Underwhelming day; tired, fed up, frustrated, defeated.

Not sure what I did in the office, frankly. Out at lunchtime with Allan - into the sunshine for an extended wander about. Traipsed around St James, Holyrood, Calton Hill. We got around.

Out at 5, and then met up with her for school clothes and food shopping.

Back to hers, sat a while and chatted before I came home and ate and marvelled at the 60 all out on catch up.
