After dinner today, Camilla and I considered watching The Cat from Outer Space, a 1978 "cosmic comedy" about, I guess, a cat from outer space. However, as we will be leaving Edinburgh in approximately 48 hours, we decided to go for a walk instead, and see if we couldn't find a nice new café, so that we could be all annoyed about how we spent so much time in Edinburgh and never visited it.
We decided to focus our attention on Marchmont, an area of town I've seen quite frequently, as the 41 from the city centre to King's Buildings pass through there, but which I never really spent any time in. It looks really nice, though, and it's just at the other side of the Meadows from here, so it's really the perfect place to go for a walk.
In the mean time, I am of course bitter, as I have probably gone past the place in a bus more than a hundred times, and never thought about it twice. There is nothing for it, except getting a job in Edinburgh and buying a flat in Marchmont.
