It's miserably dreich outside, but inside it's cosy & we've started a new Jigsaw of the week (Angela Harding's gorgeous Marsh Owl artwork!).

Come in, warm up, relax with a few puzzle pieces.

Earlier rains have been replaced with golden, winter sunlight, making the colours in Jack's "2026" window painting glow.

Well January so far may have been bitterly cold, wet, dark and full of seemingly endless bad news, & feeling ill, but it did also bring the annual Galette des Rois.

We picked ours up from lovely La Barantine for Second Breakfast/ Petite Dejeuner Deuxieme in the bookshop a few days ago. Les yumyums, as they say in France 😋

Very early morning GP appointment, the fun of a middle aged body never ends...

Too early for work, pointless going home, so treating myself to breakfast at Project Coffee before work.

Looks like the Black Sheep chain cafe that many in #Bruntsfield objected to (but the chain just ignored local objections, as per usual), is nearing completion.

Can't say I'll be using it; been in one, found it utterly soulless (no human interaction, all orders done on screen, not with a person), left & went elsewhere. Much nicer Indie cafes nearby.
