Day 249

Two weeks in already! Where has the time gone? Seems like it’s just walked me by! No? I have a feeling I may be telling a lot more terrible jokes today. 

The blackout curtain is working really well. On one hand, Wee Daftie has been settling herself down as soon as the light goes off. I assume it’s thanks to the room being so dark that there is nothing to distract her. On the other hand, it had made no difference to her new trend of early waking. 5:50am she threaten me with this morning! So it was a loving wresting match, sorry cuddle, to coax an hour more out of her and then a bop on my noggin to get me up. 

We had a couple of errands to run and then we met up with a wonderful gal pal of many years. We used to work together in the cafe I ran years ago but have remained close ever since. She once even tried to leave me by moving back to America but I found her a husband here so she had to move back. I may be being a bit liberal truth here. (Not much though) 

We went for an incredibly windy walk up Calton Hill, one of my most favourite places in Edinburgh. The views are just stunning. You can see for miles and take in the entire range of the city from one vantage point. Just amazing. Edinburgh is such an eclectic mix of green, hills, trees, historical buildings, new architecture, red brick, grey, horrible old corrugated iron blocks of flats, so many spires. So, so superb. I never get bored of it all. 

Steps very joyfully met, ably assisted by my Wee Daftie and my Sista from Another Mista. My calves are definitely feeling the strain from walking into the headwind though…And I may have forgotten about the vitamin drops again. 

Look at that sunshine though! Loadsa vitamin D.
