Here's where I've been sitting for a drink and working on my laptop for the past few afternoons. Banks of Ury.
This week we moved to Inverurie which is closer to work for David (he's consulting for a week here). When he goes off to work in the morning, I walk to do some shopping in the area... love Poundland (it's like the $2 Daiso store in Singapore, but here's it's 1pound), M&S, Boots, SuperDrug... all my favs (but there's no Primark or Asda here in Inverurie..boo hoo). I get food for lunch at the grocers/supermarket and walk home.

My 6pounds neon pink sneakers from ASDA kids section lol |
David drives back to the flat to eat and hang out with me during his lunch hour. Then I iron the clothes after he's gone, and take a walk down to a quiet pub called Banks of Ury to have a drink and use the wifi because it's the closest one to the flat.
At 5plus in the evening, David gets back and we go for dinner... have a drink, watch TV. It's a slow pace of life here... no one is really in a rush, most people are gracious and polite. So unlike Singapore.
But I miss my busy city life and my family, and my dog Lola, and Bak Chor mee and prawn noodle soup (there's a new stall selling prawn noodles in Balestier and I'm going to eat there the day after I get back to Singapore). OMG I can die waiting.
Tomorrow, we head back to stay at his parent's home in Dyce, which is even quieter than Inverurie but is just a 10 minute train ride into town (Union St) where I can get Primark. haha.
