The next day we went shopping in Edinburgh. It took us ages to
get ready and leave the house, but then again what do you expect from 3 girls.
We started the day with a lovely Starbucks. I forgot about my diet while they
were here so I had a muffin and a frappuccino. 3 pairs of shoes and a few hours
later we sat down in princes street gardens and waited for Connor. We had such
a good day and took loads of photos. When the shadows came creeping we went to
Jimmy Chungs and waited in there. When Connor arrived we were already on round
number two. The Chinese food was just too good to wait on.
On Tuesday we once again went shopping. We
spent ages in Primark. I got myself some new underwear and a few new tops. I
took the girls to Mary Kings Close. Even though I’ve been once before with
Tobias I still found it interesting. We had our tea in TGI Fridays before going
home for a cup of tea and chatting. We sat up for ages talking about everything
between heaven and earth while Aurora did my nails. Some of the topics were a
bit painful to go near but also good in a way, and some were lovely childhood memories. I still find
it weird that Aurora and Kaja are such good friends. I realized just how weird
it was once I was speaking about family things and Aurora had no idea what I
was talking about and then high school stuff and Kaja only really understood
what she had already been told by Aurora. Most of all it was weird to hang out
with people from two different “parts” of my life in another “part” of my life.
The family part; the Norwegian high school part; and the Scotland part. I spent
some time talking to Connor once I went to bed as well. It was a lot of stuff
on my mind.
Then on Wednesday we walked along Musselburgh beach and I also took
them up to the old graveyard to show them the view. A lunch at Costa was of
course also required. I had had such a great time having them over, so dropping
them off at the train station was quite hard. Luckily it’s only 7 or 8 weeks
until I go home and I’ll see them both again. I spent the night at Connors
house before going to placement.
Yesterday was such a warm day and I am really
sunburned on my shoulders today. I also managed to get all the way into the
train station before I realized that my bank card was not in my wallet. So I
had to go all the way back to halls and get it, and then go all the way back to
the train station. I was about an hour late this morning. Luckily I have quite
an understanding placement who told me it was fine as long as I made up my
hours some other day =)
