And so the days go by...

I've been a slow starter to a very fast paced week. Trying to find my rhythm, work myself up to a jog and hope to be sprinting by Friday. Whom I kidding? Have you seen me run? It is a very funny sight.

I'm thinking of lobbying for more hours in a day. I just don't have enough time to get all the things I want to do done. Somehow the relaxing, fun stuff seems to fall by the wayside. When did I slip back into these shackles? I'm in Scotland and I want FREEDOM! Freedom I say!
Things are happening. Things are moving along. Sometimes I just want to lie down.
Speaking of which have you played The Lying Down game yet? It is taking hold of the UK in a most bizarre way. Well, I know it is happening here in the Burgh and I've seen it on GMTV.
'What do you do?' you ask from the back row. A valid question. One must know the rules before one can play such a game.
The rules are rather simple: Lie face down, hands to your side, legs straight and toes pointing to the floor- as if your standing up to attention. The more weird and random place you are lying down in or on the better.
The point. Does there have to be one?

This is my friend Dave. A master at the game.



Go on, Lie Down!

Quietly, quietly we wake to the sun...

Almost Midday and I'm only starting to resemble a human being. Going to bed at 3:30am in the morning might have something to do with that. Living like a 21 year old isn't as easy it used to be. I need a greasy spoon and a chilled vibe today. As fate would have it the one day I wish it was raining the sun has decided to shine. So an adventure into Edinburgh centre is planned. It must be done. Vitamin D should be good for the soul.

Greasy spoon time.

I'm inspired!

I'm feeling so alive! So ready to create. Mentally I'm bouncing off walls! My kitchen wall is now my Idea wall and is going to drive a certain man in my life mad. Once its covered in the brainstorming post-its that is! Multi-Coloured ones! I may even post a picture when it's in full steam so you can all sympathise with him.

I'm also really tired. But my head is in overdrive so even when I sleep it's filled with bizarre dreams that get my mind ticking from the moment I wake.
Things are brewing in my writing life that maybe, just maybe, could let me live a bit of a dream of mine. Too soon to say more but I'm inspired.
Next!

My Niece knows how to move it, move it!

Just had to share this video of my niece Yasmin (and god-daughter I must add) busting her moves at the Bastille Day celebrations yesterday. I might borrow the bum wiggle next time I find myself on the dance floor.
Clearly didn't get this talent from my side of the family. Must be from her Mom's side - though my I-like-to-dance-like-Johnny-Clegg-and-clap-in-time-to-the-music-Dad might protest. Add the bum wiggle next time Dad and you'll get my vote.

I'm getting old! I need a Hobble stick!

I never thought I'd use those words but the way I feel this morning I can only put the blame on age. I feel like an old woman. Hobbled out of bed down the passage to the bathroom. Hobbled to the kitchen to make tea. Hobbled to the lounge. Damn this back pain. I've made it to the chair in the lounge now and I fear I may never be able to stand up again. Thank goodness I type without looking at the keys - moving my head to look at the keyboard hurts! I'm hobble typing.
And today is housework day! Well, secretly I'm not too gutted about that. If only I could get away with not helping. I'm going to have to take some drugs and power on like a good woman though. The Guilt will get me! I'm going to try hobble back to the kitchen now. Wish me happy hobbling. We all become hobblers one day!

6 days of Sunshine!

So I'm back. If you've been missing me hold on to your socks because I'm back in the Burgh. Back to reality. Blah!
We just spent 6 relaxing, gloriously hot days in wonderfully Spanish Seville. Yes, those of you who know me I did indeed say gloriously hot. 2 1/2 years of more cold than hot. More keeping warm than trying to get cool. I'm a changed woman. I now crave the sun. As long as I'm covered in sunscreen, have an airconditioner, cold showers and swimming pools. Those are my conditions.

I'm still getting back into the swing of things so I'm keeping this one short but will post some more on the weekend with maybe a picture or two of the sun. Most especially for the Scots who rarely see it.
