If I won the lottery, I think I would buy an apartment in Leith.

Years since I've really been around there other when up for weekends, first flat I bought looked over where the Britannia is moored now,,, then looked at one in that block you rented in, what was it Ocean View or something, that was an investment not to live in, glad I didn't, property crash followed, but still got a thing about living near water...

Waterfront I think. It's brilliant nodding off to sleep to the sound of waves lapping up on the shore!

Looked at a few in that development, there was an ocean one, but was deffo in that appartment you rented, huge living area, kitchen and outside area if I recall correct, bedrooms weren't the best...

Medium rare sirloin steak. Had better...4/10.

Chic Ken curry

Fillet steak (from Lidl and only €5) chips and an egg 9/10

Snap, I had chicken curry yesterday as well. Today I had cod chips and peas but it tasted more like haddock. At least it wasnt sea-horse.

Toast and marmalade...I'm a culinary wizard when left on my own!

I had this last night, it was yum, had grilled tomato and boiled spuds with it, oh, didn't go for the smoked gammon just plain, but grilled some smoked bacon lardons that I mixed in with cheese sauce,,, 10/10 it was...
