Sailing ships and the Royal Yacht Brittania

Not quite a day off yesterday, as I did end up at the Mercat Grill twice and the Mercat bar once,  but in between we ended up at Ocean terminal, Leith , where I had my usual wander.   There seemed to be quite a bit of activity around the Brittania, which is again proving to be a great attraction ,  and berthed nearby was one of the sail training tall ships in from Denmark.

Bit annoyed to see very little progress in West Maitland Street with the tram works -  couple of weeks ago it looked like they were taking giant leaps,  however, back to toddling about by the looks of things.

Off for a day's training at the Hilton hotel today and down to help out at the Mercat grill tonight where we have a number of bookings.

Good luck to the Scotland Squad in Paris this afternoon , and Hearts tomorrow when they travel through to Hampden Park for their Cup final game. ( but I am not daft enough to put a bet on for the double).
