8 days in the sun

hello again!

So here's a wee photo update on my trip to Italy. With scottish slang apparently.




Sunset in Florence. Firenze. Beautiful city with 60% of the UNESCO's recognized historical art works. Or something like that. It's impressive anyhow.



Roman Type... in Rome!



Claire and I in the streets of Rome with our brand new "genunine" rayban sunglasses.



Silly art-kid photo. Wish I knew what all the taped on signs said.


Okay! So now what? I'm sticking around Edinburgh enjoying work and my friends until the 19th of July, then heading to France for an indefinite amount of time, with a tent and a backpack! I'm excited to see the sun again...

the highlight of haggis

So... it's been a while, hey?

A lot has been going on, and it seems like a bit of a chore to properly describe what I've been up to. For the sake of brevity, I'll keep it to a few highlights.

Load's of visitors over the past month:

Vikki and mike came from Belfast, Mary from London, and now Claire Claire. Visitors mean going out for veggie Haggis, which I'll do at any excuse.



Great music:

Got to see Mogwai play an anniversary show at a prominent Edinburgh venue. Also went to Glasgow to see DoMakeSayThink with a fellow Canadian friend. It was probably the most intimate DoMakeSayThink show I'll ever get to see, probably the worst sound too. One more thing; on Saturday Claire and I went to a great little venue called Octopus Diamond and watched 4 local bands play. 3 were astounding.

Work:

I'm working at a lovely little cafe called Simple Feast. I make and consume a lot of coffee. Finally have mastered getting decent foam on semi-skinned milk. I also ...was... working at a really upmarket grocery "boutique" near my house. Maybe work isn't a highlight?



I'm off to Italy tomorrow for 8 days. When I get back I'll have some new sketches to put up!

I hope everyone is doing well, I'm missing the warm Alberta summer!
