Oh ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road, an’ I’ll be in Scotland before ye’

Tomorrow I’m off to Edinburgh, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to it :). It will be my first time in the city, so if anyone has any suggestions of things to do/see particularly arty things let me know. I am hoping to at least visit a few art galleries. Of course the main reason we will be in the city is for The Highland Fling conference, where Aral will be giving a super amazing new talk (trust me I’ve seen it).
I met my friend Leanne today, I haven’t seen her since she had her lovely son Joshua nearly 6months ago, so it was great to catch up. We also went to buy the yarn for the christening blanket, we looked at lots but decided on ‘Wendy Beach Baby DK’ in cream for the center and blue for the edge. I am really looking forward to knitting up the blanket, I decided to do a plain square for the center and then a lacy edging.
Nothing much has been happening around here. I seem to have lots of ideas but no energy to put into making them happen at the moment. Maybe the trip to Scotland will help. I am looking forward to see the city in which some of my favorite books were written. I love the 44 Scotland Street books by Alexander McCall Smith, I started off reading the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books, and both series are super!
Caio for now x

Don’t just stay in the city. Go over to Berwick on Tweed and the surrounding countryside. The oldest licensed pub in Scotland is in West Struther (it may be one word) It is a tiny pub that doubles as a post office. And do go to Glasgow. I used to hang out on Beyers Rd. Great Indian food in Glasgow too.
Have a great trip.
