Financial status: Better than you’d imagine from a person who now technically doesn’t have a job, but not exactly adding to my savings either. Mostly wearing: Very casual clothes. I’m in some weird annual leave/unemployed limbo until 17th July. It’s amazing. Mostly eating: Entirely too much. What with leaving do’s, catching up with old friends, and graduating I… Continue reading June roundup
A while ago I signed up for Bike&Go, a scheme which allows you to rent bikes outside train stations. On my first trip, we cycled the short distance to The Milk Barn, a local dairy where you can buy homemade ice cream. On my second trip, we’d planned to go to Linlithgow, a town about… Continue reading I made it to Linlithgow!
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Visiting Croatia! We spent a week on… Continue reading New things I tried in May
I love Indian food. In Glasgow, I used to live very close to India Quay, for my money the best Indian restaurant in the city, but certainly in the top 3. Since I lived so close by, I was often there, either dining in the restaurant or picking up a takeaway. However, even the proximity of a… Continue reading Takeaway: Noor’s, Falkirk
Last month I tried writing a round up for the first time, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. It worked, I liked writing it, and I think it fits nicely with my Trying New Things posts, so I’m doing it again this month. Without any further ado, here’s my April round up: Financial… Continue reading April round up

This month I’ve tried: Visiting Arran This Easter we visited the Isle… Continue reading New things I tried in April
I don’t often order Chinese food. Mostly this is because P doesn’t like it, and we tend to share meals. This means that, should he be away for an evening, I’m often tempted to take the opportunity and get a takeaway, without feeling guilty that there’s nothing on the menu that he’ll like. This happened… Continue reading Takeaway: Canton Chinese, Falkirk
There is a bar in Falkirk called The Wine Library. I know. It’s a miracle I ever go anywhere else, right? Mostly that happens because they’re quite a specialist wine bar and it turns out that if you actually know your stuff about wines most bottles end up being more than £15 and I’m just… Continue reading Opening of The Gin Lounge, Falkirk
Last weekend when we woke up on Sunday (late, but not that late really, because of daylight savings) it was gloriously sunny outside. So, we took the opportunity to try out two things. 1. Bike and Go and 2. The Milk Barn When we lived in Glasgow I made occasional use of the bike rental… Continue reading It was sunny! So we cycled to The Milk Barn
