Two Birthdays and a Walk

There was not a cloud in the sky today: the sun shone from the minute it rose until the minute it set making the 0° temperature bearable.
Fearing any icy paths over Bruntsfield Links on my way to Morningside, I walked the longer route by the main road to hand in a birthday card to Luca this morning.
Before that I had phoned my youngest daughter in Shipley who also has a birthday today. There is yet another one tomorrow when my Shipley grandson will be 12. The telephone lines are humming.. Hopefully the Royal Mail is too.

My blip is the view down Bruntsfield Place, taking in the Castle and the kiltie (on the left).

My extra is the Moon and the Mosque from George Square.
