Not much happening

In my glass: water
From my iPod: no idea - haven't been using it much
From my bookshelf:still a Clash of Kings - haven't been reading much lately
Outside: really warm but cloudy
My mood:ok
Today's hairstyle:nautilus with green ketylo

So it's been a quiet couple of weeks, bar the work on my parents new kitchen. I've been painting, reading up on homeopathy, and helping out my parents, in amongst trying to escape what has been, until the last day or two, scorching lay hot weather. It's been almost 25C a lot of days - we usually barely get to nineteen or twenty this time of year. I burn really easily, but I've so far managed to avoid it, so at least my efforts are paying off, even if my mum is tanning browner by the day, and I'm still pasty white - at least I'm not burnt.
I plan to go out and collect some elderflowers today, though since we currently don't have a stove or an oven, I can't really make cordial, so I'll have another go at a gallon of wine. I've been trying to think of other things to make wine with that I can collect while I'm out at my parents. I may make some tinctures too.
I'm going down to London this weekend, to go sailing with my uncle. I've never been sailing before, but it looks like it'll be great fun. What it does mean is that you're unlikely to hear much from me since I'll be off on a yacht all week.
So that's my quick update of a hot week in Perthshire. See you all sometime. :)
