Edinburgh Botanical Gardens

So yesterday and the day before have been brilliant days, yesterday Gail and I went to Roslin Chapel on Friday, just outside Edinburgh, and today Daniel and I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh and then to The Monuments Men at the Cinema. So it is safe to say I had two excellent days!

Now I would talk more about Roslin, but I took most of my photos with my new Camera so until those come back, I think I will just leave you with this sneaky one I took inside.

I have wanted to go to the greenhouses in the Royal Botanic Gardens since the last time Dixon and I went in 2012, so I got to go this time and one of the main things I wanted to see was the giant lily pads, unfortunately they were not there, but it was still gorgeous inside and interesting. We lucked out with a really nice day, but it seemed like everyone else had the same idea, but luckily the greenhouses weren't too busy.

  

So afterwards we went for an early showing of The Monuments Men which was great, a very worthwhile story and excellently portrayed.

And last but certainly not least, Dixon had got me an new record, just because, and its awesome!

Today I am off to Dr. Sketchy's to hopefully do some sketching, it hasn't been on since I last posted about it so I am glad its back.

Just Quick

Its that time of year again, me and Dixon are heading down to Blackpool tomorrow for Rebellion Festival. Hopefully all of the bands I want to see turn up and we see all of them this time. Either way it is always a laugh!

Perhaps I will remember to take more pictures this time and have more to share than some drunken tales.

The house is definitely live-in-able now, so once we are back we should be in! I hope we will see. There seems to always be something lurking on the horizon pushing the move in day further and further back.

So just a quick on today and some random pictures too.

Our new pal the fly trap!

December Punk

So December was a very busy sort of month as usual, so that means I have quite a bit to blog about but either keep forgetting or keep on feeling overwhelmed by what I want to say and then decided it would be to long and put it off. That is probably the worst thing I could do cause by now I have even more to write about. So today we are going back all the way to the first of December and we will go on from there. It really is the only way it will make sense.

The Exploited were playing and since it is the first time I actually saw them it was pretty great! I didn't get the best pictures but I was pretty far back, Dixon went up closer for me and got a video but it just won't upload so thats a bit of a bummer but in the end it was still pretty cool.

Also for the first time since I have been back in Scotland I got to see my pals in Daddy No! Play at the Banshee so if you like Hardcore Punk check them out now!

Also my plant at work is thriving and since the last photo another one has sprung up! Soon it will be time to re-pot!
