View over Leith

A wet old day out, but brightened by a visit from the daughter on her way to Peebles to schmooze some client. And later we did step into the garden to harvest some figs; amazingly several of them were ripe, so that was the perfect accompaniment, darlings, to that French goats cheese which was now threatening its escape.
And then along to see Ad Astra with man of the moment, Brad Pitt. Starting out quite promisingly it descended into overblown baloney. The hurtle through Neptune’s rings on a washing board was particularly noteworthy. A solid 5/10.
And much later (M&S meal for two later) Graham Norton returns! So, that’s me packed, and alarm set for 6:10. Off to where the fig trees grow.
