Piano Walking

Yesterday I celebrated moving out of the flat, with new better pastures (properties) ahead..

We snuck into McDaniels, the yellow Chesterfield couches have appealed to me on many a passing, so I was happy to finally step inside and take a seat!

Dan got a job, so we took the opportunity to celebrate in an empty flat!

Which meant I was cleaning the kitchen at 6am in the morning...

Today we carried the piano from my old house to Kirsty's new one. A five minute walk, add on a piano, equals an hour and a half walk!

Now I'm out of the house and onto the Blues Bonanza Festival that starts tonight and is on this weekend, see you out there!

Going out all the time; photo-time

Moving all my stuff to Dan's today, hope we find a flat soon!

Here are some photos from Tuesday's outing with a Scottish level of drinking:

At the union: Mr Hardie!

Rhuaridh and myself!

Arrival of Paul #1

Post-union, chillin' at Euan's

Walk home!

Hope that satiated at least one part of your tongue's taste-buds!

Primavera Memories

It's not that I don't want to blog, but I'd rather maximise time on love and banter!

This summer holiday truly feels like a holiday from a childhood but with "grown-up activities" such as drinking and cooking your own potatoes.

Here's a photo of me from Spanish Elle's Street Style from Primavera Sound (end of May)

Practically the only decent photo I have from this festival, as my camera was dead at the time:

if you want to see the full image (instead of a tiny tiny miniature version)

Aberdeen & Inverness

Wednesday's Aberdeen

After having been stuck on a train for 2.5 hours on a ride that should be 1 hour, it was nice to see cute garden gnomes and Victoria Park

Lounger Dave

On our way to Dave's for pre-drinks, river-pose

Trashy Blonde

Then we went to two clubs, one trendy, another called Origin, they looked the same to me!

Thursday

After a breif night's sleep, we went to a closed funfair...

but an open arcade, played a 2 pence game for an hour...

Minty

Then I said tata to Dan and hello to Inverness!

The river, had dinner at The Kitchen on the other side

The den

Keep going! onto another bar!

Hootamany's

Rock n' roll!

Until we got kicked out and had to walk home!

Great to discover Scotland when everything's tiny,

no distances to travel, but new places to see!

Mini Vacation

Off to Aberdeen with Best Dan!

Here we are a month ago drinking Lanson at Annuka's party

Catching Up in Dundee

The Weekend Update:

Friday

Nina (but unfortunately not Karma) came to visit me on Friday, the day I flew back to Scotland

We had lunch at Dukes and then scurried around town to find good speakers, booze and food for the party! Ended up with 30W surround speakers for £20 (!!) and tequila, rum and brew dog:
