Polly's World: September 2013

My Bad

Hey all,

I'm sorry for being soo useless with the updating over the last few weeks. There's no legitimate excuse like I had no internet access or anything like that, I've actually just been this slack. So now I'm all up to date again with having uploaded 27 posts not including this one. I promise going forward I won't be this bad again.

Thanks :)

Day 145: Parking

Came across this on my way to the gym today. It's an anti drink driving add. The red paint is a pint glass with don't end up parking here written underneath it. I like the concept.

Day 144: Certificate

Woohoo check me out passed the exam I had to sit and now have a Scottish Qualification to show for it. I find it amusing how angry the owls in the logo look.

Day 143: The Sunflower

Poor sunflower missing some seeds, look what I did to it the other night while drunk.

Day 142: Space Cats

OMG! Check out these tights my friend has found while in the States. They're actually soo terrible that I think I want them and I don't even wear tights.

Day 141: Bruise

Oops drank too much last night and came home with this bruise on the side of my knee. Apparently at 03:30am I decided that it'd be a great idea to stop and touch the sunflowers down the street. I've decided now that perhaps it wasn't such a great idea considering I managed to walk into the fence.

Day 140: Karma Sutra

No I'm not talking sex. This is the restaurant we have our work dinner at tonight. I've been before, it's good Indian food so I'm quite looking forward to it.

Day 139: Harriet's Nails

This is how my friend painted her nails today. She sent me the photo because they apparently reminder her of me. I can't imagine why, It's not like leopard print is one of my favourite designs or that red is both of our favourite colours, lol. On a serious note they do actually represent me rather well, I wish these were my nails.

Day 138: QI

I think I've found a new favourite TV program. I can't get enough of QI and these guys at the moment.

Day 137: Next Destination

I've decided on my next holiday destination; Prague! Here's just sample of all the amazing things I'll get see and experience. I think I'll have to practice my beer appreciation before I go. I'm normally not a beer drinker but from what I understand Prague's quite big on beer.

Day 136: Jealous

I'm a bit jealous, one of my best friends is on a month long trip around the States.

Day 135: Already?

Apparently September is now the appropriate time to start with Christmas preparations. I swear it gets earlier and earlier each year.

Day 134: Peter

Meet my new friend Peter Puffin. I think Puffins might have to be my favourite bird, even though I've not actually seen one in real life but they just look so crazy when they fly almost like it's unnatural for them.

Just so you know I didn't name the Puffin he came with the name Peter.

Day 133: Ice Blocks

Eatable boats anyone?

This is much fancier than the ice block trays we had as kids.

Day 132: Beach Pool

During low tide at North Berwick you can still swim close to shore in their "pool". There was a pool like this at the Rocky Shore near where I grew up so brought back a few memories of exploring the rock pools and my younger cousin being bitten by a crab, lol.

Day 131: North Berwick

North Berwick is beautiful and so was my walk along Yellowcraigs Beach this afternoon. Oh and my spa treatment this morning, bliss.

Day 130: Cottage

This amazing wee cottage is my home for the next two nights. I've finally escaped Edinburgh and headed to North Berwick for the weekend, can't wait for my top to toe spa treatment tomorrow.

Day 129: Cafe Royal

My cousin who I'd not seen for a few years and her boyfriend are on their Big OE at the moment and were in Edinburgh for a couple of days so we managed to meet up for lunch, which was great. We sat and talked for hours in the fabulous Cafe Royal. I've only heard good things about it before and I now understand why, our lunch was fantastic, lovely fresh seafood.
