A Successful Transition

Well, I successfully moved into the new flat yesterday. I was getting ready to walk over to the new flat with all of my luggage, which was about a block away. Daphne, the landlord, phoned Silvia and asked when she should be by to pick me up. Daphne has been so great ever since I arrived in Edinburgh and has helped with so many things. I went to the farmer's market yesterday and it was not as big as I was expecting. There were a lot of stands that were selling fresh buffalo and angus burgers. There was a small cheese stand that sold fresh cheese from a farm North of Edinburgh. I tried this wine called "Elderberry Wine" and it was extremely good, so I purchased a bottle for £5. It's still closed and I have no idea when I will open it, I'm not a huge wine enthusiast. There is a Jazz & Blues festival going on right now. I went to go see what it was all about yesterday evening and they had packed it all up. Apparently it only lasts until 7pm, and I was there around 8pm. They are having a Mardi Gras festival this afternoon and then a free jazz concert at Princes Street Gardens. I will probably go and check those out. I start my placement at the dairy farm tomorrow, should be interesting. I have a huge packet to fill out while I am there, so I will be quite busy with paperwork. Well, off to the festival! Hope everyone is doing well!
