I hope we've all had a good week, and are looking forward to the weekend. I'm heading down to Leeds tomorrow to visit one of my best friends from university for her birthday. I haven't been to Leeds since I took part in a charity hitchike in 2011 (see ugly 24-hour hitchiking photo here) and I'm yet to experience the nightlife so I'm looking forward to it ( but not looking forward to the journey back to Scotland with the hangover!).
But enough about me and my impending hangover, links!
