From afar

Complex day, involving work, a bit of shopping (which I'm ill adapted to, especially when it turns out that the first shop I visited has gone into liquidation...), a bit of photography of the star flyer, and then down Leith Walk for an excellent dinner and drinks with I and O, along with Mr A. During which, I should say, we requested the removal of a butcher's apostrophe.

Preparations continuing for le grand depart including ascertaining that our destination is 18 degrees south of Edinburgh. That makes a difference.
