Diary of an Edinburgher

By LadyMarchmont

Quite a bit of activity today! Not only did I manage 40 minutes on the bike, but I went a big walk too! I surprised myself! Mind you, I’m SO stiff this evening - this is when I wish I we hadn’t taken out the bath...

JR was taking Archie out for a walk, and mentioned a coffee at my favourite, Kauai, where we haven’t been for absolutely ages. This tempted me... We had a super coffee each, and JR had a banana & peanut butter muffin. (Archie had a teensy wee bit).

We were served (through a window) by our favourite waiter there, a young Spanish chap who loves living here - he likes the weather! My app on the phone wasn’t working, for some reason, and so he just gave us the goodies as a Christmas present. 

We walked along the road to the bus stop (I can’t fully appreciate a coffee while standing, or walking). I felt quite rejuvenated after it, so that instead of heading off home, I walked on into town with the others. Through the Gardens, round by the Grassmarket, up the Vennel Steps and back over the Meadows - a total (including the bike) of 12,727 steps! I did have quite a few sit-downs, but no wonder I’m stuffed!

I’m about to be even more stuffed, but in my preferred way - JR has gone to get fish and chips. Archie always wants to go too, as the boss always gives him treats. So everyone’s happy.
