On the agenda
We don’t have to cook or do dishes for a few days! I made chicken enchiladas tonight and a yummy chocolate cake (my great-grandma’s recipe) because usually we don’t eat big proper meals most days and, because we don’t have to cook dinner the next few days, I figured tonight we’d have a proper meal.
Tomorrow, I’m sure we’ll munch more on the chocolate cake then we’re going over to the Stubbs’ for lunch. They’re Australian and appreciate a good BBQ. They now have 4 little kids and have invited us over for a BBQ; I don’t know how they do it.
Monday, I’m meeting a girl I met from the Dublin conference for lunch, as she’s in Edinburgh for a few days. Then that evening Bryce and I have been invited to one of his prof’s houses for dinner (his Greek professor); we’ll catch a train to Livingstone (about 30 minutes away) forsome Scottish cuisine.
Then Tuesday is our 2nd anniversary! I have to get a few things done in the morning and then I am being whisked away to do something to celebrate (Bryce won’t tell me!), and this includes dinner out. Bryce’s parents will probably get into Edinburgh that day–yippee!
Wednesday the Hales are taking us out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary again! It’s funny cuz last year on our anniversary we were both in Palm Springs (they were visiting friends and we went for the weekend)–so it’s getting to be that we spend our anniversaries with Bryce’s parents.
They’ll be here until Friday morning. We plan to hike Arthur’s Seat, make a trip to IKEA, drive to North Berwick (a coastal town about 40 minutes from Edinburgh) and maybe take in climbing to the top of the Scott monument or some galleries/museums if it’s miserably rainy.
Bryce and I get the weekend together and then he’s off to London for a conference on Sunday night (27th) until Friday. I leave on Tuesday to spend a few days up at the Crocketts (as I didn’t want to be home by myself all week!). The following Friday (2 July) we all fly out to Ireland for a few days. We’ll get home to Edinburgh on the 7th and then the next day we’re heading down to Cambridge for my friend’s wedding! So after the end of this month, it may be a while till we blog.
But we’ll be sure to tell you all about our adventures and post our pictures.
