I was at work.
Someone had come in to set up the video conferencing thingy, and had the telly on. The office gradually came to a standstill as everyone got word and silently filed into the conference room to see the events unfold.

My ex wife was on a residential course at the time so I tried ringing her to see if she'd heard about it. I couldn't get through. About four months later I realised that it was because she was shagging someone else behind my back and had her phone turned off.

Sad time DG.
Tell ya what though. Thanks for all of your pub suggestions. I stayed over the road from the Black Bull, so I did most of the pubs along that little strip.

Hope you enjoyed them.
It is a nice little area.

It didn't seem like a bad area. I'll try and book the same hotel the next time I go.

Try Whistle Binkies the next time for some live music.
It's only about a ten minute walk away from the Grassmarket.

I've been to Whistle Binkies!
I think my friend's band has played there a couple of times - Mad Nurse (just in case of coincidences)

I'll do a bit more research next time and get some directions for various places.
I did enjoy the Black Bull though!

That big hill at the bottom of the Grassmarket next to Biddy Milligan's?
Head up there, turn left at the top, go straight ahead to the Royal Mile, bear right and walk about a quarter of a mile. Pass the top of Cockburn St and cross the road, Binkies is on the right just down a hill. There's a detached hotel just before it, a big, opulent looking building.

I'm hoping that next time I'll get chance for more of a solo-explore type-thing.
For a work time, it was far, far too worky for my liking.
