Good day to you, CNY residents and outlying subscribers. We’ve just about made it to the weekend. Give yourself another round of applause. Similar to those Olympic swimmers, it’s important to immediately get set before plunging headfirst into the weekend. Get waist-deep in comedy, Scottish and city festivals, historical walkabouts, look at the sky to count crows or rob your friend Thomas. You can also tune into nature, hang out with your dog and roll around in the green grass. Just be safe.
