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 [...]

It’s Monday morning, it’s cold outside, I’m leaving for work and I’m sore from the weekend. But best of all, I’m happy.
The last three days had much of what we have come to love about a Diners’ trip; endless laughter, non-stop slagging, ridiculous behaviour and an aperitif or two to whet our whistles. Our [...]

I’ve been right under the cosh this week at work. Boring stuff so I won’t go on about it, needless to say it involved some late night shifts, one which saw me start at 8am and not get to my bed until 4am the following morning. Oh, what fun and japes.
As I type [...]

Yesterday was the kind of Saturday I’ve needed for quite some time. If I could have wished for a better feeling come the twilight of the afternoon, then I got what I desired. It was a nice day but not all that exciting. It was low level boring stuff to most, but for [...]

I never got a chance to post yesterday. Shit happens. By the time I got back in from work time was ticking on and I could still have made it to my writer’s group. Other things transpired, however, and it ended up being a late night pour moi. Tired beyond belief, I slept in [...]

Thankfully the roads were clear enough to get buses down them by the time I left work last night. It took me a fraction of the time to get home compared to yesterday morning’s walk into work. My thighs are sore from the exercise and I had to scrape off the kitchen roll [...]

When I said it was snowy yesterday I had no idea just how bad it was going to get. The snow yesterday was nothing compared to what I woke up to today! Yesterday was a mere sprinkling of icing on a bumpy cake, but today it’s a veritable smothering of thick white snow across [...]

I really need to do something to cheer this blog up so I’ll begin with a short review of my recent trip away to Fuengirola in Spain. I went away with the determination to refresh myself and let my hair down and for the most part I achieved it.
I drank [...]

‘Tis the eve of Halloween and all around mysterious things are happening. Work has pretty much taken over everything I’ve been doing, and there are things happening in the day job just now that I must attend to. I’ve not dropped the ball with absolutely everything though, and have managed to keep a [...]

One of my things I decided to pay more attention to this year was keeping up the level of submissions I have out and ensuring they get turned around after a rejection as quickly as possible. It doesn’t always happen, but generally speaking I’ve kept to the discipline, also managing to include more [...]

Glasgow was brilliant this weekend; family, laughter, food, drinks, and the weather held up, too. Not that it mattered once my posterior found its way onto my sister’s couch. It could have snowed a blizzard and I wouldn’t have noticed.
It was a relaxing journey through on the bus early on Saturday, listening to [...]

Today must have been one of the longest endured for time spent in the office. The morning raced by—I was so busy I didn’t have time to think—but the afternoon? The afternoon seemed to just crawl by, I’m sure I saw the second hand on my watch go backwards when I looked at it [...]

Welcome, dear readers, to the first blog post on ‘Freedom from the Mundane’ for over a fortnight. Just when you thought it was safe to direct your angst-ridden browsers to my blog, in the false hope that I had been cast adrift somewhere in the Med, I have but returned, full of chirpy [...]

In about three and a half hours I will be leaving for Edinburgh Airport. From there I will fly to Palma, Majorca, where I will get on board a floating city and cruise the Mediterranean Sea for the next fortnight. Am I excited? A touch. Do I feel like I need it? Absolutely.
It’s been [...]
