A brief midday update -- taking a break at the Central Library, which has free internet access. Spent the morning and early afternoon at Edinburgh Castle, which was scenic and, I guess, educational, though I'm dubious that it was worth the steep (£11, no student discount available) price tag. It also was a little heavy on military history of the "in [year], [regiment] was sent to [country]" variety, which I ultimately find rather mind-numbing.

Took some nice pictures, though. Then my camera went haywire -- I'm not quite sure if I can afford it, but I need to replace the thing. I may have worked out a solution of sorts, but there's no way of salvaging this morning's photos.

Heading off to the Museum of Childhood in a bit -- should be fun.
