Edinburgh Castle
This is what I get to see everyday! Helloooo poppets!! Yes it is me, still alive and kickin about the place. It’s Sunny Sunday here 2:48pm and I,ve only been awake for 2 hours. Love it!! I think it’s pretty much our first weekend here where we have had no plans and just been able to do what we want, like being lazy!! The weather here over the last week and a bit has been in one word CRAP! Rain, rain, rain and rain…. Oh and lets not forget the wind, it’s cerazy!! But alas, today the rain has finally stopped and the sun has decided to make an appearance. It’s been a long time since I have had to carry an umbrella everywhere, wouldn’t it be good if I could just push a few major rain clouds Melbourne’s way!!
Since my last entry, apart from working, last weekend we headed over for an easy weekend with my family. Was good to see them all again. Saturday night we went out for dinner to ‘Wok n Spice’, there seems to be buffets everywhere here. It was nice though and I did find it very amusing that if you were less than 2’6” in height you ate for
My new man....
HOT!! Can I bring him home dad? free and if you were less than 4’6” in height you ate half-price. I was waiting for them to get the measuring tape out - Kate is a bit of a short ass. This was all very amusing and then to make matters worst a midget walked in and sat right behind me. Enough said!! After dinner we went to meet up with my cousin who was at an 18th b’day party - wow did that bring back memories! I was well behaved though, I know you’ll all find that hard to believe but it’s true I tell you!! Besides I think Kirsty did enough drinking for the 3 of us and I was quite glad I didn’t drink too much when I saw what state she was in when she woke me up at 3am - thanks Kirsty xox
Sunday morning was cooked brekky and webcam time! Mother’s Day back home - spent 3 hours on the webcam to my family, who seem to think its up to me to entertain them! Was nice to see them all - definitely helps with the homesickness. Then it was some shopping and roast dinner - yum! Back to work Monday

Has god shun upon our one and only Katie? - grrrrr!!
Wednesday night Kate and I went to a gig to see ‘Idlewild’ apparently who are quite big here in Scotland. Kate got free tickets from someone at her work so that was fun - even know we’d never heard of them before but they actually were quite good!! Also gave us a chance to see the other side of town at night (and it was raining) - Edinburgh city is split into 2 - OLD town one side of the castle and NEW town (the part we live in). The other side is very cool - much more character and a little like Gotham city at night and especially when its raining - just like I was in Batman the movie - LOL %-)
That brings us to this weekend. Yesterday slept in til 12, was great, and then we headed over to OLD town to do some more exploring, visited St.Gile’s Cathedral on the Royal Mile - absolutely beautiful, whilst dodging the rain and confessed all of our sins. Last night we went and saw Spiderman 3 - Gold Class - Melbourne Gold Class is way better! Movie was good, but not as good as

Check it out - caption on bottom 1&2 I,m afraid. Today is another lazy day, and it has been VERY nice just to relax. Trying to catch up on my sleep before our VERY early visit Thursday morning over to Dublin - very exciting! Missed my dad’s 50th b’day party dinner last night so was thinking of home a little - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD for Tuesday, hope you have a good one!!
Well, other than all that terribly exciting news, I know, I know, I,ve had you all gripping onto the side of your seat. And a big let down, no celebrity spottings this week. And even sadder, we’re now paying rent %-( everything is so bloody expensive over here, oh and that’s the other thing, I never realized how much I actually say bloody until I came over here. Trying not to let our fellow aussie ‘Sydneysider’ slang get into our bloodstream - ‘Random’ seems to be their favourite word!
Anyhoo, as bugs would say - THAT’s ALL FOLKS!!
Oh crap - just saw the footy results - I was having a good Sunday!
Hope everyone is doing flabulously xoxoxoxox
