Finding it hard to adjust to normal life again. I had a job interview today - first for 12 years! But didn't get it - think they decided I was over-qualified, they mentioned that. Oh well, another 2 or 3 in the pipeline plus my baking duties waiting.
So anyway, for the first time I came home and did NOTHING! Sat on the sofa and finished my book, watching the dark get even darker. Isn't it great when you get back from an unexpectedly sunny holiday and find your home place has been dark and wet and dreich the whole time you've been away?
Oh, by the way, I passed Alex Salmond on my way back to the car! Off duty from the looks of things, chatting animatedly with a bevy of women (don't know if he knew them or they were sycophants). Would've loved to go up and ask him if he genuinely thinks independence the best thing for Scotland, and how he proposes we would pay for it once the oil runs out in about 10-20 years. But I succumbed to British reticence and merely glanced as I walked by (he glanced too, I may say - understandably, I was looking good in my interview suit with my hair up!)
Still, it's not often you see the most recognised political face in Scotland outside Boots in the Bon Accord Centre!
