Today was mild and pleasant - not at all like a late October day! I went for my usual walk - who would have thought I could walk a mile a day? Voluntarily? I'm really glad to be doing it. I do a quick turn around the streets near my office, ending up in a park. It's nice to see the children playing there on fine days and just as nice to have the place to myself when it's dull or windy.
I've been doing this for several weeks now, but on my return today I decided to continue through the centre of Dalkeith and have a peek in a couple of shops. Big mistake. The centre of Dalkeith is full of bakeries and cafes, and the all pervading smell of pastries and fried food nearly broke my resolve! It would have been so nice to just pop into Greggs for a chicken bake, or even a sausage roll! Fortunately it passed, and I left the shops smartish and returned to my office where I thoroughly enjoyed my beans and rice.
