I went out for a curry with some friends last night, have a fairly straightforward day at work today then a pizza this evening and have a day booked off on Monday: I have some DIY lined up over the weekend.

Should be a good showing of the Perseid meteor shower this weekend too. It peaks tomorrow, but it looks like it’ll be cloudy. I might spend a bit of time in the garden this evening though, since it is supposed to be clear, and see if I can spot any.

    It was my wedding anniversary yesterday, so actually managed to sit outside at the pub and have a meal! Even our baby was well behaved!

    Took advantage of last night being warm and drank a lot of wine with the wifey in the garden. Feeling surprisingly good today and looking forward to scrambled eggs for lunch 🤤

    Driving back home to Edinburgh today after a week in the Highlands. Not sure I’m ready for the busyness. Looking forward to my own bed though.

      Update. Home now. Bloody traffic around those roundabouts at Perth. It’s always a nightmare.

      Stopped off at a wee pebble beach on the south east side of Loch Ness on the way home. Much quieter and less touristy than the other side. Great views, and a top espresso from a wee van. A great way to round off a week on the Highlands. But man, I need to get the AC fixed in the car. Sunny most of the way back. All sweaty.

    I’m probably Festering.

    Coming out of the tail end of Covid (my 3rd go yay!), I got stuck at my mum’s for a week and only managed to get home Weds night. It was a bit of a trek and wiped me out so I’m just going to continue yesterday’s routine of lying on the sofa watching TV with occasional feeding breaks. My flat is a bit of a state so I might try and do little bits of sorting that out. After a week of quarantining in a tiny bedroom at my mum’s, and having to look after both of us while being ill and trying not to make her ill, a few days of lying on my sofa and tidying my flat is actually heaven.

    Driving up from Winchester to Edinburgh today, Seeing friends tonight and then the Tattoo tomorrow evening. It’s been about (mumblemumble) years since I saw it at the age of 6 or 7. Forecast is a bit pants though so waterproof layers will be the order of the day!

      Tip from a local. The weather is nearly always better than the forecast in Edinburgh. But the other thing no-one tells the foreigners is that August is the wettest month.

    Just seven hours of work to go to the weekend, in the home office today so that’s a plus.
