Balmy October days

What a wonderful month of mild weather we have had. Not too much wind to blow the colour from the trees, lots of sunshine and mild temperatures. Such a day it was yesterday when I spent a half day in the company of Kati from the Czech Republic and Lini from vermont. Kati manages my friend John MacGregor’s Prague office and Lini, who has been staying with me for 3 days in her quest to land a new job. I offered Lini my guest room as she was having difficulty getting accommodation during the english school holidays and Edinburgh was, as we say in Scotland, ‘hotchin’ with people yesterday.
