Tentatively we stepped out and jumped a 16 to Leith; donated a metric fucktonne of books to a couple of charity shops, said hi to Qupi and booked in the laptop for a quick mend at the Remakery before wandering up to the Fruitmarket to meet her for a lunchtime stroll. (Visual contact has been limited by various child care things recently so even a half hour at the Fruitmarket was good to do)

She went back to work; we wandered back down the hill via the post office but failed in our bank quest. 
Laptop was duly fixed (new hinge) and off we went homewards in the gathering drizzle.
