Great times. We got out of Edinburgh for a couple of days to Anstruther on the Fife coast and checked out some serious puffin action on the Isle of May. Got a little coast walking and coo peeping in as well. Some Glasgow record shopping and kinetic theatre, some cullen skink for K8, a Cramps cover band (of all things!), a trip to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, and lots of good meals with friends. Not too shabby. ♥ 12:25pm
