In Edinburgh for CoKE meeting
Always nice to be in Edinburgh, although I’d prefer not to be in a hotel again so soon after ISMB.
Just been to George Hotel: posh, but lots of twiddly bits never impressed me; food was plausible, wine was indifferent, coffee was awful. Staying in the SAS Radisson: good points, free internet; bad points, they have authentic wooden windows to look nice, and a inner draw window which acts as, well, a window. Sounds fine, but it’s single, transparent sheet of glass, 10cm in front of the wooden frame and I nearly broke my nose on it trying to look out of the window.
Ouch.
p.s. there’s a 2cm step between bedroom and bathroom with no function other than to provide a place to stub your toe.
