A Bloody Brilliant Day :)

I'm aware I haven't blogged in some time - bad me. But it just hasn't seemed worth while lately; yes, there have been the usual hijinks, but nothing of real importance...until today!

1. I interviewed for a policy job (temp contract for 11 months) with the SG.
2. I was offered the policy job :D
3. I had a meeting with an MP and may have some voluntary research and policy work lined up :D
4. Went out a celebrated success with Sarah:
i) Had dinner and cocktails at Jekle and Hyde
ii) Bought cigars and chocolate cookies and wondered along Rose street smoking cigars and eating said cookies
iii) We caught a pedicab and went on a brief tour of the New Town, and got out at Charlotte Square
iv) We sat down on the door step of the official Edinburgh residence of the First Minister, Mr Salmond, and ate more cookies and giggled until a gruff security man told us to move on - it was brilliant.
v) We went window-shopping at all the most expensive George Street stores, realising that shopping is only really fun if there's no one else there!
vi) We bought huge glasses of wine in a nice pub, and then were hit on by two very ugly men who clearly thought they were the bees-knees - it was very funny!
vii) Escaped from the ugly men and called it a night at that point.

:D

So the job starts on Wednesday (!) and I'm very much looking forward to it :)
