Stayed for a few days last week in London with a lovely friend in a lovely new flat. Excellent for views. And laughter.

A beautiful sunny day in Edinburgh when I went to see the Sam Firth short film 'Stay the Same' at the Royal Scottish Academy.

Last day of May and the sun came out and was properly warm for the first time this year. All the streets and gardens are full of people... So the mornings are the best time, when it's quiet.

I did some proper ballet exercises today for the first time in years and feel much better for it. I've been feeling like a lumpen elephant, and haven't been as productive as I would like. But my current research project is focused on nature watching and gardens, so it really is up my street and I'm trying to remember that it is okay simply to be enjoying things. The sun is out today. It's not supposed to last, but it's lovely while it's here.
