A little more bite and a little less bark, a little less fight and a little more spark
7 Mar
It’s the return of the Monday sundries post (or should it be the Sunday Sundries? I like that). Ok, this is the renamed Sunday Sundries post. The post where i update you on my weekend, the post where i get my brain into gear before the week starts with a little rambling.
…First up… The return of the UK Girl Bloggers Meet Up!
After the success of the Manchester meet up, the next one will take place in my home town of Edinburgh from the 28th-31st of May. How very exciting. If you fancy coming along, then just follow @GBMEUP on twitter (that’s me!) and send me a DM and i’ll add you to the email list. Come for as long or short as you’d like, we’d love to meet you!
…Secondly… I have a serious TMI for Thursday, and i mean serious – something that i may chicken out of telling folks on this blog and the wider world. It was utterly humiliating, something i really don’t think ill ever get over. AWFUL. JUST FECKING AWFUL.
…Anyways, thirdly, I really want this coat from Hobbs, but i’m not sure i can justify the price. I know a coat is an investment piece and this has all the mod style that i love, plus it would go amazingly with the new purple dress and all the black in my wardrobe. See, i’m trying to talk myself into it.
Yes, me buying a coat really is an important topic for this blog.
…this weekend was actually pretty quiet. I had a few cocktails in Bramble and the Voodoo Rooms and then we tried to go to the new YoSushi on Friday night but it shuts at 8.30. What restaurant shuts at 8.30? Ill have to go back another time as i’ve been craving sushi ever since.
… I made scrummy enchiladas on Saturday night. The chicken was marinated with cumin, cayene pepper, oregano, garlic, chilli, pepper and tomato puree. Heavenly. I also added some spiced beans.
…I’m also really excited about this coming weekend, I’m off to Dumfries and Galloway to spend a weekend in a cottage. Now this sounds twee, but its anything but. Last year was an absolute blast (pics here from last year) although i was really nervous as they are B’s mates (and a little intimidating) but i refuse not to have a good time this year!
…music wise i’m finally off to to see Ocean Colour Scene tomorrow night… i’m also loving the Boy who Trapped the Sun and liking Frightened Rabbit. Plus The Law are supporting OCS tomorrow, so im checking them out too.
So, how was your weekend? Any stories? Should i buy the coat? Any other gigs i should be checking out?
P.s Dont mention the TMI!

Go for the coat! Hobbs stuff lasts forever! (I’m not just saying that cos my sister works there, she has LOADS of stuff from there that has lasted for years. I can’t afford it personally…)
Sooo excited for May! I will be there as long as I can. Yay for holiday weekends!
Hope OCS is good tomorrow after your disappointment over the cancelled gig last month.
My weekend? I didn’t do much. Worked. Drank. Read. Blogged. Apart from work, it was a pretty good weekend.

I echo the others..get the coat and call it and investment piece!
I spent the weekend pretty much being a slob apart from Saturday when i went to visit my friends new house in a gorgeous converted barn in the country. I had major house envy. Other than that it was very quiet and pretty boring. I’m saving my pennies for Edinburgh!

I had a big weekend, actually- my gf and I drove across Pennsylvania to my hometown and hung out with my parents and some old friends, plus we saw Alice in Wonderland (very good). It was a mini-vacation. And now, back to the real life.

Is the password for your blogs always the same…?

Had a blissfull weekend of hungoverness and Oscars mixed with wine, man and way too much crap food. I say get the coat… unless it prevents the paying of rent or eating food
