A free afternoon in Edinburgh. To Drumsheugh Baths, where I had the sauna suite to myself, and the refurbished pool almost to myself. Stayed far longer than intended. Then, via Harvey Nichols food hall for Amedei chocolate (the 66% in the green packet), to Plaisir du Chocolat on the Royal Mile, where I'm now sitting outside on the terrace typing up my research proposal with a cup of 73% Tanzania and a glass of water. I'll peruse the tea menu in a few minutes. I don't get time off to myself very often, but this is a great way to spend it.
