well now that it's november....
last week was a very pleasing week in the country, well allover the country really, the country being Scotland (which prefers to think of itself as a country, and is building an architecturally brilliant parliament building for £400m so i allowed to say that)
From Edinburgh (where i am now and have been for 2 months) through Perth, to Inverness, West to Portree on the Isle of Skye, then seven hours of bus to Glasgow, Carlisle (now we're in England, which also has it's own parliament), Greenhead (my Hadrian's Wall stop) and finally to Newcastle before the trip home. I only brought my day pack, for the week of travel and fared rather well.
Problem: now Edinburgh seems so, well... done. Whatever shall i do?
Tom has Winnipeg friends arriving in town for a couple months, which i imagine will change the dynamics a smidge, perhaps for the better? Not that they're bad, just, well... old.
