Edinburgh Festival Fringe Countdown Day 1

Sunday 11^th August

One day to go and today was like the calm before the storm.  Not that I was expecting such a thing to happen.  I may be in Scotland but that doesn’t mean to say it has to rain all the time.
What I really mean is that it was the day of relaxation between the six and a half hour journey there and the first show of the festival for me.
I got up at ten fifteen and proceeded to very leisurely take a shower, get dressed and join my hosts for breakfast.  Early in the afternoon we went into Dunbar for a coffee.  None of this expensive Starbucks stuff though.  For you see Dunbar has its very own coffee shop that looks to be doing OK thank you very much without any outside influence or assistance. Along with my coffee I indulged in a piece of pecan pie.  And very nice it was.  Of course they do offer the same kinds of coffee products as the larger and better known places but as a non-frequenter of such establishments I am unable to comment on exactly which beans they use or where they come from for that matter.
On returning from the afternoon excursion I spent the time largely conversing with my hosts followed by a little bit of Internet surfing.  Early evening was soon upon us and time for dinner.  This was homemade Pasta Bolognese, closely followed by an evening spent in front of the TV.
Can’t wait to get to the first show!
