Winter is blue (part one)

So I’m trying to be positive and make the most of it.
Here are some of my favourite moments of Winter 2010 – Apologies for those you have already seen/read about, but it’s my list so tough. (Not in any order, just as I find/remember them)
Starbucks
I spend pretty much every Sunday afternoon in Starbucks on Princes Street. Either reading a book, or catching up with friends. It makes me happy and it’s now firmly part of my weekend routine.
Deserted Rose Street at 7am
Queueing for hours outside TicketScotland for Take That tickets. We had a lot of laughs, but by 9:15 we had our tickets and everyone who hadn’t queued was frantically stuck in the whole ticketmaster website fiasco. I’d definitely do it again – with the right company ofcourse!
Awesome Birthday Cake
Bonfire night in the rain. It also happened to be my friend’s birthday, so we stood in her garden, under umbrellas as her flatmates set off fireworks. In lieu of any photos of the fireworks, you get to see the amazing birthday cake she had!
#demo2010
The NUS/UCU Anti-Cuts Demo. I wasn’t at the main demo in London, but through my work I was involved. It’s something I’m proud to have been involved in, I may not be a student any more, but I don’t want to see the cuts come in… “You say cut-back, we say fight-back”.
Poker Night
I’ve enjoyed embracing my natural hairstyle and being curly for a change. I also enjoyed a poker night, where I lose miserably, but had great fun using a magnifying glass to read the hands from the back of the packet.
