Kerr & Smith

It is Open Doors Day in Edinburgh today as I realised when I returned from a blowy walk to Morningside and saw the Old Fire Station in Lauriston Place sporting a historical horse driven fire engine on the forecourt. There were a lot of Fathers and Mothers glad I imagine of finding some free entertainment for their children on a Saturday.

I was unaccompanied on my walk as the bad news is His Lordship is nurturing a mancold. The good news must be that he didn't get it while we had our 5 day break in the Hebrides.
A man with a mancold is not an uplifting experience to behold, nor unfortunately does it evoke a huge amount of sympathy from me. The Florence gene for common cold nursing was another missed one when my Mama was collecting at the gene pool issuing station.
