I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy soaking in a hot tub in the Highlands and generally not doing very much.
Time to get back to it though, so in an attempt to brighten my own day I decided I should write something. Yesterday I was looking at Art short courses. I should have done Art when I left school but I didn't. I am going to change that now. I need to find £295 before October so that I can enrol and go to Art School on a Saturday morning to create a portfolio. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the portfolio yet but I've always wanted one so maybe this will put me in the right direction.
I was gifted some mini Lindt easter eggs this morning. So far I've eaten three and they just won't stop calling my name!
This evening I have a Quiz Night to attend in order to raise funds for a local charity. We have managed to sell quite a few tickets so hopefully it will be a good turn out.
I have nothing interesting to say today so I'm going to leave it at that!
Oh, I did however have my first NLP session at the weekend to help me get over my fear of my dodgy knee. I'll let you know how that pans out - so far tapping on my good knee seems to be helping!

Jesus Sandals
I have a dilemma.
I want to buy nice, pretty shoes but I have to wear Orthotics which means I can only wear something which is closed at the back and has a strap to keep the shoe on my foot.
The dilemma is that I didn't wear Orthotics until last year and therefore CAN actually wear said nice, pretty shoes but this will no doubt screw up my alignment. I know this because I wore flip flops for a whole weekend and managed to twist my knee getting in the car.
I CANNOT for the life of me find attractive shoes that fit the bill!! I could become a shoemaker but presumably it would take some time to master that particular craft. I could design some shoes and have someone make them but I'm pretty sure that will cost the earth.
What's a girl to do, I ask you?
I love shoes and now I can't wear them I want them all the more! I should in theory love my knee more as it actually keeps me upright (when its not dislocating itself) but knees are not really very attractive things, are they?
On the plus side, I am having Lasagne and garlic bread for supper - WOOOOOO!

I Hate Mondays (In whatever form, I know it is actually Tuesday)
I need some motivation. Lots of it.
I climbed a mountain on Friday but today I can't even be bothered walking to the shop. Its ridiculous.
The mountain was good though - 3,789feet under my belt! I almost couldn't make it out of the car and into the house my legs seized up so badly but it was worth it, even if I did burn my lips in the sun!

Anyway, I suppose I should get on and do some work - roll on the weekend!

Seagulls and Sirens
Tomorrow I will be getting up very early to enjoy the sounds of my glorious city...
I will be weight training at 7am followed by a breakfast en route to Lochnagar where I will conquer my first Munro (or Marilyn according to Wikipedia!)
At the moment though, all I can think about is what to pack for lunch and how much I'm going to enjoy the Fish & Chips (or Steak Pie, I haven't quite decided) and pint of Guinness on the way home!
Tonight is going to be BUSY with training and getting organised for mountain climbing!
Wish me luck!

Refrigerated Mice
Hello internet.
I'm not feeling very inspired today.
Last night we realised Romi (my cat) had brought home a mouse the night before and it had been setting up home behind the fridge. It was only when Neil pointed out that Romi was very intrigued by said fridge that we came across the tiny furry thing that had set up home inside the motor of it! Needless to say, it had to be removed. It was sucked out by the hoover (not my idea!) - I am still horrified but you will be pleased to know that removing mice from fridges with a hoover works a treat and the mouse was unscathed, albeit a bit dizzy from whizzing round the bagless vacuum! It scuttled to the nearest bush and then Romi stalked the bush for the rest of the night.
I just had more potato salad for lunch. It was awesome. I added some runner beans today for a bit of crunch. This is not supposed to be a food diary. I will try to refrain from telling you what I am eating...but I do REALLY like food.
Tonight, I am hoping to do some JKD (Jeet Kune Do) and with a bit of luck it will remove the apathy I am feeling for the day as a whole and give me the kick up the bum I need.
To let you understand, I have just completed 6 years of 'self-study' in order to qualify to do a job I'm not sure I want to do for the rest of my life. (That's a whole other, very boring and whiney post in itself) I have gone from stressed to super stressed to 'oh my god I will kill the next f***ing person that looks at me' to NOTHING. Yes, nothing. I now have all this free time and I'm too exhausted to use it productively. It's ridiculous. This time last year I was working 9 - 5, studying in the evenings and training 6 days out of 7. I have no idea how I fitted it all in!
That was a bit of a rant. Oops.
Anyhoo, I think I'm all out of things to say. I'm going to have some carrot and orange soup and think about doing something productive.
Have a good day y'all!

Potato Salad (...and Frank Bruno)
I freaking love the stuff. Actually, I only like my version because it is super tasty and creamy. Today's post will therefore be my (Mum's) recipe:
New potatos (500g or so)
Boiled eggs (2 per 500g potato, although I kind of do it by eye as a rough proportion of the potatos - I don't like following orders)
Spring Onions/Chives (depends how oniony you like it) lets say 4 spring onions or bundle of chives
Mayo (2 huge spoons per amount of eggs or as much as you like)
Salt and Pepper (for seasoning purposes)
Voila!
Eat it and have a hearty chuckle...d'ya know wot I mean 'Arry?
p.s. Is it potatos or potatoes? I can never decide and now that I've analysed it for so long neither or them look right!
