Standard Grades and other Shizzle

My life has not been filled with much recently, hence the not very common posts as I've not had much to talk about! Standard grades (Scottish version of GCSEs) have been going on, and I'm just back from my fifth of eight exams, which was physics *shudder*, not really all that joyous.
Cannot wait til they are over and I can spend time with all my friends, which I really miss!

On that note, I'd like to say a wee note about my friends, as they are really important to me. They know who they are, and I really do love you all, I appreciate it :)

Will be a much longer post next time, I promise. Just wait til exams are over!

Love you lots like jellytots,

Busy, busy, busy

Why is life so hectic sometimes? Phew, I feel like I've been rushed off my feet in a storm of homework, revision and social life. And of course, the latter is the most important! Done many things since I last posted; which yes, i know, was AGES ago. I went to my school's Valentine's dance, which was so much fun. My friends and I went as the characters from Alice in Wonderland, with another two of my friends who went it leopard cat suits! I was the red queen of hearts.

I have also baked, LOTS. These are my two favourite creations- custard creams and berry cupcakes. Thanks to the 'a spoonful of sugar' blog, I made these delicious biscuits. And in case you're wondering, I made the pink icing roses by hand!

I saw Emeli Sandé at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh recently with a friend, Iona (far left on Alice in Wonderland pic). She was absolutely phenomenal, such a brilliant show. I was sitting quite far back, so the pictures aren't great, but the music certainly was.

Now, I really must get back to revision, I was just having a break. But I promise to blog soon!

My Little Slice of Hell

Geography prelim. Those two words explain it all.

Three and a half hours, sitting in a freezing cold hall with a boy next to me that must have flatulence problems. Fabulous.

To move on, i would like to tell you my little story i promised in my last blog. My Mother is devoted to the birds who visit our garden regularly and imagine her delight (and i suppose mine) when two loved-up blackbirds decided to create a nest, on our bathroom window ledge, right outside our front door! Cue Bonnie, Boris, Beatrice and Bobby, the children of Maurice and Maureen.

When They Were First Born

And all together now... aaaawww! Sadly now, all six have flown and not returned but we now have Dick, Fanny and Christopher (robin), and yes those names were my idea! When me or another member of my family sit at the computer next to the window, the blackbirds fly up and demand currants. My soppy mother always give in, they must eat their body weight in currants! They now come within half a metre of us, if you drop the currants at your feet, which i have to admit is pretty cool.

Revision tomorrow, then English, Physics and Maths consecutively. Then two dance shows on Saturday. Busy busy busy, what a life!

Love you lots like jellytots,
