At a friends flat-warming on Friday, rooms were themed, with a dance room, conversation room, cake room, and camera room - this is the result of out trip to the camera room...
In town on Saturday I bought Ben some winter clothes. The boy is so unequipped for the cold, especially when you consider he's lived in the frozen North for three and a bit years! Then it was ceilidh time. For those of you unfamiliar with the time, a ceilidh is a traditional Gaelic party, where folk music is played. set dances are danced and traditional food is served. When I first moved here I hated them, but now that I know some of the dances I enjoy them a lot. Warning - the light did extremely strange things to my photos!
Sunday was a definite duvet day, that ended with me making my Christmas cake (blog post to follow!)
Monday. Back to real life - lab life. This week I was photographing barnacles I've been keeping - I'm trying to find ways to inhibit their growth so they don't grow on the bottom of boats. It's as dull as it sounds.
Computer problems are about all I can remember of Tuesday really, along with essay marking and meetings. I had to go all the way home because I'd picked up the wrong laptop charger in my rush to leave the house. Although it put me in a pretty bad mood I took the chance to go for a crunch in the autumn leaves.
On Wednesday there was a debate about the cinema, but the weather was so foul I did a bit of baking prep for Halloween and then we ended up crawling under a duvet and watching Homeland. We're halfway through the second series, and are absolutely hooked!
Thursday - Halloween. An average day and we had people round in the evening. We at our body weight in cheese and cake and played skeleton Jenga. We know how to party in this flat!
Friday meant a boring morning in the lab where I was measuring my barnacles from photographs, but a lovely lunch at the international food market and a screening of the Johnny Lee Miller/Benedict Cumberbatch Frankenstein at the local picturehouse.
And what were my wild Friday night plans I hear you asking? I sat in bed editing an ad-pack for the magazine and answering emails. And then I fell asleep half way through writing this post, before I even watched Graham Norton.
What did you get up to this week?
