Back home amidst the sun and cats and suitcases. The browns of NorCal are always such a contrast to the lush greens of Britain.

Our last day in Edinburgh, ending now with dinner at a Californian restaurant and excellent people at Dagda. It’s been marvelous.

Taking advantage of the “high” state of the dollar and the “low” state of the pound. Shopping day in Old and New Towns. Feeling consumerist.

I’ve discerned that I want to dress like an old man for the rest of my life. Wool and tweed waistcoats and jackets and slacks ‘til the end!

This should be the last day of good weather while we’re around. Which is saying something, considering it’s been raining here since May.

Cheers to those who popped ‘round for some pints and, apparently, lactating man-teats. @cygnoir had been warned, but she fit right in.

Headed to the Brass Monkey with @cygnoir tonight around 8pm. Edinburgh folk, ahoy!

Delightful to be back in Edinburgh again, even with the roadworks everywhere. This time, with @cygnoir along, makes it so wonderful.
