Sitting in Cathcart Place top floor unit.
Cobble streets + stone buildings.
Run down part of town.
Glimpses of Euro trees on bus from airport.
Squat houses with pebble dash + a cloudy sky with some spots of rain.
Four days groceries at Lidl, Scots Aldi.
Square sausage slices with black spot pudding centres.
Creme fraiche but no cream.
All our train tickets collected and a warning not to lose them.
Wine, milk, chocolate and juice from J, and a small bear happy to be allowed out of B's bag at last.

Tortellini + arrabiata with Italian chianti after a nice cleansing shower.

Notes: I have reduced some personal names to initials only, throughout this journal, for confidentiality. The small bear is a teddy who travelled with us! There seems to be no agreement on the spelling of arrabiata.
