Well, it's been a quiet time since I last blogged - not much news to report at all in fact. Going back to work was a struggle but my first week back was only 2 days then the following week I spent 2 days up North doing monitoring visits so that also helped to break the week up.
On Saturday Ross and I decided to stay in at night to save some money. However we did still manage an afternoon showing of I am Legend at the Imax which was GREAT! The screen and the sound was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
On Sunday I drove my hire car up North and stayed in Golspie at my brothers with Carrie and Jeremy. I had a fish supper which I haven't had in years - it was so good!
In between meetings on Monday I managed a walk up the burn with my wee nephew Xander who is at a hilarious age! Here is a picture of us swimming recently -
At night we had some delicious Cockburns haggis - definitely the best in the country. Thankfully my mum left my hire car at the bottom of the hill that night because Tuesday was a really icy day. I slipped and slid my way down the hill on foot almost falling about a dozen times but made it in one piece. My dad came with me and he was just as bad although at least it took his mind off his sore tooth which was so badly infected his whole face was swollen and twisted - ouch. I headed straight back down the road with Carrie and Jeremy after my meetings and as I was determined to not have to put more petrol in the hire car I drove it on reserve tank all the way from Stirling! That night we caught up with Donna and Neil and the 6 of us had a lovely meal in Esca in Merchant City before a couple of drinks in Citation. I had to drag Ross and Jeremy off the Wii so that we could go to bed - particularly because I had to get up at 6am to drive them to the airport. Luckily there were no tearful goodbyes because we will be seeing them in exactly 7 weeks when we fly over!!
This weekend was another quiet one. Still no news on the house but we believe that we are not the highest bidder so have resigned ourselves to the fact that it's gone and we need to start looking again. On Saturday Ross and I walked into town and had a bite to eat in McSorleys which was great because a Ragtime jazz and blues band now play there on Saturday afternoons. Today Ross was meant to be going to the football but it's been cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch which is a shame because I was planning some girly time going to see the Kylie Exhibition at Kelvingrove.
I also took the opportunity to book some theatre/concert tickets this week including Wizard of Oz at the Kings, RSNO at the Royal Concert Hall, Julie Fowlis at the ABC and 42nd Street at Eastwood Theatre. In case you didn't know I am addicted to buying concert and theatre tickets!
