Went to Scotland to visit in-laws for the weekend. Both in-laws were very lovely, which was a bonus as what I'd really gone to Scotland for was the Ansel Adams exhibition in Edinburgh. That absolutely rocked. The depth and detail on the prints was amazing, and something you can't really capture in other reproductions. Contrary to what my ex used to tell me, you really do have to step away from the internet to appreciate some things. We also trailed the other guy in the exhibition around for a bit. It gave me a huge wanderlust - I miss the sea, I miss the mountains; I want to go back to Canada or the American West and see the landscapes.
We had curry four times in three days. I don't actually want to see curry again for a while now. We also stayed at the Raj Hotel - an Indian themed hotel in Edinburgh that I can highly recommend. All good.
In other news, I'm embroiled in a battle with the recycling collectors. My stuff hasn't been removed for 5 weeks now (except 0ct0pus took it yesterday, probably to stop me bitching). Always for some petty reason that isn't actually true. I follow the recycling rules to the letter, not because I'm a natural rule-follower, but because I pick my battles. Some things aren't worth the time it takes not to do them right. Anyhow, this is annoying me.
And finally - goals for April. Chunky but attainable - lose 5lbs, run 5km in 40 minutes, send off my RHS test papers.
