Future Islands

I took it easy this morning.  I had thought of fitting in an early run, but I was meeting a friend and really didn’t have time, so instead I pottered, doing a few chores, until I realised that I was still in my pjs, when I should have been making a plan to head out.  I was only a few minutes late, so not too bad.  Turns out my friend had had a similar approach to the morning.  We met at a local café and it was so nice to catch up as we haven’t seen each other for ages.
 
Once we had parted company, I went off to purchase lunch for the boy.  He wanted an early lunch as he was playing football, however by the time I got home, football wasn’t happening.   I left him with his lunch and went out for a run.  It was lovely and sunny and the air had warmed up.  I had my lunch when I got back, then popped out for some shopping, then got myself ready to go into Edinburgh to meet TT.
 
I had planned to read my book on the bus journey, but ended up messaging friends, which was lovely as we made a spontaneous plan to meet up next weekend – hopefully that works out.
 
TT met me off the bus, and we wandered in search of food – eventually settling for Wagamama, mainly because it was convenient and because we are so out of touch with the Edinburgh restaurant scene.  Quite a few things on the menu weren’t available, including what I wanted, so I had to think quickly and choose alternatives.  Once we were done, we headed up the road to the Usher Hall for a concert.  I’m not sure when I was last in the Usher Hall, and I’m not sure when I was last at a concert, that wasn’t related to school.  We were there to see Future Islands, who were great.  So nice to be out for a normal night out and with live music. 
 
We were amazed that BB was already in bed by the time we got home!
