In a hurry

This fluffed-up swan was in a terrible hurry, swimming down the Water of Leith at a rate of knots and under the Sandport Place bridge. So fast, in fact, that yours truly, struggling for puff, couldn't keep up.

Beautiful springlike day, so we decided to punctuate a day of me sneezing working at home with a quick trip to Mimi's for not-a-Valentine's-lunch. I tried to take a picture of possibly the best scones in the world, but they didn't work out.

Sneezing continues unabated, and new cough mixture has been procured. Thank goodness we aren't going away this weekend, as planned, although we shall miss the friends and family we would have seen.
