I am typing this post from O's man cave tonight, as my MacBook charger seems to have either given up the ghost or has thrown a hissy fit and is refusing to charge my beloved Mac (which only has 5% battery, btw). So, here I am surrounded by lots of black shiny computery things which seem to be making a lot of humming noises in the background. This can't be good for my writing mojo! Anyway, lets not dwell on all things mechanical and talk about Monday. My head is clearly in a drug-fueled cloud today, as I thought it was Sunday and just had to rename this post!
Let me begin by saying that today has been super lovely. After three days of moaning about my sore back, I finally got off the couch and went outside. You have no idea have freeing this felt! I got to put on some normal clothes (putting on tights when you can't bend is a little tricky...) and even managed to get in the car without too much drama. WOOP!
Now let's get on to those mundanities which have made my bank holiday Monday so kickass...
E A T I N G :: homemade potato scones (tattie scones, for any Scottish readers!). O made some from scratch this morning, soooo tasty. Oh and some deep fried brie. Oh my days.
D R I N K I N G :: Yorkshire lager. I've never tried this before, but sampled some in a pub up in the moors today. Love it!
L I S T E N I N G :: the new Twin Atlantic single, Heart and Soul. They are the most Scottish band in the world. Oh and the Nashville soundtrack. Yup, still not over that, sorry (not sorry).
R E A D I N G :: can't keep my mind on any one book at the moment, but I'm between an Ann Cleeves, Divergent and a Peter May trilogy.
L O V I N G :: the fact that in the last 20 minutes of me typing this post, O has managed to fix my MacBook charger! HOORAY!!!
W A T C H I N G :: 24 and Covert Affairs. Thanks Netflix!
P L A N N I N G :: a day out in Edinburgh with O. I've been lots, but O, being a Manc, hasn't spent much time there. Hoping to get the train up on Friday this week. Any food/cake/pub/coffee recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
W A N D E R I N G :: through the North York Moors. So beautifully desolate.
W E A R I N G :: no nail polish for two entire weeks. Too much coloured nail polish has broken my nails, so going bare for a while to heal them.
A N T I C I P A T I N G :: my first ever blogger meet up on Sunday. Eeek!
B U Y I N G :: my very own domain name! This lovely blog space is now: whiskyandpancakes.co.uk! :)
T H I N K I N G :: about what I actually want to do with my life. Very blessed that I can have this time off to listen to my gut and make some decisions.
How has your Monday been? Let's take stock together...
