smokingbootA day at the Burntisland Highland Games and I'm down with a cold!
Burntisland was lovely, beach and fair teeming, all down to great weather and people properly beginning to get past the fear of covid. Ironic really given that I felt grotty yesterday, had to crash out in bed and may well be doing that again this morning. I've take two Covid tests, both negative, so this is just a vicious sniffle.
Having overcome a huge obstacle in her career, the friend I visited is looking at her options, one leading back to Oxford, another to the Western Isles, and even a potential combination of both.
I like the idea of the islands but that's because I would chase the poetry of sea, sky, and standing stones, no idea what the reality of living on Lewis would be like. But I suppose that just as my friend may be leaving, so might we. If there came a chance or necessity to return to London, how would I feel? Not bad as such, it's impossible for me to feel anything other than positive towards the place, but right now it doesn't feel like the way. Still, my feelings have been wrong before. We shall see.
