Tuesday morning

What a girl needs on Tuesday morning, since she doesn't need to get to work on time anymore, is at least not to be forced to spend an hour and a half on the bus to work, good half an hour of it stuck in the bus on North Bridge, it's engine switched off and bus driver not letting anybody out, cause it's a middle of a junction!

Did I tell you how much I hate tramworks? (And all the other road works that happen to take place just now in Edinburgh, all of them being on MY way to work?).

Thanks God, there was no bagpiper playing Scotland the Brave on repeat...

Everyday is a winding road

I actually cannot believe that it's mid-November and I still haven't posted anything this month. Don't be misled, I haven't been busy - on the contrary, I had a week off last week, that I spent mainly lying on my sofa watching Heroes. Didn't plan it really, thought I'd actually do something, like putting some stuff on eBay, doing some cleaning and some early Christmas shopping. Have I done any of these? Nope. Though I have decided on some Christmas gifts, I still need to go and buy them. Some are actually available online, which means I need to log in and buy them.

However, I have been to a hairdresser's and after years of becoming darker and darker blonde I finally became a proper, really dark brown brunette. And I absolutely love it! Although I still have this odd feeling when I look in the mirror and it strikes me that someone strange is looking back.

I also had lunch with my friend from previous workplace and have found out some absolutely unbelievable things about what's happening there and I thank God that I left.

And Marcin took me to a flat warming party at his clients' place on Saturday and it was really nice, but I made a mistake of putting on high heeled boots and it was a kind of standing thing, so by the time we left my feet, my calves and my back were killing me. And then we had to walk home, cause it was too close to home to catch a cab and no bus connection. But I met some lovely people and had really nice time, so it was definitely worth it!

I came back to work to find some issues left outstanding simply resolved themselves while I was away and there are some new issues to take care of, which will at least keep me busy. I have also found that high heels I bought for a fiver on eBay before going on holiday have arrived while I was away and that they are gorgeous and are just a little bit tight - nothing a pair of shoetrees wouldn't fix.

I am wondering if, given that it's third week of November, I should return to my old, Warsaw habits, and buy myself a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau? As I'm lucky enough to have Friday's off till the end of the year (so I don't loose my unused holidays) maybe I should go for two bottles?

PS It turns out this is my 100th post on this blog. To celebrate this I definitely need two bottles!

Aberdeen

We have visited friends in Aberdeen over the weekend and had a glimpse of the Granite City in the rain. A few glimpses of Aberdeen when it stopped raining for a moment below:
