Before I get stuck into yesterday’s goings on at the Edinburgh Book Festival, I want to say a humongous thanks to everyone who has emailed and tweeted me to express their enjoyment of my book festival blogging and tweeting. It’s an unexpected but deliriously welcome compliment.
And now here comes the plug: If you want [...]

I’ve decided what I’ll submit to the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust’s programme for reading slots at this year’s Edinburgh Book Festival. I wanted it to be something punchy, engaging and would prove a good advert.
I had two stories immediately in mind. I was cut between LETTING GO, a sad story [...]

It was a scorching weekend—Scotland’s summer came early this year and now we (us Scots) are all heading back to work sporting skin all shades of pink and red the spectrum has to offer. Yes, we know how to handle the sun.
Saturday saw me up town in the morning to enjoy a [...]

I was a total waste of space yesterday. Having stayed up through the night until 6am I was woken at 9 by the postman and never managed to get back into it again. Three hours was all I managed, and once I had accepted the fact I was up, it took several coffees and [...]

I don’t have a lot of time this morning so this will have to be a quick post, I’m afraid. I’m heading up to Perth for lunchtime to see my sister’s family and I’ve got to run an emergency errand first. Time is tight!
With only one day left of campaigning all the political [...]

Long week it has been and I’ve not been feeling too great at all. I’m not sure if I came down with something or if I was just generally run down, but for the latter half I felt like crap. Headaches, dodgy stomach and a desire to sleep constantly, I was in bed [...]

Several pints of cold lager were had on Friday evening in my favourite haunt, Clark’s Bar, so much that by Saturday morning I was feeling a touch on the rough side. Not quite sure how it happened myself, but it had been one of those weeks that required some alcohol to start the wind [...]

I’m shattered. My eyes hurt, my head is sore, I have that run down snivelly thing going on and I want to sleep for hours while at the same time go out and let my hair down. Maybe I can do both. Scotland are playing England at rugby in the Six Nations Championship [...]

I finished work around 6:30am yesterday but was so tired opted to go back to bed for 90-minutes. It paid off. I felt much better after the extra nap. When I got up for the second time it was still raining but I felt like a ray of sunshine. *barf*
One thing I forgot [...]

It’s been a busy couple of days with not much writing done and that’s not because of day job work or anything, but purely personal choice.
On Tuesday I took the evening off and spent any spare time catching up on some reading, and last night, after being taken out with a couple of colleagues [...]

Would you believe that after all the trials and tribulations of getting my new pair of glasses sorted they STILL aren’t ready? Yesterday morning when I went to collect them, although they did manage to get the lenses made with no errors, the manufacturers sent them back in the WRONG frames!
Just my luck [...]

Scotland’s last minute loss to Wales at rugby on Saturday was a huge blow. For the first time in a long time Scotland played like a team that knew what they were doing. With no fear and renewed determination, they seemed to have picked up their game under the stewardship of Andy Robinson, and [...]

The behaviour of Scottish people at bus stops is very strange. Every place I’ve lived in Scotland over the years, I’ve noticed different patterns of behaviour. Not as part of some grand scientific experiment you understand, but merely as a gentle observation from years of relying on public transport to ferry me around [...]

Being a St. Mirren fan doesn’t usually give one anything much to ever shout about. It sort of comes with the territory. Today, however, all that is different.
Being a west-coaster in the land of mainly Hearts and Hibernian fans is usually a bit of a pain, as they try to justify why they are [...]
