The build

It's November, so Edinburgh must get used to the build of its Christmas. Lovely.

It was unbelievably hard to drag myself out of bed this morning in time to make my 8am coffee meet up in the Quartermile. I couldn't and didn't cycle, both because of the awful weather and because our lift has broken down (hopefully it won't be too long before it's mended, but it was making a horrendous noise yesterday so I'm not surprised it's out of service). It was also an effort to drag myself through the rest of the day which luckily was not too stressful. I managed to get away in good time to take a bus home, where I've had my dinner and I'm already contemplating my bed (at the earliest "decent" time).
