"Queer Utopias are not fantasies.

Queer Utopias are necessities.

Love is abundant"

#Bruntsfield Links, from this afternoon's stroll. Towering spires, handsome Victorian stone tenements, Edinburgh Castle, and the great, extinct volcayof Arthur's Seat, all from one spot

"Our whiskies cannot be excelled"

Fading signage from a long-gone pub in #Bruntsfield . The ground floor wall is different from the rest of this tenement, so guessing remodelled into a flat after the business closed.

The sign is all that's left, slowly fading...

Excellent evening at the Pianodrome in #Bruntsfield , for Strawmoddie's production of Amadeus.

First time I've had a chance to visit, the seating is all made from recycled pianos. Admittedly not the most comfortable (they do give out cushions tho!) but v cool. Didn't distract from enjoying the play.

Good recovery walk today, first time since the op I've tackled the uphill route to #Bruntsfield .

Wee read on the Links, go hang with my chums at the bookshop (so missing being there at moment), then with chum to nearby Ciccettas to try their ice-cream (delicious!).

They opened near our bookshop just before my op, this was first chance to visit, so after my walk met chum from bookshop then gelato ahoy!

Today's recovery walk took me uphill to check on the swans, then #Bruntsfield

Visit to my chums in our bookshop soon, but first need a seat to rest in the Links, recover my strength (still pacing myself), & some outdoor reading of @aptshadow

Today's recuperation walk took me to Thorne Records , chat with the guys, pick out some #vinyl therapy, then across to my bookshop.

Hugs & nice catch up with chums, even recommended & sold a few books to people. Felt good, even just for a hour.

After visiting my chums at the bookshop (so nice to be back for even a little while, & so many hugs 🤗🫂), I walked across #Bruntsfield Links to Tollcross.

Sadly the earlier sun was giving way to clouds & rain by then. Still a nice spot for views: Victorian stone tenements, towering spire of Barclay Viewforth Church, the Castle & the great, extinct volcano of Arthur's Seat, all from one spot
