Due to all the hot weather we are having I decided to get a new bike (cool EH!)

Went to have an image printed at Rymans because the website was not accepting credit card. Could not get the machine to work 3 staff talking not wanting to help so give in. Decided to get some £1 pound coins from the Post Office (No Bank) “Sorry no cash only me on today” Had a look in the toilet block after the cleaner had just finished #### opps back to swearing.
After lunch a cycle again went down a few roads I have not been before and came across this little monument in the bowling club.
Into Edinburgh first thing caught the No 16 bus again and noticed it went on the route I have been before so a possibility it did go the wrong way yesterday I did see a group of people waving at a bus stop it missed. So second wrong way ? (still not swearing).
On the way up Leith Walk I spotted 2 Police type pictures.
Coming back from town by bus I rang the bell to stop and the driver went straight passed my stop taking me to the next one #### I did thank him.
I spoke to two women in the Spaceship camper and asked if they miss out reception and land on the pitch and what planet they have come from and they replied the vehicle does not fly? Funny Eh.
A good drive up arriving 1300 had l lunch then a cycle into St Andrews for a walkabout. A lovely sunny day so a bit of a rest this afternoon.
Up early to avoid the toilet rush looks like someone forgot to throw their rubbish out.
