Sunday 12.2.2017

A nondescript winter`s day...or so it seemed. Grey and cold as we set off up the road at a bit of a gallop (wanting to be back for the rugby, pity about Scotland) but of course no such thing as nondescript out there. True it was grey but the cloud was quite high, there was the occasional glimpse of blue and the sun kept making gallant efforts to break through, bathing everything in that distinctive slightly creamy winter light.


And yes, it was cold, a nippy breeze slicing at the ears, but it kept us striding out with a bit of yogic type breathing - well deep breaths anyway - detoxing the lungs...and no doubt the brain.

Still on a bit of a high anyway after seeing the delightful Madeleine Peyroux (http://madeleinepeyroux.com/) in Edinburgh last night at the Queen`s Hall which in itself was a revelation as a venue. The evening included a bit of a mystery bus ride (yes H. - buses again!), therefore getting lost, walking miles but then finding the hall with time to spare for a very good pre-gig supper at 10 to 10 in Delhi just along the street.

Celtic Connections in Glasgow was brilliant but last night I fell in love with Edinburgh all over again.

And for the rest of the day?
I read this

Will definitely try being "more Terry" from now on. :)
