They say moving home is one of the most stressful things you do in life.. but everything seems ok for me :) The feeling of having a lot to do is there, but all's going pretty smooth so far. Last night I went to see Iain and we.. (well, I) cooked us a little dinner. We polished off almost 2 full bottles of red and watched my favourite movie; Before Sunset. The movie-snob said it was alright.. you avin a laff Iain??????? Its greeeeat. Anyway, I was sleepy and tipsy by 2am so crashed there and did the walk of shame home in the morning after a bacon roll at 11ish. Poor Iain got papped on his wee couch while I got the bed. Maaaaahaha.

On my way home I took a look around and instantly noticed Edinburgh was so different. Of course!! Yesterday was the last day of the festival so all the foreigners have b*ggared off home. About time!!! You can actually walk along the street without queuing and having flyers shoved into your face. Perfect for my last week :)

Today was a fun day of sunshine and Zoo. To finish off with Sushi. We headed to see a show and then off to the Zoo to catch the Penguin march. so so sooo cute. I love how they waddle and fall forward. After walking around for hours we headed to the sushi bar on Tollcross..

I finished the Alchemist today. I also finished Mary Kings Close. Sob....

Bale De Rua - Edinburgh Fringe Festival

I love this picture. And not only because it was such a cracking show.. but because photography was banned. But me being me needed just one quick snap to add to my iphotodocumented life. I didnt even look and just clicked the cam as quickly and discreetly as possible and shoved it back in my bag. It turned out great though, don't you think? They look perfectly in sync with the nice warm colours.. I loveeee it.

I heart Newton Faulkner

Dont wanna give you up..



Gone in the morning.. I wanna know why..

Wednesday 20th August 2008

I have counted, and well, worked 25 out of 31 days per month, 9 hours at least per day, 6 cafe shifts, 1 photoshoot, 2 festival shows, visited the zoo and Gullane and Linlithgow, met the folks at Woodbankcroft, made 2 thai green curries, hosted a 1 week visit by Nils and Moe (highland tour, whisky distillery, stand comedy show, the advocate, MCK tour, Fiona house party), laughed at Jongleurs, drank 2pints of sex on the beach and BBQ'd with the MKC's til 1am.

Thats pretty muc it for July.

Not quite the trekking I had planned.. but having so much exhausting fun anyway.

As for August :: More festival shows - one amazing Brazilian Dance show called "Bale De Rua", saw Batman on IMAX and had the best curry EVER with my dad and brothers, got caught in the worst Edinburgh rainstorm of the year wearing a tshirt, enjoyed a BBQ in the sunshine at moms, had the walker family over for a fun filled day in edinburgh (shows, MKC tours, luncheon, camera obsecura) and then family Wolstencroft through for a similar day of tourist fun with the addition of the Edinburgh Dungeon - soooooo bad. I also saw mr Newton Faulkner in concert (ammmazing) and attended Mr Thomsons 21st birthday BBQ bashing.

Well... thats the jist of it.

Now im preparing for my move to Aachen, Germany for September 1st. Going for a full year to study there and finish up with work on Saturday. So much to do. Meeh.
