I’m not an enormous fan of Autumn. I know everyone else loves it, and I can appreciate how pretty the autumn leaves are as they turn red and gold, but to me, that doesn’t make up the sludge leaf mould on the pavements, the cold, the rain, the wind and the incessant dark. I don’t like… Continue reading October roundup
This month its been hard to find new things to try. October has kind of run away with me and I think in general, this part of the year is one I struggle with. I definitely don’t suffer from SAD but I do find myself getting more tired at this time of year as the… Continue reading New things I tried in October ’17
Things have already been feeling very Autumnal this September in Falkirk. It’s getting chilly, wet and windy and, as they say, the nights are fair drawing in. Financial status: September is always an expensive month because we tend to set insurance, broadband, TV licenses and any changes to utility providers at this time of year. Wherever… Continue reading September Roundup
A few weeks ago P and I went for a cycle along the Union Canal in Falkirk and decided to take a detour into Canada Wood. Quite aside from that being a terrible idea (oh my god the hills. I do not do hills.) we did stumble across a new pub/restaurant place that I immediately… Continue reading Dinner at Canada Wood Kitchen, Falkirk
August went by far too quickly (and was surprisingly cold and rainy). Here’s hoping for a more relaxed and warmer September. Financial status: I’m still making up for a few weeks of not being employed in between jobs but things are looking up. Mostly wearing: Suits and smart things at work, pyjamas the minute I get home… Continue reading August Roundup
As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m terrible at actually going to The Fringe Festival. I’m paralysed by choice. There’s just far, far too much and I have no idea what I want to see so I end up seeing nothing unless someone else organises it. Fortunately, my friend B suggested we see a comedian… Continue reading Dinner at Tanjore, Edinburgh
I never visited Something back in the day, but I’d heard good things, so when we were deciding where to go for our “Boozy Bookclub Brunch” I was excited to hear that Something had moved to The Glad Cafe. Sure, it’s in Glasgow’s South Side, which always seems like a faff to get to when… Continue reading Brunch at The Glad Cafe, Glasgow
We might not have planned it exactly, but having spent a slightly drizzly day wandering around Falkirk’s shops, I ended up buying a gorgeous dress from a lovely independent boutique called Quest, and I needed an excuse to wear it, so, even though it was a drizzly Sunday, we decided to give Sanam Tandoori a… Continue reading Dinner at Sanam Tandoori, Falkirk
As usual, last month I was 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. In July I tried: 1. Working as a trainee patent attorney I started working… Continue reading New things I tried in July
I love a good Farmers’ Market. I posted about the one in Partick not long ago and I kind of have plans to visit as many as I can, although, admittedly, not plans that I’ve worked very hard to put into action. I knew that Falkirk had a Farmer’s market and, as a local, I… Continue reading Falkirk Farmers’ Market
