Uploading woes

Has anyone else had problems uploading images tonight? The first time I tried this image i cancelled it after waiting fifteen minutes. The second time though, it worked straight away. A bit peculiar....

The recovery from my prolapsed disc is slow but steady and today I used the 'faster bike no.2' which is someway between bike no.1 and bike no.3 in terms of speed. Alas, the riding position is not quite so comfortable but the pain lasts 8 minutes less on the faster bike.

I went for a wander in Princes Street gardens today and was stunned by the beauty of the late afternoon colours. There can't be too many cities in the world where you can walk less than one minute away from the main shopping street to find yourself in such a beautiful environment.

Hope everyone has had a great day.
