A Good Weekend

The weekend actually started quite badly, with a disobedient bike spitting me off at high speed resulting in an involuntary skin sacrifice to the Gods of Mayfield Road.

Still, things improved dramatically what with there being some rather scorchio weather round these parts, giving that excellent carefree summer weekend vibe that makes you feel like eating salad and generally larking about. Cue a barbeque on the meadows with lots of friends, followed by a game of rounders and a few rides in the funfair. We even managed to get an outdoor table in one of Edinburgh's few beer gardens to finish the night off.

Today was a trip to Aberdour for some sea-cliff climbing. A big smiley sun making the view across the Forth even more spectacular and general good cheer all round. Plus I helped a friend get over her fear of lead climbing, which I think gave us both a nice warm sense of achievement.

Nothing ground-breakingly exciting there, but just stress-free and totally enjoyable. The kind of weekend that makes it easier to put up with crap midweeks, ad what more could you ask for?
