Sitting in the shade

Woke up today with nothing planned, but I ended up having an amazing day!

Firstly, I went to see Harry Baker - the world champion at slam poetry - at the Fringe with my flatmate Nicola and a couple of her friends. His poems were very good, and mostly based on funny things that have happened to him. If you like poetry or even if you just want a laugh I'd recommend going to see him - the show is free of charge and is on most days for the next couple of weeks. More info here.

In the afternoon I decided to climb Arthur's Seat, but it was much sunnier than I could tell from my flat so I gave up battling against the heat and just sat on a rock off the crags path (probably in prime rockfall location, but I'm still alive), in the shade of this tree. Heard the "click" of a camera and looked up to see someone with their camera pointing at me, so maybe I'll appear somewhere on Blip today. I don't mind really, but if you're going to photograph strangers, don't do it with a camera that clicks quite that loudly!

After dinner, my flatmate Charity and I went to the Commonwealth Pool - my first time there in many, many years and my first time swimming at all in about four years. It was tiring but good fun.
