No matter what ...theres magic in christmas time!! It might imply heartaches and longing like mentioned in my earlier blogs sumwhr but the sheer spirit in the air around this time of the year is just absolutely lovely and too beautiful to pretend like you dont give a shit. It was the nastiest scottish weather today..winds, rain, and the cold. Spent the entire morning discussing cost benefits, project cycles and shadow pricing in prep for the exam next thursday. Later went out in that bloody weather to St. Giles Cathedral. Exquisite architecture and ancient 16th century feel to it. Nat was singing in the choir and they did a brilliant job with all -time fav christmas hyms which sounded even more divine in that cathedral. At one point, I cried. hehe im such a sucker for peace n love on earth n shit.
There was a carol service in another place and it was a sing along this time! I so wanted to go but we got there and people were standing in the doorway coz it was so full . Couldn't deal with the cold so went to a cafe across the street and had a shot of extra strong machiatto (never again!) Over to Myles court thereafter whr thr was some hot mulled wine and mincemeat pies waiting. Just the thing to warm yourself in that frightful weather outside and to bring on the festive mood I do do love.:) Spend time belting out all the xmas favs like 'frosty the snowman' and 'winter wonderland' by the fireplace..with no fire sadly! Grand finale was ofcourse the excellent 'do they know its christmas time at all' by Band Aid( Various aritists)..just brilliant! We were trying to recognize voices. I only managed bono and sting...but sum of these guys were good...I mean who the hell knows what Boy George really sounds like?! apparently sum ppl actually do!! anyway...was good fun. Back to project appriasal now! But Santa's coming soon baby so is all goooood !! hohoho:)
