were the highlight of yesterday.
I had gone into a big art gallery but did not really feel like being there. So I wandered out and found two fantastic buskers. A young piper in full scottish rig plus a chap of african origins playing drum, together. It really worked, fabulous music. They mucked about with rythms on trad tunes, piper man did some stuff just on the chanter. It really made my day. Cheered me up in general but also made me feel better about my current policy of doing a lot of wandering around rather than tightly scheduled touristing. Then I got to see the art gallery anyway.
On the less good side, my cold is getting worse. Must get some decongestants today. I am concerned that it needs to improve before we all get cooped up together on our trip north on Friday. J is keen to avoid getting this, most understandable.
Think I will head to Holyrood today. After I do the dishes.
