Into June already

So yes, I know it's been ages since I last wrote but my life has been unbelievably busy. I am quite pleased though that a few people have told me I'm slacking - it must mean that people still read my blog ;o)
My new job has been the reason for for the non blogging recently. It's been a varied start to my new role in management - challenging and exciting one day then very stressful and knackering the next. But I have kept up my social activities which counteracts the rubbishness of work (although doesn't give me much respite!).
Still no news on our car getting fixed which is fine as I am enjoying our hire car very much. My neck is almost back to normal now following a few neck massages at my gym. I'm back to my exercise (gym, circuits, swiss ball) but not managed a spin class yet as I want my neck to fully recover first.
Also nothing to update on the house front although we are planning putting our flat on the market in the next few weeks just to see if it gets much interest.
I've had a few fun nights out in the last month including a planned subway crawl (clockwork orange as it's known) which didn't get any further than The Social in town (oops!), a leaving do in Babbity Bowsters, dinner in El Sabor with my friend Rachael, lunch with Ross's folks at the Mussel Inn, our first drink in the Star Bar(!), drinks with pals in McSorleys and a catch up in the Merchant City with our newly engaged pals Isla and Zain who are back from their travels round the world. During this time Ross has also been to Greece and Cologne.
I've also managed a few gigs, films and concerts this month including Amy Macdonald at the Carling Academy who was very good, Dancing Queen at the Kings with my pal Clare and Sex and the City with 9 of the girls which was a hoot - AND I was sat next to and ended up chatting away to the one and only Alan Cumming at the cinema - aaaaahhhh, I love him!!
In late May my sister and I had our auditions for Theatre South Productions and we were both delighted to get in! Not only that, but I have to sing a solo song (another aaaahhhhhh!) so I better get practicing! I'll be singing 'You Must Love Me' from Evita as well as some other chorus parts from musicals such as Phantom, Sunset Boulevard, West Side Story, Wicked, Rent, Mamma Mia, Blood Brothers, Chicago, We Will Rock You, Hairspray, Les Mis, Miss Saigon and Moulin Rouge. The show will be 1-4 October at Eastwood Theatre and will benefit 3 cancer charities in Glasgow.
Finally, we had a brilliant weekend up North last weekend. It was my friend Angela's wedding in Dingwall which was lovely. I nearly set her off crying as she walked into the church because I was welling up when Highland Cathedral started to play, as that's what I walked down the aisle to! The rest of the weekend was spent with family - walking the Cat's Back and Fyrish, playing on Golspie Beach and having a delicious lunch at Foulis Ferry before driving back down the road with the roof off - bliss!
Happy birthday to Katie and Steph and sorry we missed your night out - after our hectic weekends we only made it til 8pm on your birthday and passed out like lightweights! xx
