Heart Shaped Balloon: Brew Dog!

So, I'm defo going to skim straight past my absence on from blogging in the last 2 weeks. It's been rather hectic and busy and I've generally been lacking in motivation to do anything. Saying that, I've not really done a lot worth talking about in my last 12 or so days. I'm looking back and seeing me just watching a massive amount of movies!

Anyway, back on to other chat. I had an amazing impromptue trip home on Friday to see Tom and to get some computing help from my dad. I successfully got all my work done super quickly and got to see Tom for ages. The new Brew Dog pub has just opened in Edinburgh and I'd been dying to go. A horrible fact about me is that I'm a right lad when it comes to beer. I like beer and good real ale at that! Brew Dog is fantastic and their slogan is 'Beer For Punks'. What's not to love?

I'm on a bit of a diet at the moment though so I was only allowed 1 pint and then we left to go have dinner. Tom is without a doubt one of the best cooks I know, other than my mum of course, but he's fantastic. It wasn't the most diet friendly meal but all I'm telling myself is that it's not a real diet. Basically I've cut out bread, cider and beer from my diet along with unnecessary snacking (which is the hardest part!). But it's been okay, obviously I had to make an exception on the beer ban for the Brew Dog pub but it's back in force. Also, along with that I've been taking the stairs up the 5 flights of stairs to our flat instead of the lift. Not this week though as I've been horribly over taken by a cold and can't muster the energy for that many stairs yet. But the cold also helped with this whole not eating too much though, I had no appetite for 2 days solid. I know, not the best approach!

I also received some amazing mail all the way from Korea thanks to a mate of mine. She's been away for over a year and has missed my last 2 birthdays and sent me a wee Korean themed package. In it she sent an amazing Hello Kitty stamp set! It's the best thing ever.

I don't know if I mentioned a couple of weeks back, but I finally decided to buy a decal for my mac. I'd been deliberating for ages whether to get one or not. The thing worrying me was whether it would leave a mark on my mac after I took it off. Turns out they're amazing and don't leave any trace of anything being there. So I spent hours scrolling through Etsy for one and finally decided on the retro apple mac logo for the apple sign on my computer.

As I'm a ridiculous perfectionist with a lot of thing, I'm not very happy with it as the stalk is too small and the apple is too big for the actual apple on my computer. (it's not obvious in the picture.. everyone says it's not obvious though, so I'm getting used to it.) Has anyone else got one similar? Did yours fit your apple okay? (sounds pretty silly!)

Check out this cute wee drawing Cassie made for me! It's now made it's way to my wall of lovely things above my bed along with photos of my childhood and grandparents. Thats how much I love it!
