Blegh. To anyone not following the news, Britain is having its wettest June in a century. The Isle of Wight Festival this past weekend was underwater, as was Download earlier this month. The sky over Edinburgh has been that horrible so-pale-gray-it's-almost-white smother blanket color for the past couple of days, and I loathe it.
I've been trying to distract myself from the weather by planning future adventures. I am pretty much officially going to Shetland in a couple of weeks! I booked a hostel in Lerwick today, and the plan is to book some day excursions, as well as train and ferry tickets, tomorrow. I've also been researching Uist. The only multi-day tours I can find are wildlife tours. Like, really srs bsns birdwatching tours. And they cost more than I really want to pay. I'm toying with the idea of just renting a bike and getting around that way, maybe even doing the entire Barra-Eriskay-South Uist-Benbecula-North Uist trek, but I doubt my biking skills/fitness are up to that.
Three days until the move!
Cheers, y'all.
