Peach, Plum, Pear.

The title of this post is my favourite Joanna Newsom song. They used another one of her songs in a rather scary scene in that film The Strangers. Now I can’t listen to it without feeling remotely terrified 🙁 Anyways, I have had fun uncovering the depths of my I-tunes this week, updating playlists for my Ipod now that my train journey into town has doubled in length since we moved house. I have also been making a mix cd for the lovely Zoe. Here’s what else has been making me smile this week:

Frozen strawberry daquiris with Jenn at lunch time on Saturday. It was so lovely eating and drinking outside in the nice weather.

Our starter at Luisa’s Come Dine With Me night on Saturday. Ok, I lie, its not so much a come dine with me in the sense that none of us will be cooking for her in return any time soon, haha. But maybe we should 🙂

Some flowers I got for our wonderful hostess. She did a great job cooking for me, Joanne, and Gary. Gary was in my year at uni, and Joanne and Luisa are in the year below (and doing very well might I add… we better watch our backs when they graduate!)

Me, having a food coma on her couch after dinner. Skinny belt undone and everything – I’m a classy burd.

Luisa’s beautiful flat in the centre of Glasgow. The weather was stunning at the weekend and the blanket at her window was the perfect people watching spot. Luisa is italian and her cooking was seriously epic. She made us bruschetta, lasagne, and home made oreo brownies and rocky road for desert. Teamed up with some Ben and Jerrys cookie dough ice cream, I was struggling afterwards as you can see! So worth it though.

Been enjoying my Lucky Charms every morning this week. Probably not the healthiest breakfast around… but it has been making me smile. Or maybe that’s just the sugar overload?

Some successful (finally) and very yummy chocolate macaroons I made with Leah. My first attempt failed miserably, so joining forces with my partner in crime when it comes to baking was definately a good idea. She has so much patience… and I do not 🙂 really need to work on that.

Some new bubble bars I got from Lush during the week. It is so nice having a bath again after only having a shower for 6 months. David is quite the madam and enjoys his Lush bubble bath too 🙂 I have only used half of karma so far (far left) and if you follow me on twitter, you might have seen my twitpic last night of the loveheart shaped pile of bubbles this bubble bar produced! Could not have made it better if I’d tried.

I should really lay out these catch up posts a bit better, but I hope you catch my drift and didn’t loose too much interest on the long scroll down. Today I am heading back into glasgow for a meeting at my old uni – I am a part of the curriculum reform (as a graduate representative) so I think an afternoon of coffee and debates awaits me. Last night I FINALLY went to the Cupcake class my wonderful friend Erin bought me for christmas. If you have been reading my blog for a wee while, you’ll know how much of a cupcake fiend I am. So I will share some pics from that soon. I also managed to buy a new outfit from Topshop for the Scottish Ballet blogger meet up on saturday. I majorly suck at dressing up/shopping for clothes, don’t know what the hell is wrong with me! In return (and to rid me of awful shopping guilt that always follows) I am in the process of selling my life on ebay, and will have a few lovely dresses up for sale on my blog shop at some point later this week, so keep your eyes peeled m’dears.
