On Jet Lag & Rain

The Courtyard

So big surprise I didn't get any sleep last night. I don't mean just waking up in the middle of the night. I'm talking zero sleep. Jet lag, it's a terrible thing. Got up at 9:30 AM feeling like death. Made myself some breakfast and coffee and still felt terrible so I attempted to take a nap - no good, still couldn't fall asleep. Oh well, I've got the weekend to get over it.

Today I walked to the left down Byers Road to see what there was to see. My mission - get an adapter for Brenda's blow dryer as the adapters she brought don't fit the type of plugs in this flat. So I checked out Woolworths and Boots and for an extra pound I ended up just buying a new blow dryer (I'll need one for myself eventually anyway).

Found a few very good looking bakeries and another vegetable stand. Picked up veggies for tonight's curry. Also found a new Tikka Masala sauce I wasn't familiar with so I grabbed it and will try it out.

On the way home from my walk the rain started and as I had left my small umbrella somewhere in my parents garage I had nothing. But I have heard that a true Scot doesn't use an umbrella unless it's a torrential downpour so I must have looked like a local, or just a very soggy unprepared newcomer.

Grabbed a coffee from the shop downstairs to warm me up.

A quick comment on posting comments to my blog. Please do - but when you do please either leave your name or at least initials so I know who you are.

Tommorrow I'll have a concert review of the Acoustic Triangle performance from Stirling Castle.
