Saturday

Well as I'm not in BicCon and there was a chance of some fair weather I got on a train to Dundee and a bus to St Andrews for a day out. I got to St Andrews about 9 and it was sunny and warm enough. So coffee and breakfast were OK but not stunning, thankfully a visit to http://www.toppingbooks.co.uk/ got the day off to a great start by just being wonderful and by lightening my pocket by a few quid.

Most of the day was on the beach as there was a fun fair in the town centre, but thankfully the small beach stayed quiet most of the day. I did find some good coffee and read The Immortals. I do like a nice dose of magical realism with a hint of time travelling and someone lost in the world, travelling searching with a stunning set of images at the end.

Sunday - planning to find something to do!

SHopping and stuff, followed by more of the "What the fuck am I doing with my life?" angst.

Don't get me wrong, the job is going well and I'm gradually improving my fitness. This is helping in my ability to see beyond just doing the work thing.

So what else do I want to do? Well some kind of social life and a creative life would be good. What do I like doing? Theatre, folkie stuff, walking, Doctor Who, Bi groups.

So interesting article on the Guardian about this - My workout nordic walker which sounds like a fitness program that I could go for. There are a couple of teachers nearby, Perth and Dundee, the Dundee one has taster sessions and classes planned for the Autumn, the Perth one doesn't have anything on the website, but I've pinged her a message.

Theatre - well a friend of mine who lives in Birnam is part of the drama group at her local arts centre. There's nothing in Perth at the moment and Birnam is doable by train or bus on an evening, and they start preliminary meetings for their Autumn/Winter 2016 show tomorrow. So I'm going to pop along and poke my head round the door.

So that's fitness and hopefully social walking group, maybe some acting or other stage stuff. Folkie Well I'm thinking of getting a bodhran and I have no intention of joining the local(ish) Doctor Who group. Bi groups? Well I occasionally go to Edinburgh, there isn't one in Dundee or Perth and I'm not planning on starting one (at present).
