a little burned. Main meals come out with orders messed up … which we deal with … until the mapo tofu appears … with pork. Little apology and nothing taken off the bill. We won’t be back.
We’re then off to Whighams. We spend a couple of hours chatting to a Maths teacher and his to be wife, generally putting the world to rights and trying to be convinced that “maths is cool”.

After a week of driving across the country, Therese and I head for … Kirkcaldy. After months, neigh years, of planning, my good friend Dave finally opens his games and comic book shop.
We arrive at Kingdom of Adventure early afternoon. Disaster, we’ve missed the stormtroopers and Lord Vader. Luckily, we clean up on a couple of books and a new card game. The shop was heaving the whole time … and hopefully will stay that way (except when Dave needs a rest)
Full details here.

After an borderline confrontational discussion with a racist last week, we return to the Gardner’s Arms. Fortunately the bigot isn’t there, though her much nicer husband is. We engage in a much more enlightening conversation with him and some of his octogenarian friends on their trips round the world whilst in service. Including in Suez.
And as ever, 2 pints comes to £3.06. Chilli KP nuts rock!
