Shh..

I'm meant to be sat working right now. I'm working from home today as not feeling too hot and there wasn't anyone else in the office. But anyway, I got a bit distracted by a few things online. 



One of the main distractions being twitter informing me of Cupcake Decorating Classes with Bibi's Bakery in Edinburgh. It's pretty pricey but you do get a fair bit for the money. It's £55 for the course which lasts 3 and a half hours. It includes a 2 and a half hour long lesson in cake decorating, which includes tips on perfect piped icing and the trick to a flat cake, among other tricks and tips. Along with the lesson, it includes a 2 course lunch and a glass of Moet. It's all done in Tigerlily on George Street, Edinburgh. 



I'm in the mood to bake at the moment! I made this amazing cake the other day, it was a hit with everyone too. It's a Caramel & Apple Loaf. I just stumbled upon the recipe online while bored on a bus and went straight to the shops and got the ingredients! Get the recipe here if you fancy trying it. 


       

Tom and I went to an open mic night at a local bar called Boda. Out mate usually runs it but she took the night off and got another guy to do it. Tom went and played a lovely song called "Speed & Sound of Loneliness" and did it amazingly. The night ended badly, with the guy running the night being a dick to Tom and we left. 


Right now I'm totally looking forward to my week in the Spanish sunshine with my lovely man. The only thing standing in my way is 3 more days at work and packing.. We leave on Monday! Well excited. 

Over and out.

It's All Over

So, it's official. My second year at uni is now over. Had my exam and presentation last week and moved out yesterday. It was odd moving out so early but thanks to this job I'll actually be making some money straight away! 



Had an epic party Tuesday night to celebrate the end of the year and my flatmates birthday. We surprised him with a sushi shaped cake and some speakers, he was over the moon, the wee cutie. On Friday, Clare and I went for a beautiful cycle to celebrate uni being over. We went from Dundee to Broughty Ferry. It's was a lovely day and once we got there we had a picnic and went to the famous ice cream shop. I had nutella swirl, it was the best. We defo deserved it, we ended up cycling a good 16 km. All while everyone else in our class were sitting in the pub getting wasted. 




Got home with everything I own in my tiny little car last night and got rushed out the door to a meal out with the family, Tom and my bro's girlfriend Anneka. It was a lovely dinner, a stupid amount of wine, and then we went back to the house. Had a load of banter and watched Lion King and sang along. Silly people.


Woke up this afternoon to a BBQ in the sun. Was a lovely, lazy day. This was all to celebrate my dad's birthday, we don't just do things like that every weekend. Although, I well want to go canoeing next weekend with him if it's sunny! 


My cat loves sleeping in plant pots in the sun. 


In other news, Tom and I booked a totally last minute holiday away to Spain. Heading away two weeks away on Monday for a relaxing week. It's a really cheep holiday too, we're staying at Cassie's gran's flat in Gran Alacant. Excited much!


Hope everyones getting as much sun as we're getting! It's been an epic week. 
Over and out.
