Outgoing
Rubber side up
I’ve been out on the bike a bit. On Tuesday, we cycled to and from Craigleith shopping centre (just under 4 miles.) Yesterday, I cycled with Elly to and from LifesCycle (just over 9·5 miles).

Upwards and onwards?
On Friday I received the following from the NHS specialist I saw at the end of May.
Out
Yesterday’s vigil for Orlando was the furthest I’ve gone from home (cyclemeter map) in weeks, apart from medical appointments. I’m very glad I went, not least because I met by chance with a former colleague from my publishing career.
I couldn’t hear most of the speakers but the First Minister’s message came through loud and clear:
We stand here in defiance of hate with a very clear message – love is love.
