And out in the gloom of Scotland's least appealing summer this century.

As usual, once you get out in it, it's fine. Just not warm. Or dry. Or summery.

Bike to Ravelston, met PJM my partner in crime for the morning, and we proceeded around town for  the morning with some interesting work.

Lunchtime we parted and I carried on with my stuff; eventually ending up home in the late afternoon.

I collected her from work; dinner at mine (lamb marinated in mint, coriander, honey, soy sauce, parsley, chilli, ginger, garlic served with barberry rice and chard) and a quiet evening of chatting and plotting.

The series of me and staircase reflections continues...

Extra is one from my travels today
