Monday.... Bad sleep - doubt, insecurity, lack of communication. Woke before 6, was logged on with strong coffee from 7, reading case notes and then out by 0745 on visits. Leith first trying to be the early bird that caught the worm. First Cigs of the day came early and unexpectedly and that put a spring in my step (can you do that on a bike...?)

Up to the top of the Walk, out to Hillside and Portobello and then trailed back around to the Kings Buildings. Popped in to see a former employer, then on my way to a moany man in Tollcross, then Sighthill by the canal and staggered at the Cigs ones I'd missed there the other day!

Back into town via Stenhouse Cross and met up for a late lunch. Had two to do after that, but last one was not til after 4....

Breezy day, mostly bright, little bit drizzle, but mostly miles and miles and miles on the bike. Could easily be 40+
(Just checked - 41) So arrived back, slept and then shower and left 2045 to go and cook dinner; had a fabulous chicken and blue cheese sauce with almost a hash and pak choy. Truly delicious. And we have been a bit preoccupied with our own lives for a few days, but when we're together....just magical.

In in the wee small hours, dodging drunk Irish folks having a great time....
