Looking at the forecast, it would appear as though summer has finally arrived here in Aberdeen. The temperature may even climb into the 20s at some point this week! Hopefully I can even bust out the shorts.
Lauren and I took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday and, after running a few errands that must be done on weekends since the stores are closed in the evenings here, we hit up a nice patio in town to enjoy an adult beverage and talk about our upcoming adventures. We came home and relaxed for a bit, and watched Doubt later on in the evening. Excellent film. It was warm but cloudy yesterday, and we walked to a new favorite spot of ours, the brig o’ balgownie, close to where the river Don runs into the sea. We walked around a took some photos, and sat on the bridge, where I read and Lauren drew. Then I had to work for a few hours, and was able to catch a bit of the exciting Confederation Cup Final.
Lauren’s term at school has ended, and she is now helping out with holiday clubs. As for me, I am actually set to begin the third of four big chapters in my dissertation, and am well on my way to completing it by August 21, Lauren’s last day of work.
One more thing. For those following me on twitter, I changed my account to @icmclaren – I was getting too many spam followers on my first one. If it happens again, I shall tweet no more.
