I'm not yet a local, but I do have a bank account and an account with Scottish power (so I can have electricity and heat and such). Ah! the minutiae of foreign student life. If nothing else, it will give me some more appreciation of what my foreign students go through.
The city appears to be slowly returning to normal... about 10% of the foot traffic from Fringe, and I'm beginning to see the buildings behind the hoardings and the truss-work.
Tomorrow is a big day for me. I will (probably) get my student card so I can use the library and go into buildings and meet people. For now, however it is a bit of boredom... maybe I will go get a few more things for the flat...
...like a coffee press...and some coffee.
