Our son came home for lunch today and Daughter 1, SIL and my mum were there too. Daughter 2 popped in and out with three friends she has staying: they're going to a university reunion. In the afternoon, Son, Mr Life and I went for a walk. It was a beautiful day.
The colours of the trees are picture-book perfect.
Looking towards Corstorphine Hill.
A bit further on.
Look at that leaf against the sky. Yum.
Some of the shades are more subtle. 
Back along the main road.
Trees in...
... various gardens.
Nearly home - looking towards the Pentland Hills.
My hanging baskets still bloom away - no frost yet.
And the tender plants - not for much longer.
Will this Busy Lizzie still be in flower when we get back from Berlin?
Oh yes, Berlin. We're off there tomorrow and the taxi's coming at 4.20 am. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I should pack. I hope the weather's as nice in Germany.
How much German can I remember from my two-and-a-half-years of classes, which ended in 1967? I do remember that "to buy fresh eels" is "frische Aale zu holen" - I think that's the right way to spell it. You never know: might come in useful.
Back on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed that the plane stays in the air.
