Four Oak Trees and a Lamp Post.

Awake at 4.40??? How the eff is that possible after a 12 hour hard graft and with a (slight) hangover Sunday??
Slept again at 0630 until she text at 7 which thankfully woke me; and into the office for Monday.

Bizarrely the phone never rang all day. (I checked. Several times. It was working)

End of month expenses / stats / claims etc. Blah.

Lunchtime - out seeking photos. Instead of turning north, I went south on a sprawling wander from Dumbiedykes across to the university and back down the Grassmarket / Cowgate.

An afternoon enlivened by my new French BFF; he presented at the front desk around 3.30! An engaging 40 minute discussion on school holiday dates (he needs to finish his canoe before schools finish for summer), the various ways a joule can be calculated in relation to calories (we settled on 0.239 as the standard conversion in the end) and the rise and rise of beige as a neutralising force used by the prison service and the housing department to control people by - well - beigeness.

All intoned with impeccable Allo Allo dialogue with a couple of Leith-y 'ye ken's thrown in liberally.

By 5 I could take no more so fled for home in the Siberian summer weather; Lidl for supplies and then in to snooze, then wash up then eat then sleep (That's just about to happen. To think I got called a party animal today.... pffft!)
