Tired out boy

Woke ratter earlier than I really wanted to but the first walk was quite refreshing. Once Nicola and Mr PHL had surfaced I cooked some bacon for breakfast which was a much needed reviver.

I took Nicola into Waverley to catch a train home and then dropped Miss PHL’s sleeping bag and other kit off to her flat. She leaves for Malawi on the 14th so needs to be organised.

Home to enjoy a fish finger sandwich for lunch washed finish a rather nice coffee made by Mr PHL’s huge bean to cup coffee machine.

Phin and I headed off for a walk in the afternoon and although a man has been arrested for the attack on Friday evening, I didn’t want to head back to Newbattle. We had a lovely walk instead down the Penicuik railway path.

A call before dinner with some others from my schooldays. It will be 50 years in 2025 since we started at our school in our 3rd year of high school having passed the exams at the end of second year. So we’ve decided to try and organise a reunion. No mean fest as the last one was in 2000 in the days before emails and mobile phones. We’ve been able to secure a room in our old school building to hold the event as it stopped being a school in 1079 when a new building was finished. It’s now used as an artists collective and a community cafe.
