A nice, mellow catch-up day. I was supposed to have a day-long training, but it didn’t materialize. Except for the money part it’s probably just as well. I did my laundry; ironed my one good shirt to get ready for the Scottish Parliament.

Jen, Jerry and I took a little hike or big walk up a fairly steep hill overlooking Edinburgh and around a little pond with a bunch of baby swans, which I had done with Jerry last year, and this time it was just as nice.

Saw my first Westie (West Highland Terrier) actually in Scotland. They all look like Amy’s very cute dog, Charlie, whom I lived with for the last 6 or so years, and whom I will miss.

Later that day Dean and Merryn arrived and we had a really nice talk and dinner all together.
