16. Rainbows
20 months ago
Have you ever heard the phrase, “four seasons in one day”? Well, in Scotland that phrase applies a lot. While it makes it pretty hard to plan your outfit etc (jacket/no jacket? cute shoes/boots? brolly/suntan lotion?), it does make for a lot of purdy rainbows :) I love seeing one in the morning on the way to work, as I have done several times in the last week! Even if I’m rushing and feeling hurried, seeing a rainbow stops me for a moment and calms me down, it’s such a lovely feeling.
Yesterday I was on a train with my brother and there were some amazing rainbows, one of which really looked like it was setting down in a field right by us! Anyway he’s a Physics student and he explained to me about double rainbows, where the first is as normal and then above it, with inverted colours, appears another.. I had no idea before, so from now on I’m going to keep a look out for that elusive second rainbow :) Oh and he also told me that if you were in a plane you might see a rainbow as a complete circle rather than an arc – I’m intrigued and I can’t wait to find one!

So the hotel I work for lets its staff stay over, and using a little inside knowledge I’ve requested the room not with the biggest bed, or the best view, but with the jacuzzi bath!! Oddly there’s only one – our hotel is made up of beautiful old townhouses and no two rooms are the same, apart from in the new wing. Anyway, I’m not going to bring candles (wouldn’t want to set off the fire alarms!), but I’m definitely bringing bubble bath and hehe, I can’t wait!! Yes, I’m sad, and no, I don’t care :)
Apparently the beds are ridiculously comfy too, so extra yay!

Eurgh, I do, it’s icky being overweight, it feels disgusting, it looks disgusting and leaves me with absolutely no pride in myself. I want to say, this is it – this is where it ends – but stupidly when I’m feeling this bad all I want to do is go into the kitchen and find that ice cream that’s in the freezer and take out my self pity on its yumminess :( I’m not going to though, or I’m going to try not to. I want to be thin, damnit! I want to look in the mirror and be ok with what looks back!
Gah!!
