Part 168: Prestwick Life

Hello there!

So I am actually typing this blog on the 4th of September (Saturday) however it wont be posted until Monday. This way I know I got most things and I don't have to type the entire thing in one hit. Make my life easier and also its beneficial for you because I wont be grumpy by the end of the blog because I've typed too much. Ha ha.

Anyway, so I didn't actually do much yesterday. I have caught AJ's blasted cold which makes me a bit exahusted for no reason, quite frustrating really. Anyway, I got up in the morning and chatted to my mother as I packed all my things for my weekend away. At 11.30 I left the house and by 1.30 I was in Prestwick giving Moira a hug hello. It was nice to see her again but unfortunately, she has a bad back at the moment and I am sick so both of us just sat and talked for a while which was great all the same. Moira did want to get down the street to buy a magazine so we did that but that was the extent of our excersise for the day. It was a nice walk though we ended up going the long way around and bumped into Ellen who I met the last time I was in here in Moiras Charity Shop. She was the woman who gave me my shoes for my work at T in the park. It was nice to see her again, friendly lady.

Julie has been sick recently too, she is currently recovering from an operation so although the original plan was to be at Brians for the night, this became a bit problematic because of Julies ilness and Brian being so busy at work so I ended up staying here at Moiras on her couch bed thing in the living room which is comfy enough for me! We watched TV and chatted a while before I went to sleep.

This morning Moira let me sleep in as she crept around her whole house so as to let me get better from this stupid cold.I woke up at 10.30 and stayed in bed as we talked some more. The plan was to meet up with Brian, Julie and the kids (I shouldn't say kids really I mean I am like 7 months older than Andrew and Stuart is 14 in 2 weeks...) anyway, the plan was to meet up in the afternoon so the morning was free. I had a shower and went on a walk along the promenade which was nice because there was a yaught race going on. I watched that for a while before going up to Moiras room and then soon after getting called to wait out the front for Brian to come pick us up.

Brian came and in the car with him was young Stuart. Stuart is one day younger than Ellen but my God is he tall! He is already taller than me damnit! Ohhh well. We drove out to their newly purchased caravan out at Maybol where we stayed and talked about my Euro-trip for a while until I met Julie, her Sister, Andrew and his girlfriend. Andrew is sooooo tall as well. I think he is like 6'5 or something ridiculous like that. After a bried conversation we went out for coffee at a cafe not far away. The 4 youngens (myself included) were put on a table to converse but it was a bit odd because we really had nothing to talk about. Andrews girlfriend Mel was a bit of a saving grace as she was happy to talk about Australia for a while and we could talk about our coffee...

After coffee we drove back to Brians place where Moira and I stayed for a while talking some more. It was cool seeing Brians house and meeting his pets and such and all their rooms and everything. Haha. We didnt stay long though- just long enough to snap up this happy snap then Brian dropped Moira and I back and since, we've been eating scrambled eggs on toast and watching 'The X-Factor' I love Cheryl Coles Irish accent. Sooo sexy.

And thus my weekend to date. It is a shame that Julie, Moira and I are all sick and Brian is flat out with work- timing is shocking but its the best we can do. Unfortunately, I wont be able to make it to Isle of Aran which makes me sad because I was going to go with Lois but decided to wait because I was meant to come this time... Oh well, next time I am in Scotland Aran is his on the agenda. Very high.

Oh! And did you hear about the Earthquake in New Zealand. Wow.

Nighty night.
