Great pictures again Retire1day.

The men in skirts look at tad uncomfortable, seemingly adjusting their attire.

Yeah, it was a joke just in case anyone does take offence about skirts. Such good weather here, a nice place Edinburgh and it is not too spread out but my son has had me walking 7 miles each day and for a desk bound person this has been very tiring for me, I am overweight and out of shape. A lady I spoke with told me all under 22 year olds get free bus passes here now so that will be good as my son should move here later in the year,.you have to live here etc to get that benefit. I am always interested in politics but I can see how Sturgeon wins some votes, the above, no uni fees, free prescriptions I think, I got a bus, £1.80 for a single trip, more than double that where I live not that I get the bus there normally but for the voters and the masses add all these things together and you get votes.. No doubt someone would tell me it is at the expense of the UK taxpayer and Scotland are heavily in debt etc. Better not go there! Many roads closed here, tram works going on, difficult for cars to get around for the next few years.

I am in Spain next week, further south to start with, the river beds that are normally dry there have been running with water in Almeria after heavy rains. Another friend sent a video in the Granada province,. he has so much mud around his villa and up the walls it was unbelievable, looked like 100 people had a mud fight. People at work say have a nice holiday, I think a holiday home or even two means a lot of work rather than relaxing. First of all, a 7 hour drive back home tomorrow dodging all the speed cameras.

The last photo my son took and sent on WhatsApp, so it is degraded. I did find out on Friday that if you use WhatsApp and attach the photo as a document, you get the full quality, so after attachment, attach document and find your photo that way. I dropped him up to Edinburgh recently but he is back already, his masters starts in a couple of weeks. Lots to see and do in Edinburgh as you state. He found a place to rent on Facebook,.nice to see it exists. Apparently they have found mice inside the house! Old place it is like most of them there.
