After yesterday’s epic adventure along the Water of Leith, I was quite the tired human when I woke up. Almost felt like I had walked a half-marathon or something.
Still, we had some walking to do so I pulled out the “I need to get something so I’ll walk to get it” trick. And I brought Wee Daftie along with me.
The morning was lovely for a stroll and I wasn’t in a hurry anywhere so we headed over to Craigleith for a mooch and hunt for a metal jug. We recently acquired a candle making kit and one of the recommended tools was a metal jug for melting and pouring the wax. I figured there were plenty of places for us to search for something useful. And also plenty of shops to have a wee nosy through.
We found what we needed quite swiftly (thank you TKMaxx) but that didn’t stop us from window shopping before heading home for lunch.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, after we returned home with our step target hit. We built some Lego, Daddy Daftie and Wee Daftie played some Minecraft and I knitted some things.
I also got incredibly frustrated trying to teach myself to crochet but my brain was having none of it! I think that particular project may need to wait for another day. So I’ve started making some tiny blankets and teddies for Simba’s baby boxes. Much better idea as I actually know how to do that!
Not a terribly eventual day, but actually, sometimes that is a very good thing.
We have a few things planned this week – candle making for one – but the weather forecast as it stands doesn’t look amazing so we may need to get creative with some of our walking and other times just get wet!
Either way, looking forward to starting another week of Strolling with Simba.
