"the pencil of nature"

View of part of the Old Town from the Castle Esplanade at night; just left of centre you can see the illuminated dome of the Old College building of Edinburgh University which is just across from where my work is.

Oh dear. Met friend after work in the lovely Victorian Guildford Arms pub, a great mecca for real ale fans as they have at least 8 different taps of proper ales on at any one time. Wild, wet and windy outside - rain and gales of wind, nice inside though! And score - they're doing one of their themed specials, all 4 of the beers by the Hebridean Brewery (the islands on the far north west of Scotland) at a bargain price. First time in a long, long time I got two pints and had change from a fiver. Naturally we had to sample all four (I call this mixed ale drinking 'beer salad'). Which was fine until the last one, which was Berserker, which is well over 7%... Yeah, that's a slow, sippin' beer that one...
