Tickets booked for special screening of the oldest surviving animated feature film, Lotte Reiniger's gorgeous Adventures of Prince Achmed, as the Filmhouse reopens this weekend.

1926 - nearly a century old, & being screened with live music. Wonderful.

Quick snap from the passing bus: an open door at my beloved Filmhouse !!! Exciting after so, so long. Roll on Friday's reopening!

Oh, Filmhouse, I will have you back again. After all, tomorrow is another screening...

Normally walk to work, but feeling bit bleah, so thought take bus.

Can't go directly, so bus into town & switch to another... Of course the one day I do this is the day something happens in city centre & all buses delayed.

Awaiting bus home from book group, witness bloke cycling busy main road, hands in the pockets of his hoodie, not the handlebars. How he expects to react to a car suddenly braking or pulling out, or hitting pothole he never noticed is beyond me...

Moments later, bus turns into Princes Street & has to avoid a tourist woman standing in the road to take a photo, back to traffic, oblivious. Ye gods but some people are too fucking stupid to live...

Looks like the Marie Antoinette fan club gang has been in town...

10.20 at night, the day after midsummer in #Edinburgh , and although the sun has set as we exit the train station, it isn't dark yet.

Awaiting chum to catch train to Glasgow so we can spend afternoon with a friend, who's been through the emotional mill lately.

But first, left home early so I had time to treat myself to lunch in lovely Roasters cafe at Haymarket beforehand.

Another brick in the wall.

Well, actually a lot of glass bricks in a wall, if I'm honest.

Misty morning by the Union Canal as I walked to work; brighter later, then rain, then warm sunshine strolling home.

As @andrewducker & I were discussing earlier here, there's a reason why folks in the British Isles live up to the stereotype of always talking about the weather!

Best wishes to everyone taking part in #Edinburgh Pride today, and also the annual canal festival. My turn to work Saturday, sadly, so I will miss both.
