Vet appointment this morning or so we thought. Loaded Maya into the carrier and arrived at the vet to be told that the appointment was booked in their system for tomorrow. They had, however sent an email telling us it was today. Maya (and her o̶w̶n̶e̶r̶s̶ staff) most unimpressed.

Someone recommended this over on threads so i visited @edinburghbookshop.bsky.social and got a copy. Excellent read, thoroughly enjoyed it and feeling more than a little pleased that I guessed the plot twist (well one of them)

We went to GoApe yesterday. Frog reasoning that since they're in pain all the time anyway they may as well do something fun. They wanted an action shot of daddy messing up the landing and falling over (as usually happens) but got this instead. You can hear how pleased they were :)

Now that I'm home I can download the official photo taken at the Lands End sign. Pity the new bike wasn't ready in time for the trip - maybe I can photoshop it in later 🤔

Little bee and I went on a little adventure. Cycled from Edinburgh to Perth which fills in part of the John o groats -> lands end route that I missed earlier. Whether I finish that this year remains to be seen.

Into Englandshire. Weather great. Short day today: Lockerbie - Penrith. Main challenge is to avoid arriving too early!
