A great big thank you to my friend Marelli for daily support I'm at present wakened for the 4am feed however DD and her DH are so engrossed in having great pleasure with this moment that they are happy to carry on themselves think I'm getting home today. See you all on the 5th.

Scooter, can you not join us in Edinburgh?

Congratulations Elizabeth1, that's lovely news

Congratulations Elizabeth1! Wonderful news

Than you Marmight A wee baby boy weighing in at 8Ibs 6 1/2Ibs - (perhaps not so wee) mum and baby Douglas George named after my DH both home. This will be the first night in his own home and everyone is on call except DD who is now in bed with her 4year old snuggling In - it's sooo exciting. Had great pleasure in baby clothes shopping as the smallest clothes ready and waiting were too small. DD so very well after a traumatic first birthing experience. Aberdeen maternity hospital staff raised up and I'm full of praise for them. Now the fun begins.

Brilliant, Elizabeth1 We look forward to hearing all about him on the 5th. Unless anyone objects, tomorrow I shall book TEN of us into Gennaro's for lunch at 12.30 ish.

Oooh! congratulations! What is it? How is everyone? How exciting!

Count me in - baby has arrived 8 days early.

Four nil to Gennaro. I am abstaining. I shall go along with the majority decision (which at the moment looks like being Gennaro)

Gennaro sounds good but will go with the flow too!

Three for Gennaro and none so far for anywhere else? Could be a landslide "yes" for Gennaro!

I bet it would, ffinnochio - I'll go for Gennaro, too!

A vote from me for Gennaro - Italian would make a nice change

My vote would go to Gennaro as there are plenty of veggie choices on the menu.

I'd be happy with any of them though, they all have something I could eat.

Elegran you are a star for organising this again.

For me, it's between Le Monde and Petit Paris. But then again, I'm very happy to go with the flow.

Grassmarket sounds like a good plan?

....or even in the Grassmarket : something Italian/French where we can take our time?

Somewhere central? What sort of food do people prefer? There are lots of places in and around George St?

Good news, Ffinnochio and Besottedgran !

So it seems we will be nine or ten for lunch on Sunday October 5th:-
*Ffinnochio
Besottedgran
Thatbags
Marelli
Baubles
Marmight
Jane10
Penstemmon
Elegran*
A slight chance of Elizabeth1
Any more for any more?

I've not had any suggestions for a venue. Will you just take my choice?

I can make Sunday 5th Oct. for lunch. See you all there. #inthemoodforanadventure

Never too late! Will add your name.

It looks as though a lunch is the preferred nosh.
