Queer Utopias are necessities.

Love is abundant"

A pretty bloom from today's stroll, brightening up a rather dull, rusting, chain link fence.

Coming home with chum after stroll and wee break and chat, pass side street by #Fountainbridge Library, several police cars & ambulance in it. Not good sign.

Few moments later, we passed more police cars and an ambulance, plus "police scene, do not cross tape" around entrance to #Gorgie City Farm. No idea if related or wht was happening.

#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

The historic Gillis Complex in #Marchmont is being put up for sale https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93x9n1w1g1o

I wonder if it will end up as very expensive homes like a converted church near this site.

Unusual bridge corridor over this avenue, linking the cancer centre to other parts of the hospital complex. Guessing a later addition since it's different to most other #architecture around it.

Then again, whole site is a mish-mash of different era buildings, from original, Victorian stone building, with Gothic clock tower, to modern additions from the 1960s, 70s, and later

#ViewFromABus : #Edinburgh this evening as I came home from meeting some book group chums to scout a possible new venue.

Gorgeous evening, but wind chill is more March than mid-May.
