Let There Be Light

Our meal last night in the newly opened Malaysian restaurant in Quartermile was a great success.
The food bore no trace of sodium glutamate so beloved in Chinese cooking and which might have had an influence on the Malays.
We had a seat where we could tarry with our wine, and as an extra on the house, a Drambuie liqueur, while watching the sun set behind the old hospital building.

It was fortunate we weren't offered chopsticks, the use of which severely limits my food intake, so inept am I at using them productively.

With another blue sky, no cloud day, my heart goes out the Edinburgh Marathon runners who are running from London Road all the way down to Longniddry and back to Musselburgh.
It's a long flat straight route with not a lot of shade. I just hope that the coolish breeze off the sea is a help.
With the coast road shut there was a long tail back on the city Bypass with cars trying to get to the beach; it's not the day to be sitting sweltering in a car.
