Wee Daftie had another nosebleed last night so it was a night of broken sleep and spinning the washing machine at 1.30am. Unlike last time, she was still up early which was actually okay because we needed to be up and out the door, with our game faces on, for a walk around Arthur’s Seat with Auntie Numbnuts.
It was bitterly cold, the wind whipped around us in all directions. But the sun shone down bright and lit everything up with a warmth that almost chased the chills away.
Almost.
We had a fab walk, catching up with one of Wee Daftie’s favourite people and one of my (very) oldest friends. Aside from the cold, it wasn’t a strenuous walk but it was perfect.
We even stopped to feed the swans. And pigeons. And tufted ducks. And mallards. And probably a moorhen.
When my little champ started to get cold, we walked towards our bus through the Old Town. Such a simple but lovely day.
Bit like me. Simple, yet lovely.
The best news from today is that we have surpassed £500 from donations today! Which is…just…I’m a bit speechless, if I’m honest. I didn’t really have a target in mind when I started this but where we’re at now is definitely more than I hoped. Delighted. Utterly, utterly chuffed and grateful.
