Trundling around on the trams on a beautiful evening
Today, Edinburgh had something it's seen very little of thus far this summer: a full day of sunshine. However, I couldn't think of anywhere interesting to go and didn't manage to persuade myself to leave the house until after 7pm, when I decided to use the excuse of a shopping mission to Tesco at Duke Street to go for a trundle around on the trams. I didn't really need to buy anything in particular, but I came away from the supermarket with an entire bagful of bits'n'pieces!
