Scotland & Portugal

Its been a while, been really busy these past couple of weeks both at work and home..

Scotland
Two weekends ago, went to Scotland.. its was really good to go away, even if only for a weekend. A few of my friends and boyfriend went to watch the rugby and the rest of us decided that it was a better idea to skip the rugby and walk around Edingburgh and do some shopping.

I must say that when every one was going to Murrayfield and the vibe was such a good one from both South Africans and Scottish people, I kind of wanted to go, just to see what its all about.

Edinburgh is beautiful city, and its worth a visit. It was great to go back and see all the sites again, one thing i must say.. i wish i knew what Edinburgh looks like in the summer cos both times i was there it was bloody cold.


Portugal
Last weekend, i was in Portugal, went thursday came back sunday evening, it was so good to be home.
But the reason i went home was to see my brother's "passing out" "graduation", whatever... the ceremony these kids have after they finish the first 5 weeks of basic recruit. When i saw him i just burst in to tears, i know i know i'm just an idiot, but it was the first time i was seeing him wearing his uniform and he looked so proud and serious, just taking that whole thing so seriously, it was great. Took loads of photos, obviously.
The weekend was not near to enough time for me to see everyone i'd like to see, so i was very tired, still recovering now.

Man, i miss home, miss being with my brother, miss being with my friends, my family(those that matter). Miss the laidback lifestyle, sometimes i wish i could go home, kind of like yesterday,sometimes it feels like i'm just missing out on what's happening in the life of the people i love, but at the moment its just not realistic.

Who knows, maybe one day i'll go back.

All for know..

Good Night
