Ach! Bonny Scotland!

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 28 Mar 2008 | Views [252] | Comments [1]

Well i'm attempting to name this article something scottish - but i find my knowledge quite limited there .i.e. my 'scots' vocabulary is kind of limited to kilts, lochs, and haggis.  Anyhow, i spent the easter long weekend in scotland. And quite frankly ... Read more >

Grandma

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 13 Mar 2008 | Views [138] | Comments [2]

My Grandma died yesterday. I found out via text message. Not the best way to find out someone you love has died. I don't blame mum and dad, but distance sucks. I never felt so far away from everyone i loved as i did then. I think i have not been properly ... Read more >

But wait there's more!

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 3 Mar 2008 | Views [215] | Comments [1]

I suppose not all of my trip to Southampton to buy shoes was all misery. I did have a lovely day shopping apart from the continuous yearning i had for lovely shoes. I finally had the time and opportunity to buy myself a nice umbrella. Ridiculously expensive ... Read more >

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 3 Mar 2008 | Views [148] | Comments [2]

Shoes

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 3 Mar 2008 | Views [165]

I went to Southampton on the weekend to buy those sensible shoes that i have been dreading buying for the last week. Southampton is big, grey and dull. But at least is has a few shops actually worth going to. How can i put this nicely.....um...bearable ... Read more >
