Pentlands still there

Not a great deal happening at the moment.

Had a good day on Saturday though. I went to the Pentlands with dearg, and it was an enjoyable mostly-dry walk. It's a bit colder now, leading to the usual amusement of me trying to put layers on in a sudden strong freezing wind at the first peak. Must get some warmer clothing.

Either we finished at just the right time, or it's a lot more pleasurable walking up a hill in the rain than standing at a bus stop.

In cosier news, I recently borrowed and read Going Postal, the latest Terry Pratchett. As engrossing as expected, if perhaps a little too believable. Must pick something else to read tonight.

Um. That's it.

Edinburgh

Well was in the city to see Rosina & mum and did the Scottish Parliament! As you went off on your climb we took the tour and I would highly recomend it. Controvercy re funding aside it is fantastic! There it is plonked down and looks really strange BUT go inside and you see Enric Miralles has done his sums. The views to the crags from unexpected places,incorporating Queensberry house - worth a view and the mad man has sold me his design. Helen
