First day

The Edge... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

It’s raining all the way into Edinburgh. My new pre-used waterproofs are almost. There’s a large damp patch on my left thigh, but it will dry.

I get a visitors pass, a laptop, and a temporary desk. They take my photo. I apply for, and receive, a parking permit. I spend the day going through induction material.

It’s not raining so heavily on the way home. There’s leftover pork, which I stir fry, and oodles of paperwork. Tomorrow I’ll start on chapter 1 of book 2. Maybe.
