sunny, sunnier, sunniest

Hello!!

The good weather is continuing and everybody is getting outside enjoying the sun as much as possible. Some of us poor students still need to study for exams, but others -including yours truly- are free to roam the city. In the morning I went to a picnic in the meadows, organised by some international students.

In the afternoon Annavera & Bruno and me moved to sunbathe on the slope of Arthur's Seat.





In the evening Annavera and me drummed up some friends to join us for a barbecue party at the hermitage, which was a huge success. The food was lovely (Annavera (paraphrased): 'I love to eat the meat with my hands, it feels good to go back to basics!'), the company charming and the surroundings enthralling.

On our way to the hermitage:

The perfect picnic/barbecue:




We finished the day with tea and three kinds of ice-cream: a muddy pool of chocolate, a mountain ridge of vanilla and a raked garden of strawberry. Sweet Edinburgh summer!

Cheers for now & I'm saying good night: sleep tight & don't let the bag pipes bite!
