A Wee Toast to You
Little did we think our humble blog would touch so many hearts and minds. Meeting in the ether has been therapeutic in ways that were not imagined at the outset.
Since the very gregarious Macfarlane has had his social fix put hold -your virtual visits have been there to provide the smiles, the laughter, the good humored slagging that save us from getting a bit above ourselves or dwelling too deeply on the dark side.
It will never quite match the warmth and spontaneity of a seat round a well laid table or a shared roasting of cheeks round the chiminea with smokey Ardbeg, but it is a reasonable substitute.
One of the most rewarding delights in meeting like this is the opportunity for new links to be forged and knowledge to be gained. The Bistro in the Sky seems to be taking on a clientele - not to mention a life - all of its own.
Bon Apetit ! And cheers from the two of us.

Didn't you read the warnings when you bought said chiminea!
'Dont lift your kilt/skirt or bare your bum in front of open coals
..Roasting of cheeks may occur...'
Johnny..
P.S. Thank you for giving us the avenue to express our feelings!
As I remember things from the dim and distant past, most of our St Mary's encounters with Dan (after school, that is) were through the ether...otherwise known as the local brew in any number of Edinburgh pubs?! Our cheeks took many a roasting but they were usually blushes to the facial cheeks (honest) as he slagged us off about something or other. The table was always well laid but with liquid fortification mostly- teachers' medicine, you understand. The only other shared roastings were nuts.... of the KP variety! Long may the Bistro in the Sky be open for messages of friendship, hope and love.

PS Mags, what are you doing up at 2.22 in the morning, posting Blogs? I know, I know, preparing the Bistro for another day. You're a star!
