As mentioned last Friday, Sunday was the day of the #ScotBlogMeet which was hosted by the lovely Charlotte and it went amazingly and I am so proud of her. It was a great day and I had the chance to catch up with so many blogger pals. Also excitingly this weeks the wheels have been started on a potential trip next year down to the south of England to meet - for the first time - some of my English and Welsh blogger babes.
This weekend I'll be heading to the Vegan Festival in Edinburgh, anyone else heading through?
(Also this week: dorking about how all my links this week fit neatly into their own categories).

I'm a former waitress and the question of can you be a feminist and a waitress never really occurred to me.
I'm still a little bit behind on Orange is the New Black but here's an article that explores women - especially incarcerated women - and religion.
The best sex article I've read in ages: talking about people who aren't getting laid.
"I want to go to the future where people can have lots of sex if they want to, lots of sexual partners, where they can go through a drought and not worry about being a loser, where they can be asexual and not worry about being soulless."
I can't quite say Detroit has ever been on my to-visit list but then again Brooklyn wasn't on it until recently. Places, Out & About
Sarah Jessica Parker is selling her Manhattan Townhouse. It's predictably lovely.
Dundee now has a dedicated wine bar and another restaurant in the city will be hosting an American style silent reading party.
If you're in London but truthfully a bit of a country bumpkin, you should consider heading to these secret gardens.
