Clouds to the north of us and clouds to the south but here it's bright and sunny.
Restaurants and bars are getting busy again. On the road in this morning we follow a large black Volvo estate car. It's being driven at a super cautious 23 mph . From time to time it drifts left towards the grass kerb. This is the sure sign of a US family who've taken a red eye into Edinburgh, hired a car and are now en route with their college age youngster to the university. The driver is discovering that jet lag, having the steering wheel on the wrong side and narrow ( and fast ) Scottish roads make for a challenging start to the day. At the roundabout the car stops while the passengers wonder what to do.
" Look out! The slope is steep and the road is slippery." Perhaps not the most cheerful topic for the first chapel service of the new semester for the assembled freshers but certainly a suitably Presbyterian one.
A new French hotel. Why don't we build more hotels on top of offices ? :https://www.maisonhelermetz.com/

The wildflower is Bladder Campion, I believe. And it was with a degree of shock that I realised, with your mention of it, that it is probably more than thirty years since I was on a bicycle (or owned one, certainly), though I'd like to think my balance would be as good now as it was then... 🥴 YAM xx
The flower is Silene Vulgaris. Here, in north Spain, is very common.
