Friday, 26th March: Edinburgh Coffee Morning, 8am at Centotre (George Street)
Lovely bunch of digital media, social media, and just generally fun folks chatting away and making new friends. The best way to start your Friday, if you can manage the arrival. On a good day, I generally make it for 9am and stick with the hard-core coffee junkies.

Dances suggested include strip the willow and the “flashing” white sergeant (gotta love a good pun).
