bonnie scotland

So far this year has been unusually crazy for me - I've spent the last month 'preparing' to go to Edinburgh - of course this consisted of going out a lot and meeting a whole bunch of fantastic Londoners, just to make life difficult for me! I somehow managed to get around 5 leaving parties out of friends and workmates and by the end of my time in London I'm left feeling very much a Londoner and a little unsure that I'll feel the same way about Edinburgh.

So I finally got to Edinburgh yesterday; I got a train up along the coast, found my hostel, wandered around a bit then met Damian for dinner. It is such a GORGEOUS city and my hostel is so fantastic - I'm staying at a place called Castle Rock Hostel just under the castle. I'm itching to start working and get a house though because at the moment I just feel like a tourist and that's not what I want from this town.

So now on to finding a job - wish me luck!

I haven't tried the Haggis yet and I don't think I ever will! The memory of my last offal experience is enough to last me the rest of my life. Job hunting is going well so far, got a 2-3 week assignment as a HR Administrator (just like my mum!) starting Friday.
