October Update

Hi all and welcome to another monthly update :D

First off, graduation is looming, although I am now convinced that the Uni couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery! Apparently I should be getting to go to graduation after all because of the award I’m being given. But they’ve decided to make an exception as now all the stuff gone through. It means that I will be the very last person to be called on the day.

Personally it makes me feel like a fraud to be there. I know my dad’s graduating on the same day but it doesn’t feel right…

 

As for the job hunting, I applied as a Christmas temp for Argos and never heard anything back. Have stopped looking for the time being and there probably won’t be anything until after the Festive period anyway.

 

In the music department, I ended up being all gigged at the end of the month. As a bit of  a laugh I entered a competition to win tickets to go to the album launch of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. When I hadn’t heard anything back by the end of the week, I’d assumed that I hadn’t won. But on the day of the gig, I got a call to say I had won! It was a really good night although my ears were ringing for a few days after it.

Then on the Thursday night, I saw Amy Macdonald at the O2 Academy. You can read my review of that night here. Then two nights later, it was the turn of KT Tunstall at the Barrowlands. Again, you can read the review here.

So in November, I go see Here Come Te Girls in the Clyde Auditorium…well, it’s not really me. It’s my mum’s Christmas present. And now in December I’m also going to see Hayley Westenra at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, and that’s forming part of my Christmas too! I end my musical year off with Shakira (if the tickets ever turn up that is!!)

 

November is of course the month of fireworks and poor Meg is absolutely terrified this year. Now before you start saying get tablets or get a DAP plugin, we’ve tried them. It doesn’t touch her. In fact, the plugin had more effect on US that it did her. Besides the bomb shelter (aka the coffee table in the living room) she’s also taken up residence in the upstairs toilet…Now only we could teach her to use an indoor toilet and how to flush it…

 

Anyways, that it from me this month. Speak to you soon :D
