Work all day, through a day of glorious sunshine. When we finally got out in the evening a haar promptly descended on the whole city. We stomped around Holyrood Park anyway, and got home in time for dinner to be delivered from Soul Vegan. Tara crashed out, and refused any more walkies for 24 hours.
Leaving Edinburgh, Scotland at 9:50am (+01:00) on Saturday the 6th of May 2023 and arriving in Glasgow, Scotland at 10:35am (+01:00) on Saturday the 6th of May 2023
To Edinburgh to be looked after by Tara! She bounced so high when I arrived. And accompanied me on visits to Seeds For The Soul and Chapter One Coffee. We attempted to go to Harmonium for their final weekend, but it was full. Nova Pizza squeezed us in instead. Tara is not an early riser.
Mum left. I spent the weekend suffering alone. (I finished How to Get Away With Murder, and watched all of Mammals - because everything is shoving down my throat how funny it is but it wasn't, like, at all funny? and Willow series which I really enjoyed).
Finished Empire of Light and started the Expanse short stories collection.

Saturday: I let Tara lead the walk, and she took me in no uncertain terms directly to Chapter One Coffee. It was completely full, but she charmed a stranger into letting us share their table, got a special chewy treat from the staff, and over the next hour found at least three other people who were willing to adopt her on the spot. Later, we met F for dinner at Henderson's, which was superfantastic.
Sunday: We walked down the canal to Harrison Park and threw the ball for a while, then got brunch at Glow Cafe. On the spur of the moment, we marched to the train station and in time to go on an adventure to Livingston to see Lowenna (and K&M). The pups were in full zoomie mode in the house and the park, both attention-seeking and and possessive, but wary of each other. Lowenna is very submissive, so Tara has no problem standing up for her boundaries, but it was Lowenna's house and Lowenna is so curious and playful and a bit in Tara's face, though Tara was a bit too mean at times.
Monday: Mum came in the afternoon. We had a walk down the canal, then cuddled with Tara, and finally dinner at Henderson's again. The creme caramel dessert was THE BEST.

Return from Tara-sitting. Tram to Ingliston P&R, then car with Mum.
