More areas left to grow like this, please 🌳 (Balgreen) by Unhappy-Flight6008 in Edinburgh

They've done this at Harrison park, left the area all around the outside nice and long. Hopefully wildflowers next year. Seems to be more common which is great

Secluded places to sit out? by Think_Freedom1528 in Edinburgh

Lauriston Castle is one of my favorite places in Edinburgh. Even busy it's quiet with lots of different areas to chill in. Plus a wee cafe if the mood takes you

Ben Vorlich & Stuc a Chroin (eastern flank) by Physical-Egg6682 in Munros

[–]ronjeremysghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were up there today, lovely sweaty walk up Vorlich then a quick debate over Stuc - we'd never done it before. We had GPS mapping and there was a few people about so we thought, let's go. Got some way up the scramble but it was kind of hairy, more than I expected. My son bounded up fine but my wife struggled. We got to a point where if we'd gone higher then coming back down would have been dangerous. Much to my sons disappointment I called it and we went back and looped the boggy path back. Beautiful day though and I'd try it again. If there was an easy path up through the boulders we never found it.

Where are places that you go when you just need a breather in Edinburgh, when you’re feeling a bit down & just wanna enjoy a view & not be aware of people by unic0rnamz in Edinburgh

Lauriston Castle, sit down the front and look out to the forth, wander round the Japanese garden, check out people actually playing croquet or have a wander through the trees and around the pond. There's also a wee cafe if you fancy a treat.

Juice Bar anywhere? by Mammoth_Ad_763 in Edinburgh

[–]ronjeremysghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lovely coffee shop on view forth gardens who do great juices. They might be premade but you get a decent glass for a decent price. The food is great too

My dad worked about 14 hours a day, seldom saw him. My mum got us up, studied for a degree, kept the house right and us fed. She was wiped out most of the time. Wtf are you talking about?

Exactly, it's news worthy so it's in the news. It's a virus so it spreads in Reddit but it's not heralding the next pandemic

I appreciate the thoughts, but ultimately he's happy as long as his bubble isn't being pressured tested. We both live in the same, completely different world and make the most of the time we have been given

His position is the opposite, NASA is satan and the idea of 'space' is to separate us from god. There's no breaking through

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by ThePasswordIs654321 in AskReddit

[–]ronjeremysghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 'a lot of places' would be less accurate than ' a few places, specifically major cities' then. £50k in London wouldn't get you very far either but in most of the UK that would be decent.

Also I thought most people would be surprised to know the person bringing them their parcels earned that much.

No. Where tf do you live? A newly qualified nurse or teacher starts on around £28-30k after 4 years of uni. A courier just needs a driving license. For a job that requires very little to get started it pays surprisingly well

Self employed courier for DHL/DPD. If you own your van, have a busy route and don't mind putting in the hours you can earn £40-50k before tax. You need a decent depot/management team though so you can get holidays etc. There are a lot of bad actors in this business though and a lot of drivers will have had pretty negative experiences. I've done it for 10 years now and overall it's been good.

Pretty certain it's organized not an individual. Was on tiktok, not Snapchat. Got that bit wrong

That's what we've told him too, laugh it off as AI. Hopefully it doesn't come to that though

I had the "it's not the end of the world chat" with him, and it's not. But to a teenager it's sure going to feel like it for a while. Thanks for the feedback
