Forward planning
Monday, 3rd November, 2008
The first full week of November is upon us, and I’m off work for a week as I desperately try to fit in the 19 days holiday I have left before the end of the year.
I haven’t really got any plans for this week other than for Thursday which will see me at Glasgow Green to watch the annual fireworks display. And then I’ll be in a few pubs around the Merchant City area; for a heat obviously, because it’ll be cold down there on Glasgow Green. Ahem.
Today however, I stand accused of spectacular forward planning and of being ‘worse than a girl’. I was bored this morning (my body wakes at an absurdly early hour even when I don’t have to get up for work), and as it was dry and sunny (if a little cold), I decided to head into Glasgow to wander around the shops for a bit. I left Glasgow having bought what I will wear for my work’s Christmas night out. Which is on 19th December.
I’m actually glad that this particular festive task is out of the way, that really only leaves me the necessary present buying, and that’ll be done online hopefully within the next few weeks. I’ll hopefully be stress-free over the festive period and will just be able to enjoy the atmosphere without all of the hassle that goes with it. I think Edinburgh will get a visit this year (haven’t been for a couple of years now) as the mulled wine in that wee German market thing at the top of Princes Street Gardens is fantastic!
