Stand

We went for a stroll up the Water of Leith and found the heron standing immobile in the flood as usual. The water was powering over the weir with a mighty roar - strange that by the time it reaches Leith (less than a mile as the heron flies, I'd have thought) it's all slowed down to a crawl and is depositing large quantities of detritus.

It was nice to have a new year greeting with a couple of blippers on the walkway - strangely, at the very same spot where D blipped John VdG back in the summer. And I suspect that if we'd only called in to the Vaults on the way home we might have bumped into another blipper again. Blip is a strange and wonderful thing. :-)

This evening we finally got to watch a film that had been recommended to me....oh, twenty years ago at least (but I have a long memory)....it was pretty damned good. Thanks, Mr Peabody!
