Scotland

I don't know if I have ever mentioned it
but I am moving to Scotland in a few months with my lovely boy.
I was thinking about Scotland a lot today
as I am very very very excited about the whole thing.
I have been to Scotland loads of times and I do love it.
So I began to think
Just to get myself all excited
Because I think it is important to keep excitement alive
what it is that I am looking forward to most.
This is what I came up with.

1. I am really looking forward to getting to know James' family a bit better.


A lot better really I guess considering I know next to nothing about them and they know next to nothing about me!
I have met most of his siblings and they all seem quite lovely so I'm not particularly nervous about being so close.
He also has the most adorable niece and nephews in Glasgow and it will be lovely to get to know them too.

2. Kilts.
I will be really disappointed if I don't see some Kilt action.
It may be dashing kilt action

or bold kilt action

I'm not fussy as long as I see some kilt!


3.
The land of jack daniels ribs and free refills.
Yum!

4. Exploring the highlands!

5. Visiting all the places made famous by my favourite Scotland(ish) movies




6. I'm looking forward to opening the next chapter in the story of Lu and James.

Who knows where this wonderful journey will take us!

    You don't need to leave this country to explore where Braveheart was made! ;)

    Seriously though, sounds so exciting!

Turning 28.

Well. It happened. I turned 28. You know, ignoring a manic depression which lasted all of 20 minutes, I'm pretty ok with it. Rather than shy away from the fact that 30 is just around the corner, I've decided to confront it. Head on. "How?" I hear you ask. Well I have decided to celebrate the final years of being a twenty-something by embarking on a '30 things to do before I'm 30' challenge. I've been working on it for weeks. My friends here in Edinburgh have been really encouraging and I think together we have compiled a pretty mega list. Here we go (in no particular order) 1)Read the BBC top 100 books 2)Bungee jump (I should mention here I'm afraid of heights) 3)Go zorbing 4)Learn a new language 5)Visit the Sistine Chapel 6)Make a quilt (I've always wanted to. I blame Winona Ryder) 7)Visit Tiffani in Utah 8)Parachute Jump with Agata 9)Raise money for charity 10)Do the Great Scottish Run (ugh. The idea pains me.) 11)Sell something

2020

I have started this blog post four times now. I think that is a new record for my procrastination. I didn't do a New Year blog, and my previous versions of this were a look back on 2019. I'll be very honest, I don't want to look back on 2019. I want to put it in a box, and seal it away forever. There were some fabulous moments. Of course there were! I got engaged to the most wonderful man I have ever known. I witnessed the weddings of some of my best friends. Babies were born. There was an abundance of soft play, cuddles and karaoke. For me, 2019 will mostly remind me of being ill. It was a huge part of the year. The worry consumed me for the majority of the latter half. I now know more about hypertension, blood pressure, kidney function and kidney failure than I ever thought necessary. It sucks being ill. It sucks knowing that you have an illness that will never go away. It doesn't feel fair. If I am very honest with myself I went into a little bit of a pit

Life of Lu 7/6/2012

I love Edinburgh. I think you should know. I love it truly. Every day I feel more settled. Every week I feel new friendships grow deeper. I really am content. So content that I sing. Poorly. I should apologise for that. I really like my new job. Sometimes I feel my head may explode with information. Then it digests and I feel capable again. It is nice to use my brain again. It does help that I have wonderful colleagues. They make it easy to love the job. I will be working with them for at least 7 more weeks. Then I finish my training. After that... who knows? Euro 2012 fever has taken over our wee flat. It bores me terribly but the boy loves it, so I pretend. I pretend quite well. I predict Russia to win. He reckons Portugal. I hope I win! I have a new cousin! And one on the way. I wish I could meet them soober than October. Hurry up October! I should mention that we're popping over in October. Pints? Anyone? Lastly, I received an amazing gift at the we
