All right. How did Thursday slip up on me so quickly? Do you have weeks where you think Monday came too early and stayed too long? Then all of a sudden, it’s almost Friday! That seems to happen to me all the time.
So where shall we walk this week? Hm… how about Edinburgh? It’s one of my favorite cities.
Have a latte or a cup of cream tea and sit back. Take a look out the window at a sight that had to have inspired JK Rowling as she plotted out her tales of Harry Potter. I worked on Keeping the Family Peace whilst sitting here in 2010. When you aren’t staring outside, take a look at these great blog posts I stumbled across this last week:
