I wrote that last post yesterday but it wouldn't publish, in case any of you are confused by the date. Sorry I haven't been writing much but without regular access to the internet, it just doesn't become a priority most days. Therefore I am trying to add Keri & Shannon's links so you can have steady reading! These are 2 university friends (Keri was also my partner in crime in Ireland) who have just moved to Edinburough, Scotland for the next undetermined amount of time.

Last night we decided to give our livers a break and went to see Troy. Brad is beautiful but that is the biggest bit of blockbuster cheese! It's entertaining yes, but so many parts that people we laughing out loud at the cheesiness. Anyway, the weirdest part of it all was that the theatre had assigned seats! What? It was only 2/3 full so Greg & I snuck over to the other side so we were in the middle. Of course, as luck would have it, people came in and those were their seats so they made us move! There were loads of other places but I guess everyone follows this rule closely here. So bizarre. We snuck to different seats then and almost got chucked out of them too! Again I was with a bunch of Brits and they found the assigned seating completely normal. I was not prepared. I didn't enjoy. Picking your seat is a big part of the movie-going experience. Don't take that away from me.

Of course we had to stop off and visit Gemma at the Irish pub she works at on the way home (it would be rude not to) but it was an early-ish night (finally!). Tonight we're making a roast dinner for about 10 people which will be sooooooo nice. Thankfully Pete & Kathy were taking me in and giving me a nice home cooked meal for a few weeks, but we all were absolutely drooling at the thought of doing a nice roast. I think I'm on choppong/wash up duty and will be kept away from the actual responsibilities of cooking (sweet!). I'm already hungry at the thought and it's hours away yet.

Good news this week - learned I can stay at Doorways for the next month! Yeah for employment! Yeah for challenging work! Yeah for fun co-workers! Yeah for a paycheck!
