Oliver living it large with a large<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After being locked in, snow, ice bound and sober for so long it was inevitable. I knew buzzing inside my rumbling tum was an urge to neck several large drinks and so why fight it? A literal social hand grenade I hit a small drinks party like Oliver Reed at opening time and took a weeks worth of units down in 3 minutes flat. Not big, not clever, just pissed and probably annoying.<\/p>\n

You just have to sometimes. It’s as simple as that. The now infamous 2am wake up<\/p>\n

This is a transvestite who has considerably better legs than me.Upsetting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

with tights on was followed by the dry mouth shuffle to the cold tap which I prized my mouth open to clamp onto for a few minutes. Now wide awake I returned to the bed and lay there with my head like a toyshop for 2 hours. Deciding I might as well get up I fell asleep again until 9am. Starving, the thought of a bowl of health giving cereal wasn’t going to cut the mustard so it was off to The Circle Cafe<\/a> who in my humble opinion do the best eggs benedict in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK and possibly the world.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C get it in there FAST<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A glass of freshly squeezed orange, a delicious creamy latte and two perfectly poached eggs sitting atop fresh wilted spinach, drizzled in hollandaise sauce and a split warmed muffin brought tears of joy \u2013 well I did have a hangover \u2013 to my red piggy roadmap eyes. Thank you Circle Cafe. I love you and your muffins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One happy Edinburgh housewife tackles Edinburgh pavements successfully.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perked up, sated and happy I shuffled along the Cresta run aka the pavements in Edinburgh for a moment before deciding to walk home in the middle of the road. It was less dangerous to pretend to be a car and travel in the centre of the road, putting my arm out to indicate left or right than die on a icebound pavement. Though if I had been breathalysed they would have taken my license off me \u2013 oh not they wouldn’t I’m not a real car. I forgot for a moment. God my hangover must be worse than I thought.<\/p>\n

Husband then finds me in favourite spot with a dry mouth, full tum in need of warmth.<\/p>\n
