I had a busy, busy week, spending the start of the week with Ben's family, then heading on a whistle stop visit to London for the UK Conference for Science Journalists, before flying back to Aberdeen to start packing things up.
The coming week is just as busy, I'm clocking in as many hours as I can at the museum before I leave, then I'm back in London on Thursday night for an awards ceremony. I can't wait for next weekend when I'll be able sit still for a while. Are you really busy at the moment, or are you enjoying a bit of down time?
Monday - Looking for Harry at Durham Cathedral.
Tuesday - Inadvertently continuing to look for Harry...
Wednesday - My first conference!
Thursday - Trying to clean this guy - he's meant to look like this but the poor thing has been gathering dust for goodness knows how long.
Friday - Mmm pudding!
Saturday - Starting to pack my flat up, and I realise that I have a recipe book shaped problem.
Sunday - I went to Sainsbury's for eggs and came back with a really cute rucksack for my summer holiday! I've been searching for the right one for ages, and I'm so pleased I found the perfect one at such a good price!
You havev such a great collection of cookbooks! Is the Wagamamas one any good?

I like the Wagamamas cookbook actually! Lots of variety. The only thing to note is that a lot of the ingredients aren't what you'd happen to have in the cupboard (or aren't in mine anyway...), so you have to plan ahead if you want to cook from it.
DeleteI hope your conference went well and you got on okay with all the tweeting!
ReplyDeleteI've started to notice I'm getting busier as summer sets in: my boyfriend was performing at a literary festival in Dunbar this weekend so we were through there, then next week I have dinner with friends on Tuesday, my boyfriend's little sister's graduation dinner on Wednesday, Edinburgh Zoo Lates on Friday and an open air cinema viewing of Sunshine on Leith on Saturday! I can't complain though - all good things :)

p.s. I don't think you can ever have too many cookbooks ;)
I did get on okay thank you! Only a few minor meltdowns... Sounds very busy, but also very pleasantly busy - I know it's cheesy but I really loved Sunshine on Leith when I saw it.
Deletehaha at the tower of cookbooks - intrigued about the Sorted one, i love their videos! i hope you have some relaxing time next weekend, it's always good to be busy but very important to recharge :) x
ReplyDeleteThe Sorted one is great, it really helped me hit the ground running when I first left home.
DeleteSounds like a busy couple of weeks packing everything up is never any fun, you have a good selection of cookery books though. Hope you enjoy the event in London. Great rucksack purchase Lucy x
ReplyDeleteI am soooo bored of packing already and I don't actually even move for a couple of weeks, I'm just trying to get ahead of the game!
DeleteI had to say goodbye to many cookbooks when I moved from France to England. My collection was way too big and most of the books I didn't even use. But I still have a cookbook wishlist the size of a mountain. :)
