ah...

Real spring behind window, and real relax in this side of window :) chocolate ice cream, coffee, that taste awfully ( just now remember i don't like coffee actually), cosmopolitan (magazine, not a coctail) , pop music loud on radio and empty house. What else i could ask for my lazy days off? Ok ok don't go to details, coz could print like thousand lines list. So much happened recently and as usually i am to f***ing lazy to write down every little constantly. I'm having weird dreams last few days. Like today i woke up with idea why i don't read and analyze text anymore. U know like in school. Even met my literature teacher in middle of dream, so realistic; she couldn't pronounce R , but sounded not french at all, just like in reality. Anyway she's amazing personality and as much as i didn't like her while in school , now want to visit her when someday comeback, come, go to Lithuania, and say that for her. Just like honest thanks. She one of those rare people that believe i have brains.
Had to write down to my notebook everything happening to me. So since i slept over my Falkirk festival ( came back from work 2am) was working all week till these amazing in all meanings 4 days off in a row. But on Monday had time to go to Shanghai again. Didn't appreciate R'n'B in dance floor at beginning , but more cocktails done their work. :)) Wednesday was the best coz friend who havent seen for half year came for shopping day in Edinburgh. Weather was gorgeous as all week, so great occasion get red tan on my back and shoulders, isn't it? Ach girls day in a city with lots of laughs and gossips, memories from rannoch and first time me being guide of the city. Jealousy for new Lindsay's camera made me decide have one as well. And i will ! just before Paris affair :) Generally almost all week spend in work and west princes gardens enjoying sun, fresh air, smell of just cut grass, Spanish songs and becoming green from jealousy for happy couples.
I had a promise for myself. Some climbing, code name 'Arthur seat'. Done. 15 min. easy peasy. But view. AH....

Was in Botanic gardens as well. Ah real oase of nature in middle of city. Of course if skipping that part that i'm not really interested what leaves growing here next to rock or which family this bush is from. Few nice puddles for birds,plenty of benches for old boned ones, loads of friendly ( as long as u have nuts for them) squirrels, and smell of conifers. The one i really missed. Just bring that sense u really in nature, u 'at home', even kinda remind me yearly vacations in only Lithuanian beach town. relaxation. Oh and it have great view of city from the hill ( full of kids shouting and running to their spaceships :)) very expensive cafe small glasshouse, which part of them can't be entered without opening ur wallets. Anyway tropical house really convincing: humid (breathing don't look such an easy action there) and palm trees high with 3 floor or even more, that coconuts probably would look so small u didn't even want to try it. Somewhere in between glasshouses is room with exposition of architecture(?) + open workshop for kids + some old school music instruments( to try staff patience). Guess its unusual and worth attention, but at the moment personally myself was more concern to find loo (ooops), so can't say a lot bout it. Entrance free. open as remember till 19pm. Worth to visit. Actually i noticed Edinburgh one of those city full of green areas spotted in whole city. Parks, playgrounds, gardens, not only in city centre. I love it. Not many cities have this ( or they hiding it!)

Oh and yesterday. OH yesterday ! sexy massage from friend and El barrios. Best to shake off ur bad thoughts. As once i told my colleague : i don't really like guys there ( don't take it too absolute or racist), so i don't care how i look like = amazingly free dances. And Anikos ex colleague - to boost self esteem. Even stroll home after, which usually not so so comfy in my 'shiny shoes', didn't bother so much as it was good weather and funny guys aside, and of course alco in blood.
Almost didn't forgot my lil sister coming for summer job ( probably) as well as my favourite lithuanian girl. And Aniko inviting me to trip to look for summer job in Spain. ajajaj what to do?

Born to be Spoilt!

...says my underwear that just got from-now-my-favorite-shop 'La Senza'. I don't know what: the fact that stuff are really nice or that u get nice offers for a wide variety stuff that all girls love to choose from :) lingerie. But most charming is the fact that every ur purchase they wrap in deep pink colour wrapping paper. looks just sooooo chick. soooo me. Call me vain, but I do care about the packing of products. Just when read in 'The Undercover Economist' could finally step trough barrier and buy food products of cheap lines ( u know the ones like tesco or asda's rice, sauces and blah blah blah, we have maxima's production like that back in Lithuania) Coz its the same food, just for those who can't afford anything more expensive. Anyway my point was - all those stylish bottles of shampoo or funky/chick/urban elegant packages of any other stuff attracts my eye thousand times more than boring ones, or unmatched coloured ones. Sometimes even feel really sorry that have to buy high quality, lets say body lotion, in one of most ugliest designed bottles . And i'm just one of millions consumers. Not a victim of adds or smth. though, coz usually i just look at those stylish packed things with one of those 'why can't u be mine' or 'oh u are so beautiful i could just buy u right, here right now' stares, but usually (which means i also have weak moments, or paydays :) ) don't buy. Its simply i like pretty stuff (translation : as i said - I'm vain).
Wednesday was a good day. i mean night. goood night. Tired, faraway ( just i manage to leave my ipod at coffee house that closes in 5 min, thanks Nero on Lothian road staff ;) ) and bit pissed off coz of Aniko. Even though her watch is set half an hour ahead, she always late. usually late more than me. bastard. But there was salsa! yummy one hour just flew away so fast while trying to manage that 2 and half turns and crossed mambo steps. And what a good feeling when u finally do it right ! Almost forgot it since the last dance lessons in high school. For a few hours after still could hear teachers ' and again and again' with lovely (spanish?) accent. Later on or should i say true - after salsa lesson jumped to bus and hurry to fire (Beltane) festival, where met other hungerian people and wander around till the rituals started. Its quite cool. Everything based on Celtic culture. In ancient times Celts got 4 quarters as a calendar, instead of 12 months, so when each quarter turns into another one, they celebrate with special ceremonies. As i know Beltane is most important one. Anyway saw all those groups of people in red, blue, green and seems grey ( And when i mean 'in' i mean covered in paints) , also their ancient ''camps'', drank hot chocolate, and tightly fit into crowd of Spanish, french and polish people (where the hell all scotish were??). Can i just mention that those half naked /most of the time- almost naked / guys (planty of girls as well) with painted bodies was as pleasure for eyes as all that festival. And drums....omg drummers were amazing! Havent heard such good rhythms for a long time. wouldn't even call that stuff they played old stylish, maybe they modernised that? well to be honest drums music were amazing mainly on a main show. after hour u could hear them in few separate places, but it was rather monotonous base to create atmosphere than treat for ears. All event was awesome but bit disorganized, got lost after main part where to go, what to watch now. Everything happened at the same time.
Can't imagine how calton hill looked next morning, coz rain was just pouring like out of bucket. Had walk home for 15 completely soaked. oh and such showers where 'attacking' every few minutes and stops as quick as started. What can i say ...Scotland.
Recently got loads of business related with post. Including posting present for my mum, as mummies day in Lithuania happened to be on first Sunday of May. Which can be not so nice if u live in country, lets say UK, who sits calm now, coz brought all flowers/cards/chocolates for mums like two months ago. And now there's no signs that such day exist at all, which can be bit shocking to remember that totally accidentally on Thursday after work (god bless hospitality with all its non-office work hours) and organise send gift at the very same day. Didn't wanna be late, coz post in Lithuania dont work on weekends, and it takes 1-2 days package even to go there. Good daughter *proudly stroking head*

And i really shouldn't stay up so late, so going to enjoy my new gorgeous burgundy red bedding. Am i crazy if buying such things even when I'm just renting a room?
night night
