Shapes at the Museum

I only took 2 photos today and this is the preferred one. I like the lines and blocks of white of the newish addition to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh against the blue sky.

It was taken as His Lordship and I waited to take the bus to the furthest reaches of west Edinburgh to shop at M&S in the Gyle Shopping Centre, especially to purchase Brussel Sprouts, which we have missed over the summer and which have become a must have vegetable now that the nights are 'fair drawing in'.

The bus there from the Dower House takes a hour's convoluted route through old Edinburgh to the modern outskirts of the city at the Gyle with its wide tree lined boulevards and acres of glass fronted office blocks.

With the sun shining and unseaonably high temperatures, we could have strayed into some Continental city miles away from 'Auld Reekie'.

Having eventually reached the shopping centre HL remarked that he felt he had further strayed into a parallel universe inhabited only by elderly couples walking at half speed.
He is an impatient man at the best of times and feels threatened by the frailties of old age. Long may he be immune!


The museum only opens at 10 am, and so our little feathered friends which can just be seen on the roof, were a little early for entry.
