A decent day to be out on the bike for work; a good job I had 40 miles to cover, then! After a few swifties in the immediate 'hood, I knuckled down to a trek to Sighthill, W Hailes, Prestonfield and Newcraighall! The pick of the bunch was the first of this quartet - person I have to see has called us up and pretended to be someone else and got us to pay money to her. 2 months later it comes to light what she's done and her landlord evicts her because of this. So she calls us all tearful and tells us her cruel unreasonable (and £1K out of pocket) landlard has turned her out on the street; can we give her £1.2K for a deposit and a month in advance?

Sure, we say. And now she has called again - because her cruel vindictive landlord threw her out in the street after she stole his money, she wants us to refurnish her house cos the horrible landlord wouldn't let her back into the house to steal all his furniture to take to her new home. Some people....

At Newcraighall I turned back into the wind and wound my way back homewards through Leith before the remainder of the afternoon was spent tapping a keyboard and making meringues.

With the work done, I clocked up some more miles going to dinner with Her.
