My planned weekend at the Edinburgh Book Festival fell apart at the seams due to unforeseen circumstances. Higher priorities took over that meant everything else had to be cancelled at short notice or rearranged. It was just one of those things that had to happen.
Of the seven events and several hours meeting people, reading [...]

I started yesterday off with a good deed and I felt like was on a bit of a high for the rest of the day. A lady sat on the top deck of the bus as it moved along the route through Leith into Edinburgh. I noticed two tags sticking out from under her [...]

So yesterday was my 7th wedding anniversary. Seven years with Gail. The remarkable thing looking at it, is that of all our friends who said we’d never make it because we “bicker too much” or “are both too fiery for our own good”, we’re the ones still going strong while the rest (and there [...]

Did anyone notice the funny faux pas in yesterday’s post? “I’ve never actually been to Cornwall, Devon…” Gee, how I laughed when I noticed the English county confusion I caused.
I thought for today’s post I would do something a bit different. While reading yesterday’s Telegraph I found a series of questions asked to [...]

I quite enjoyed the day job yesterday. My new ability to retain in almost Buddhist-like calmness, seems to be confusing a few people and it’s interesting to see other’s reactions when I don’t rise or become flustered. I wonder how long it’ll last? I keep expecting it to wear off any minute.
I was half [...]

All that stuff about Leith in yesterday’s blog post has been building for a while. I had to get it off my chest. I go through good periods and bad periods with Leith (and to a lesser extent Edinburgh) and although there’s a good period coming up with the Edinburgh Book Festival, Leith is [...]

The first Saturday at home since I got back from Portugal and boy, did I make this one count. I headed into Edinburgh shortly after 9am and got to work.
First stop was the book shop, where I’d ordered AMERICA LIBRE by Raul Ramos, a recommendation for my holiday reading that never came through [...]

At times, I had no clue what time of the day it was never mind the day of the week. And that was when the holiday hit its peak for me. This past year has been very busy on a personal and work level and so my main aim to be able to [...]

Yesterday was a white wash and it was all my own fault. I take full blame—well, most of it—and accept the part I played in this particular downfall.
Wednesday night was one of those nights you just don’t want to end. The banter and laughter was pure and raucous, the adventures were exciting, and [...]

I’m struggling to sleep again. The last two nights I was up after midnight in the knowledge I had to get up at 5am for work. As time dragged on, I started to feel the pressure and became more aware I was losing time and couldn’t push my time of rising any [...]

I had a much more productive and pleasant trip up town yesterday morning. Just like the day before, I was up early but this time I took the chance of a quiet house to enjoy a slow breakfast in the garden and catch up with the latest news and my email. After enough time [...]

I went into Edinburgh in the rain yesterday. Well, not so much rain, more of a dank drizzle that my Harrington absorbed like a sponge. My intention was simple: buy some holiday clothes, checkout a couple of recommended books and grab a coffee. Nothing is ever that simple, though.
Ever wondered why middle-aged men [...]

I started to feel quite run down towards the end of last week and after my last blog post on Saturday felt really quite rubbish. So I downed tools and took a pit stop, a little time out for myself. I figured a day and a half downtime and cut off from the Internet [...]
