That awkward moment when you realized you haven't posted on your blog in over a week...and freak out. And then that hilarious moment when you're in Holland and make a type and spell week wrong (ie weed)
So thinking way back to Scotland:
On Friday, Granny, Margaret, Andrew and I went into town and walked along
the main street. We went into an art gallery as well, and saw lots of unique
pieces. We met up with Helen at the Dome for lunch, and after lunch Andrew left
us to go to an appointment, and the 4 girls went to the cinema to see the
Descendants. George Clooney disappointed me a bit in this one, to be honest.
After the cinema we just went home and had a quiet evening.
On Saturday, Margaret, Granny and I went into Curves, and tried to have a
little workout. However, since I've never done the Curves circuit, I wasn't
allowed to participate. I was very disappointed. For lunch, Granny and I went
to visit her brother-in-law and his wife, Hamish and Jean. We spent just about
all afternoon there, and when we came home it was time for me to start prepping
for a big night out on the town. Helen came round and we had Chinese for tea,
and then, all dolled up, we left and went to her friend's house to have a few
drinks before we went out. When we went out we went to 3 different pubs. In one
of them we met a few German boys who were very nice. The last one we went to
was called the Dropkick Murphy's, which made me wonder whether it was named
after the band or the band was named after it, or if it was just a coincidence.
However, they had a great band playing, and although a very late night, it was
a lot of fun.
On Sunday, a little hung over, I went for a 2 hour walk with Granny,
Margaret and Andrew out to a little village called Cramond. Skyped with the
'rents when we came home, which was good. For tea, the four of us, along with
Helen, went over to Nicola's. When I was 5, I was the flower girl for Nicola's
wedding :) It was really good to see Nicola and Jim (her husband) again, seeing
as the last time I saw them was about 5 years ago.
On Monday, Granny and I went to the shopping centre nearest Margaret and Andrew's house, and walked around there, looked at all the shops, and each bought a book, but that's it. Monday was a very quiet day.
On Tuesday, Margaret went back to work, and Andrew went to play golf, so Granny and I had the house to ourselves in order to pack up to catch our flight back to London that afternoon. It was a change of plans, I had originally anticipated flying straight from Edinburgh to Amsterdam, but soon found out it was a much better and cheaper option to fly out of London.
On Wednesday, it was a rainy day, and so we had a very lazy day, reading and watching the tele. However, Alison, Hilary Collins and Carole Casey came over for dinner, we had Chinese. I don't usually eat Chinese at home and already since I've been away I've eaten it 3 times!
On Thursday, Denis drove us down to Portsmouth. It was the most beautiful day by the sea, it ended up going up to 17 degrees! It was insane for a February day. We went up the Spinnaker tower, and walked through all the shops, and had lunch by the sea. It was an awesome day, but an early night to bed.
Today is Friday, and we had a very early start, getting out of bed at 5am. Yuck. I had to catch an 8:10am flight to Amsterdam, while Granny had a 9:30am flight to Toronto. It was a sad farewell, at least with Granny with me I had a little bit of a comfort zone. Now I'm out on my own, while I'm staying with family, but family I've never met before, so it's interesting, but a little scary as well. Oh boy.
