Long day yesterday, which by the end of it I’d to deteriorated into fatigue induced sickness. Nothing serious, mind you, just that I felt sicker the more the day the wore on until I had to admit defeat and collapse into my bed by 9.30pm. Not like me, but hey-ho.
The day job [...]

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 [...]

As the title says, I’m back but not for long. I think I’m just about ready for a break.
My weekend away turned into a bit of a nightmare. Just as things had started off so well after travelling down to Newcastle on Thursday evening, when we arrived in Blackpool, the weekend was turned [...]

There’s still time to win a free copy of STELLA over at Cate Masters’ blog. You have until tomorrow to head over to http://catemasters.blogspot.com and leave a comment.
Things were somewhat more relaxed in the office yesterday. I’m still spinning plates but made good progress with some work. I took a slightly extended lunch (for [...]

I was forced to log on to the day job network at half past eleven on Tuesday night (after I’d written up and scheduled yesterday’s blog post), because of the downright arrogance of one of my colleagues – the contractor. Despite an earlier agreement made within the team, of which he was part, he [...]

Well the Buddies got beat; another semi-final disappointment, this time at the hands of the Forces of Darkness. As far as footie matches go it wasn’t one of the best, but St Mirren, I felt, could have taken better advantage over one of the weakest Rangers sides I’ve ever seen. With a team full [...]

I write this with a sore head, a dry tongue, and a strong desire to be back in bed. But hey, you only live once, and yesterday was a fine day to be out on a wee tour of Edinburgh’s finest quaffing establishments with one’s friends.
It was pretty manic around the office for most [...]

Nice and early start on Saturday, made all the better with the knowledge it was only day 2 of my extended weekend. One of Gail’s pals had crashed over for the night – their night not ending until after 3am – so I took Laura to her dance lessons and came home, made [...]
I was hoping to get time to post before leaving for the weekend but it isn’t going to happen.
I’m leaving for York soon so have a great weekend y’all – I sure know I will!!
Bring it on!

I’m still buzzing from the gig on Monday night and I struggled to get to sleep last night for Prodigy songs rattling around inside my head. It’s always a sign of a good gig when you can’t let go of the euphoric feelings that come with the highs of the performance.
Morning meant day [...]

Today is my last full post until Sunday night. Tomorrow when I leave the office I’ll be heading through to Glasgow on my way to a small village on the south coast of Spain. Naturally, I shall miss you all very much, and so by some small way of compensation, I’d like to announce [...]
For the second year running we were lucky to have some fine weather over the September holiday weekend. This year, for our annual family weekend trip away, we found ourselves in Ayrshire, staying in a two-bedroom static caravan at the Sandylands Holiday Park, near Saltcoats, Ayrshire.
Once again we took one of Laura’s pals with us, [...]
I’m still stoked about baby Charlotte. You couldn’t wipe the smile off my face today even with a Brillo Pad dipped in formaldehyde.
I got some writing done, all of it transferring text from my notebook into Word of my new novella. Now I’ve began I’m unsure if it will expand to a novel length piece [...]
Not a writing day.
Today was my last day in the division of I.S. that I have worked for the past 9 years and 9 months. On Monday I begin in a new division, new boss, and new working culture – doing the same job. It’ll be different eventually, probably, maybe, but who’s counting.
Yesterday my team [...]
