DPP Day 20: Climb of Twine

This afternoon, for a study break from my virtual grading stack, I dragged I. into the great wide world of Leith for an afternoon stroll. The skies were grey but not releasing water droplets (an improvement over yesterday) and we walked through the nearby Links park, which--like St Andrews--claims to be the home of golf. The park is quite large and features a lovely playground, near to which is this amazing rope construction (easily fifteen or twenty feet high) upon which, we determined, children are also allowed to play. We enjoyed the grey-blue skies, the fresh ocean air, and the chance to see our neighbourhood in the daylight before heading back to our cosy flat, armed anew with a stack of books we discovered in a nearby charity shop at remarkably low prices.
