Quick update

A few links for the records, and a couple pics too.

Henrick's is the closest local pub, and it's really lovely. The second closest is a pub called the Auld Toll, but they have a restroom verging on the Trainspotting and the name is too close to "the Auld Tool" for my comfort.

Black Medicine is the best local coffee shop, and where I'm posting this from. Good coffee is a rarity, and they serve food as well.

And now a few photos.




Feathers I found in the park.
The middle one is iridescent blue/green but looks black here.
Any idea what birds they come from?



Super weird crest on fireplace at school.
Why is a giant disembodied hand about to grope the prone naked dude??!?



Grand Hall at school.
Apparently Hogwarts offers summer programs for Muggles.*



Crabbie's is alcoholic ginger beer,
aka the best new beverage I have tried in years.



*On a serious note, the building used to be an asylum for the insane, and in the corner of this room between the fireplace and the doors is a big trap door they used to dump corpses down to a basement morgue.
