Red Clock

I just couldn’t get going quickly enough to get the early bus this morning, so I went for the next one instead, and had loads of time.  I was in the office for about half an hour and then headed out to a meeting.  I seem to be pretty much stuck in the office these days, and it is always a real treat to get out and about – even just in Edinburgh (Glasgow last week, Stirling tomorrow!).  I then spent the rest of my day at my desk interpreting a paper that we have received. 

I did manage out at lunchtime to do an errand.  I had to go almost at Stockbridge – which is quite far in my lunch break – even though I was walking briskly. 

The temperature in the office dropped again later this afternoon and by the time I left it was freezing – and all of us who were left were complaining about the cold.  And guess what – the bus home was rather chilly too.

I came home to a lovely tea, cooked by TT and the sight of BB doing his maths homework (having done spelling and cello.

A number of buildings around Edinburgh are lit up red to raise awareness of fundraising for the poppy appeal.  Here is the Balmoral clock in red.
