WORK IS EXHAUSTING… Ben on his second Friday! I was not working, but got up with Ben and cycled with him for a coffee date at MILK, a simple little cafe near his office.
Ben headed to the office and I headed to the swimming pool.

DIY… Repainting the kitchen chairs. I found some Castorama paint in bleu clair satine. Who knew we moved this from France in Ben’s tool box? I decided to give our chairs a bit of a redo. They are looking much improved.

THINKING OF DAVE… My father-in-law’s favorite flavor or pie. Not as tasty as Sue’s.
We are still sans internet- today might be the day, but I have said that before, so don’t hold me to it.

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES… Ben enjoying a rare moment of solitude. Since we are without the internet, we are forced to talk and read. Ben is tackling a John Irving book. We are going to a talk the Irv on May 30. I am reading a book on Wallis Simpson, so far, rather interesting.
The internet is supposed to arrive today, so better blog posts coming later in the week. I should not do too much from work.

SO GOOD… Ben reassembling the day bed after it needed to be pulled apart to fit into our new place. We had forgotten about the glue.

WE DO GET SPRING… For those of you following the Edinburgh weather patterns and see day after day of rain and gloom- HA!- not for a spell this afternoon! This was on my way back to work after my lunch-time spinning class. Lovely.
I did however dash to spinning under the cover of my trusty ‘brella.

RED DOOR… There it is, our new place! We have a red door- a sign of good luck. At least that is the story I am going with. We took a stroll around our new neighborhood last night- it is going to be so great.

MOVIN’… Ben moved two van loads of our possessions yesterday to our new place.
We had to make a quick dash to collect a few more essentials after work and used this zippy Fiat 500- not a lot of trunk space.
We slept there last night, it was warm and comfortable. The dishwasher is even starting to be filled. La luxe!
We will be without internet and phone for a week or so- you can always call our mobiles.

CANAL RUNNING… We went for an 8.5 mile run yesterday in the Sunday sunshine. Ben begins a new volunteer project tomorrow at an arts organization in a community called Wester Hailes. I wanted to see where he will be working outside the home three days a week, so out to WHALE (Wester Hailes Arts Leisure and Education) on the heel-toe express. This is a picture of the Union Canal, which runs to Glasgow.

PANNIERS… I have some slick new panniers. They had their first ride to work this morning. Pretty easy breezy expect I was always leaning left. Looking forward to taking them further afield.
