My recent life in about a minute
Nothing much has been going on, but there have been a few points of slight interest so here it is.
Last week the fire alarm in the flat upstairs was going off for ages and eventually a firetruck showed up outside. Then another. And Another. I was at the window checking out all the commotion when 3 firemen unlocked and opened our door, walking right it. They asked if this was flat #4, but I directed them to the alarm going off upstairs and they were on their way. I was just a bit surprised that they have a skeleton key for all the flats.
Just after all that finished up I was in the kitchen washing my dinner dishes when I heard a blood-curdling scream come from Hazels room. I dropped what I was doing and ran over to her room expecting to see her partially dismembered judging from the shrillness of her yells. She came running past me in the opposite direction, pushing me out of the way screaming, "MOUSE! MOUSE!" hahaha
I took a look around the room but couldn't find Mickey anywhere. He has since made a few appearances, but it is fairly sporadic. I said we should just get a regular trap, but the other flatmates were having none of that. They all hate the mouse, but don't want to harm it at all...
Work is the same as always, but we moved offices on Friday so there should be a bit of a change come Monday. Hopefully things will stay fairly social - there is nothing worse than working in an office where everyone just sits at their desk without saying a word all day.
Yesterday Donna, Hazel and I drove out to one of the beaches in East Lothian and walked around a bit. It was the first really nice day we have had in quite a while so we figured we would try to make the most of it. When we made it half-way around the beach we found a guy pacing back and forth on the rocks while his boat bashed against the rocks. Eventually he took the plunge, untied it and tried to push it onto the sand bar. I would like to say that I did the selfless thing and rushed into the water with him to help, but that just wasn't the case. It was getting pretty cold with the wind blowing and I can just imagine the water was freezing. Eventually a better man than myself came by, stripped down and helped the guy out - they eventually got it positioned in a reasonable spot.
I went out with a few friends to one of the University bars last night and am lined up to play in a poker tournament tonight.
I'll try to keep things a bit more updated as time goes on, but as you can see, not all that much has been going on.
There are a few new pictures HERE
Note the little kids wearing snow suits and mittens to play in the sand - there were at least 6 other kids up to the age of 6 dressed like this getting seriously muddy.
