Countdown

The countdown of days to 'Mission Italy' is - well - counting down. Less than a week to go.

Took the car over to Portobello for a tune up and to try and revive the AC.

Walked back through the Botanics.

This colour red will always remind me of our lonely walk through the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary in the Jhandi Dar hills in Uttarakhand in the foothills of the Himalaya - to drop a name.

Took my first Edinburgh bus. Ironic as I will  pay no more on Sunday. Doubly ironic as we leave for Italy the next day.
