Just got back to the flat after spending a wonderful time in Dumfries for the weekend...
I just wanted to get my Immunology Essay done and cos Justin and gang were over on thurs I just could not find the time to do it then.. so text the Aunt to say that Alistair and I wont be down till Saturday morning.. which allowed me to spend my whole friday in the library to do my essay (:
Early on Saturday morning (cant believe I actually manage to get up after having another late night), got the train down to Dumfries where Auntie Valerie was waiting for us.. Went into town to get Grandpa's birthday card and present...
Helped with dinner that night (: made the dessert too~!! Chicken in BBQ sauce it was.. always loved this dish...
Dessert - Eve's Pudding.. so simple yet so yummy...
*Watched X Factor that night.. argh!!! Cant believe Rachael and Daniel are still in and Laura had to get voted out cos of those 2..
Sunday morning.. Auntie Valerie, Uncle Robert, Alistair and myself all went to the church for Remembrance Day. It was a lovely service. Really enjoyed it.. all wore our little poppies on our jackets (:
Went to pick Grandpa straight after church and took him for his birthday lunch a Ken Bridge in New Galloway.. And on our way back, we stopped to see Auntie Nettie. If Im not wrong, Auntie Nettie use to be my dad's neighbour when he was just a little boy.. see the picture below, top left, I think he use to live along this street, one of the colored doors, jsut cant rememeber which one is it... (:Well Auntie Nettie will be a 100 years old this coming march and she's still as bright as a button... must be something in the air or water hahah... (:
On our way back from New Galloway to Castle Douglas where Grandpa lives, we saw Red Kites in the sky.. We were told by our Auntie that they are really rare and were nearly extinct a while ago.. so we were really lucky to have seen them... you cant really see them in the top 2 pictures that I took, but thats what they are suppose to look like in the bottom picture.. (:
Haha below is Grandpa opening his birthday presents!!! haha... just like a little boy at christmas.. (: Alistair and I got him new PJs.. Dear Old Grandpa who will be 88 tmr.. (:
Well that pretty much sums up my weekend.. short get-away.. always love it.. back to Jordanhill tmr, laundry to do, Tesco shopping to do, forms to be handed in, assignments to be printed out.. back to the hustle and bustle of things..
