i came back through to perth yesterday with keith, we stopped in at sarah and gordon's place since brian and jacqui (my hosts) were there for dinner. gordon brought out five different bottles and offered me all of them. then he was talking about kilty pies (kelty pies?) and turns out it's just steak and gravy in a pie - easy peasy. i told him i'd make him one and he offered me more of everything. the scots certainly are the most hospitable people i've ever met.
today i just went down to the chippie for lunch (mmm, fried things) and i'm pretty sure i'm going to be gaining back everything i lost - everything here is fried and veg is rare. i'm doing my best though. i will get to cook some (made a lovely chicken and white sauce with rotini saturday night) so i put in veg every chance i get. mmm. can't wait to have sushi again when i get home. what veg there is is wayyyyy mushy and overcooked. but it's a small price to pay for the hospitality.
i'm going shopping in perth tomorrow for christmas presents, let's see what i can get at reasonable prices (£1 is $2 even - i'm getting royally done up the arse). but it will be fun poking around town by myself.
hope you're all doing well.
love, mcnabbs
