Simple Math

So it’s been nearly a week since my last post, but I’ve been busy back at the BBC properly for the first time since I took ill a couple of months ago. Literally can’t believe how close it is until the end of the year… and how much stuff I plan to cram in before 2011 is out! I’m my own worst nightmare, but I love it really. Very much enjoying the red cups at Starbucks, and started planning my christmas pressie buying list, and christmas card list too. Need to stop scribbling and start doing! My next few posts are therefore full of kinda backdated pictures as usual, but hope you like none the less 🙂 Here’s some from my long weekend away with friends in Kilfinan a couple of weeks ago:

As I mentioned on my tumblr already, the 4 days consisted of amazing company, no phone signal, nice weather, comfort food, lots of banter, making new friends, just enough alcohol, jacuzzi, sauna, board games, old movies, pj’s, games room, trampoline, long walks, log fire, shooting stars, and a gorgeous room with four poster bed to kip in at the end of each night. Just what I needed 🙂 You can see a wee video from the journey home, along with a few other clips of bits and bobs I’ve been upto lately on my youtube. Just been filming off my macbook and phone, but I’m quite keen to get into it again and would love to invest in a little flip HD.

Have any of you entered the Papp A Postcard competition yet? It closes on 28th november on the railcard facebook page, and I know how many of you bloggers have some wonderful pictures that could make the perfect postcard – so if you have a few minutes head over and get entering 🙂 I’ve used my 16-25 railcard to book for London and Bristol in december, and a few of you guessed right in the last post – next weekend I’m going to be taking a trip to Brighton ♥ Heading down for the weekend with Katrina, we’re both so excited and want to cram as much in as possible while were there. Was wondering if anyone had stayed over there before and have any decent b&b or hotel suggestions? Also, places to go, things to see and do while we’re down there? It’s a flying visit, and we don’t want to miss out on the best while we’re there so please fire away with hint.

Over the next week or so I’ve still got to blog about the PURE Spa blogger event in Edinburgh, my lovely new Lomo Diana Mini camera I received especially to take some snaps in Brighton next weekend, and my wonderful paper portrait that arrived last week in the mail from Cameron + Whitney all the way from the U.S.A. I spent £40 at the post office this morning sending parcels out to all my swap buddies. So if you’re expecting a little something from me, it’s on the way! Tonight I’m going to get into my jammies, put some music on and do some baking for the boys in work and a special someone that’s coming over to stay with me tomorrow night. Anyone got any particular favourite cake recipe’s at this time of year? I’m thinking about Nutella Cupcakes. I fully intend to be a complete grubber when I come to London for the week. Hummingbird Bakery, Laduree and Krispy Kreme all being on my hit list! I also want to go for some bloody good sushi, get my nails WAH’d and squeeze in a night to see Wicked for the 3rd time (looooser) Again, I’ll need to get your advice closer to the time of things to see and do in the evenings while I’m in the big smoke. I’m staying with my uncle who has just moved there, as he’s working at The National Theatre… and I’m not totally sure if he’s going to have many girly/appropriate/christmassy suggestions for me :p
