... of cappuvino, sunburn and eastern european boys

Summertime has hit! Well, what will probably amount to the summer in Scotland. Although, we have actually been pretty lucky with weather so far. I'm even tanning. This is an achievement, really - I have about the fairest skin possible.

On the negative side, however - I should've begun my summer course in St Petersburg this morning. Unfortunately everything that COULD have gone wrong with my visa application WENT wrong with my visa application and thus I'm tied to the UK for yet another summer. Oh well. A visit to my boyfriend in London should brighten my mood a bit, with any luck.

Meantime, give me a glass of wine (or, a recent discovery in Lidl, Cappuvino. Wine that tastes sort of like coffee. Kind of sickly, but pretty good!) and keep the sunshine going. I'm going to wait till it cools down a bit in the south of the country before venturing there - 32 degrees celsius?! Helloooo sunburn!

... of russia, of rocking out and of shopping without the money

It's been a day of more stress - who knew trying to arrange a language course over the summer would be so DIFFICULT? Essentially, I'm going to St Petersburg through my university but have had about as much information as you would get out of a brick. Now I have three weeks to the day until I leave, and as yet, no visa, no flights, no accommodation and still very little idea of what I'm doing there. Oh boy.

Music festival (Rockness) coming up next weekend... and I really want to go shopping. Extreme shopping.

In other news, where's the good weather gone? We were in a heatwave last week, now it's back to typical Scotland. Well. It can only get better now, I guess. Although I've probably jinxed it now!
