Aprons and Castles

Hello everyone.

(I couldn’t think of a new introduction so this will do.)

It’ll have to be another life-update post as I have been too busy this week to sit and plan a more adventurous one. However, I do have a few ideas linked with my Youtube Channel that I’m excited to try in the near future.

So this Sunday I had my first day at my new job and I arrived on the busiest day they've had so far. Typical. This meant I fluttered around trying to find things to do as everyone tried to explain their system in the little free time they had. It was fine though and I still learned a lot. It was on Monday that I began my real training and I can honestly say I really enjoy working there. It’s such a friendly, relaxed environment - even when it’s busy. Everyone helps each other when they have a free moment and it just works.

Tuesday and Wednesday were my days off work. I would have liked to have just chilled out or got some things done but I still had art to do (nearly finished now though!). It almost seems never-ending. However I did get an un-planned rest yesterday when I went for a costume scavenger hunt at our Island’s castle for the school play with our school play’s director and a friend. This year we’re doing The Importance of Being Earnest and my part is a female version of the character ‘Merriman’-a housekeeper. This meant we needed authentic looking maid costumes for mine and the other maids’ parts hence the reason we pulled on our Island’s resources and went to the castle. It was like being a child playing fancy dress with all the beautiful dresses and accessories. My costume is a black dress with a white apron and I love it!

The castle isn’t the only place that is donating props to our play; the director has sourced various plants and pieces of furniture from different businesses on Arran to feature in the show -one of the many benefits of living on a small Island.

Anyway, I stray from the story. When we had found our costumes and got into the director’s car, it wouldn't start. I wasn't complaining though because it meant we were ‘forced’ to spend more time at the castle on a lovely sunny day.

In other news, I’ve recently become very aware that I am long over-due a new video on my channel. This will be one of my priorities once my art is finally all done and dusted. If you’d like to visit my channel there is a link HERE).

So that’s this week so far. Not so many exciting things to talk about but still a busy week. Hopefully next week will be a little more interesting as my art should be packed and sent away finally and I’ll hopefully have a shift with my friend who has also recently started where I work-if they can cope with two people who are not really sure what they’re doing working at the same time.

I hope you’ve had a great week and if you have any topics you’d like me to talk about in a future blog post then please leave a comment below.

Mollie
