My week in pictures #226

(From top left) Sunsets have been great this week - a view from my bedroom window. Spending some quality time with my best pal. A little field trip haul from Mountain Warehouse on Friday. My first homemade cocktail - it was pretty good so I'll be making it again soon. I finished the third season of the flash with tears in my eyes. A walk up the glens on Friday with my boyfriend.

This week has been great even if they weather didn't start off amazing it certainly ended well. We've had the sunniest weekend so I've been outside a lot. On Monday morning my mum insured my to drive the car for the first time since January. Instead of being nervous I was excited to get back behind the wheel. Our first trip was a little one into town and the supermarket - followed by a longer one the next day. 

I've also been trying to catch up on blog work this week - write two posts for this week then two for next week when I'm away on my field trip. This has gone surprisingly well even though I've felt so rushed. On Wednesday I drove to Scotts by myself (it felt so good!) and we had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. 

Thursday was an early start because Scott was getting new windows so the joiner arrived at 9am. After driving back I did very little for the rest of the day - I don't normally get bored but on Thursday I was definitely getting cabin fever. 

There was a little last minute field trip shopping I had to do so I drove to Dundee for the first time on Friday. Driving in a city was easier than I anticipated and I don't think my mum or dad could fault my driving. 

I managed to get everything I needed in mountain warehouse which left mum and I free to browse. We both managed to pick up the books we were looking for in the oxfam shop, I also got American Gods in The Works to read before the TV series. After we had lunch in the DCA before finishing our shopping and driving home.

Saturday I was up early because I was keen to see Scott. As the weather was glorious I pulled out my holiday clothes and we went to our favourite Glen Dye for a walk. Simply the best way to spend a Saturday. In the evening we made a curry and flicked through the rubbish Saturday night TV. I can see why we go to the pub so often... 

It was a slow start on Sunday but once we got outside we walked to Tesco for the food we needed then after a rest in the house we went for a long walk around the beach. We then drove to get ice cream which we couldn't eat fast enough. 

It has been a glorious weekend but now I need to pack, write another blog post and schedule tweets. My bedroom is currently 25° so it isn't making it very easy.
