Daily Prompt: Local Flavor I don’t usually do the Daily Prompt from WordPress, but today I did a typically Edinburgh thing – went out to see what is on. Science Festival has begun – in the Magnificent setting of the National Museum a troupe of dancers from Scotland and China based their piece on the … More Local wonderful Edinburgh
Weekly Photo Challenge: Future Tense Not a photo taken by me, snagged from UK guardian newspaper, but odd that the photo challenge this week is about future. Is it tense?
