Alexander Millar -an insight, but life goes on, and on, and on

A must for any tourist who appreciates a good class, but shop with history, they should visit Jenner's Store in Princes Street. The shop steeped in history is one of those with a Royal crest, etc for supplying to the Queen.
inside it is a lovely maze of old staircases, zigzagging from the basement toy store to the Zest Restaurant and Spa on the top floor.

On the third Floor is the Art gallery, part of the Breeze Franchise with a superb selection of art work ranging from Original oils, inks, pencils, limited editions, etc. I had a chat to Suzanne, one of the specialist staff who had a fabulous original by Alexander Millar, "Party Time".

I see an item in tonight's paper where my friend Gaynor Turner, from McIntyre's, managed to get onto the golf course at Aberdeen and speak to the American millionaire , Donald Trump in an effort to get her friend Clive Spiegel a place on the USA show, "American Apprentice". Well done Gaynor, bonus points all round.

Just popped into my head, we have been so pleased with the way things have been going since the tramworks stopped outside The Mercat Bar, albeit because there is this big dispute taking place - BUT - it never fails, today two "contractors" appeared to replace broken slabs outside the Bar at lunchtime, complete with stone cutter, etc, so guess what - front of the building disappeared in a cloud of white dust while customers were sitting having lunch on the balcony - IT IS NEVER ENDING - DESIGNED TO GRIND YOU DOWN, and I know all about that process by Edinburgh City Council.
