Working hard but playing a bit too!

Well I've been quiet because I've been working like a dog the past few weeks. Work really is busy and stressful at the moment as I am still working with a team of 2 when I should have 6. Mind you, the 2 I have are fantastic so I probably shouldn't complain - and I have now recruited two more so things should be on the up very soon. Plus, it doesn't help that everyone is talking about their holidays when Ross and I had ours in March!Anyway, what fun things have I been up to? (I'm of the opinion that if I'm working so hard during the week I am going to blooming well enjoy myself at the weekend!). Of course I have been up North to see my new wee nephew who is a real cutie - I almost became maternal for a second :o) It was also Iona's hen night the same weekend so we travelled in style and got a limo to Inverness, followed by my favourite pasta in No 27, a few pubs and lots of dancing in Mr G's!! (Although it's not called Mr G's anymore, it has some new cheesy name which I can't remember!). It was a great girlie night - everyone made a big effort to dress up ganster style - and I'm really looking forward to her wedding in August.

Last weekend we went to a wine and cheese party at our friends Isla and Zain's in the West End. It was a great idea for a party as we had to taste and score all the wines - mind you their house probably smelt pretty bad the next day!

Last Sunday Ross, Donna and I headed to the BBC to watch the filming of the new Lottery show - This Time Tomorrow. Ross only went because Tess Daly was presenting it! It was really good to see how it worked behind the cameras - watch out for us in the audience when it is screened on Sat 16th August.

Last night we went to our friends David and Elaine's for dinner. We got to see their lovely daughter Sophie, played Jenga, and had a delcious beetroot soup, proper stew and a lovely fruit crumble - we definitely got our 5 a day! Pity I drunk so much wine alongside it - my head hurts proper today!

I've also had a few nice meals out including proper pub grub at Clockwork, Thai food at the Thai Orchid and Bar Soba, Cockburns Haggis and best of all, Ross's home cooked Chateaux Briande!

Rehearsals have been going well - we are now learning a dance to Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray which is really fast and a total workout!

Happy birthday to my friends Lorna and Clare! x
