Purple loosestrife

At Inverleith pond. Morning wander to fetch bread; two loaves still hot from the oven, now sliced and in the freezer. 

Afternoon walk to Inverleith. Swans and ducks and two herons all sighted. The purple loosestrife is flourishing at the pond edge and in among the wilder patches of damp ground. Up at the new toilets the sewer work is nearly done and the trenches have all been filled in at the gate. We watched two big artics going through the main gates very slowly, having come in from the top (one with an empty bed, one with a tractor only).

Along at the Rocheid path bridge, we watched rings again; thinking now it must be something bubbling up slowly from the bed of the river. It's only happening around that bridge. We did see a school of tiny fish, just upstream of the bridge, and the bubbles are definitely not them. 

19C, breeze from the West in places, humid where sheltered.
