Somewhere in Edinburgh

[andrewducker]

So I headed out of the flat to see the march, realising a scant half a second after closing the door that I'd left my keys on the bed.

So I phoned Erin (who keeps my spare keys), to find tht she was already in the meadows, along with 120,000 people, waiting for her bit of the march to start (they're sending them out in waves, so that the end result is a white band around central Edinburgh). I got her sister Tara's phone number off her (her two sister's are up for the week - booked in long before the G8 was announced) and spent a lazy afternoon in Princes Street Gardens with her. Was most dissapointed to see not a single face-painted anarchist chainsawing a capitalist to death.

Met up with other sister Clare at Haymarket and then staggered back to Erin's (via Maplin, who seem to be the best computer parts store in town), where I've been persuaded to join them for Chinese.

I'll just have to make it back home for 8:30, when Ed arrives back from the hell that is Southern England.

I heard about the demonstrations - how did Edinburgh feel with 400,000 people yelling on the streets about it?
