green_amber.. despite multiple cumulative hangovers has featured quite a lot of my favourite soothing things: first, a two hour (!) walk with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
andrewducker along the canal, some of it in sunshine, observing sweaty joggers coming out for spring and frantic accompanying doggies, all the way along to the aqueduct - where the Union Canal is actually lifted over the peripatetic Edinburgh river, the Water of the Leith. It's not exactly the Falkirk Wheel (which Will Self of all people is most impressed by in today's Indy!!)but it is an interesting bit of engineering. Will post pic. One girl was very tentatively wheeling her bike along the tow path because she was afraid of heights! I suppose a drop is something you don't expect on a canal..
..then fry up brekkie (with excellent sausages from local butcher, Sunday papers); and then second visitor, Best Pal, for a good gossip session and eating some of yesterday's left over cheese and grapes:) Am now going to see if I can catch either Torchwood or A2A on Virgin Replay before I fly back to land of No Cable No Sky Dish!
