Nostalgia

Pretty dismal afternoon after the beautiful morning sunshine but I rode the bus all the way to Cramond after finishing school at lunchtime and blipped away. I haven't been there for years but it really reminds me of my childhood because we'd go for family walks most weekends. When I got a bit older, just my dad and I would go and discuss the world, the universe and everything while walking from one end to the other. Unfortunately, with two teenagers, our family don't really go for strolls together anymore.

School wasn't too bad today but I had a meeting with the (utterly lovely) yearbook crew and that always makes me stress a little bit as the deadlines are fast approaching. Thankfully I was home by half one and had a short snooze while listening to the dulcet tones of The National.

I cannot wait to sleep properly tonight. I've been excited for this all week and nothing and no-one is going to ruin it for me. If my dear father comes in singing 'Up up up' in an Italian accent as he has before, I honestly think I may cry.
