Greetings from Scotland

Getting towards the end of my week in Scotland and omg I needed this so badly. It's been a nice mix of chilled out days at home and venturing out to be in nature.

I'm slowly weaning myself back into doing 'normal' things. Parents took me to a cafe which is the first time I've eaten out since last March. Was a bit nervous but it was totally fine. They got everyone to sanitise their hands before they showed us to a table, and they got us to fill in our contact details for track and trace.

We went to another cafe yesterday but it was a nice day so we sat outside for that. Also fine.

And that's about it really. When I told my parents this was my first full week off in over a year they've been really good about letting me lie in and not cramming tons into our days so I can have a rest as well.

Picnic tomorrow and then I'm heading home after lunch on Sunday.

I told myself I was going to take this week off from writing but I am kind of missing it. I made the mistake of starting a new fic the day before I left to come up here and I'm itching to work on it some more. I don't think I'll have time before I head home though but I'll get back into my regular routine on Monday.

I've also finally finished the Heaven Official's Blessing novel. It took me six months of reading it every day and it was a struggle in the middle but the last couple of books were excellent so I ended up really enjoying it. Since then I've finished two other books that I was halfway through and I've started the first Lost Tomb novel. It's such an easy read compared to Heaven Official's Blessing but I suppose it helps that I'm familiar with the story and the characters.
