A frosty start; being the mean dad I am I bundled them up in scarves, hats and gloves (those that hadn't left their gloves at school the previous day, that is) and off up through white (mean) streets of greater Granton on the bikes. And once safely installed at school I then went home to work  from the dining table, largely.

I did pop out at midday to Leith for a quick call, then back into the warmth (and the ongoing mountain of laundry). 

And then done at 4; up to the school and back for Tom assisted toad in the hole; and a quiet (for me) evening. She however is getting nearer breaking point with domestic stuff. Grrr.....
