Broken Hearts (Fans)

Image: bbc.co.uk

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 [...]

Relaxing Productive

Image: Linis Bohman

It was a productive weekend. I swapped my Saturday and Sunday routines around so I could have a lie on Saturday morning. I needed it—really needed it—and it paid off. When I arose the infernal tiredness had gone and I was feeling great about life. Lots of things to do and I had [...]

A Busy Week

Image: Heavenawaits

Busy; that about sums it up. Work, work, work but it’s been at a good pace this week so I’ve not been burning myself out as I have felt I have been doing recently. And I’m lapping up literature, which can’t be bad either.
I’ve not been sleeping too great this week. I’ve found myself [...]

A Mad, Mad World

Image: hammerhouse

Not a particularly long blog post today as yesterday was swamped. As Monday’s in the day job go, it was a mad one, though I was expecting it as the rota has been packed out for a few days now. Typical it would have to be my week on the “day shift” when it [...]

Theoretical Reviews

I don’t know about you but yesterday seemed to drag. It was ages before the morning was out of the way, and then when the sun came out for the afternoon it only made things worse.
With the overall temperature dropping across Scotland, the heaters in work have been changed to come on in [...]

Home-Based Writing Retreat

Image: Will Cheyney

I worked late into the night last night. One minute it was a warm and sunny day, my coffee was tasty, the words were flowing, and the bunnies were hopping around in the back garden. The next minute the sky was black, the house lay in darkness, the bunnies were sitting fearful, and [...]

Burning a Hole

Image: Liz West

I nearly never went to the ‘Ten at Ten’ event at the Edinburgh Book Festival yesterday morning, but I’m glad I did. When I got up around 7am I was tired and just wanted to sleep. But I also didn’t want to waste the day. So I forced myself into gear and off [...]

What If Moments

Image: Unknown

Woke up yesterday with a bit of a cold; stuffed head and nose, sneezing, heavy eyes—you know they type of thing. Maybe I’m working too hard. Or more likely it was because I went to bed topless and woke up during the night shivering after the gales had started.
I’ve been going through a heavy [...]

Thinking – A Lot Of Thinking

Image: Wonderlane

I didn’t sleep much last night, my stomach still turning over in spasm and gurgles. I tried to eat some bread and consume a cup of tea about an hour before putting out my light last night, but it didn’t sound like it was sitting too well. I hardly ate yesterday at all, and [...]

Not Very Interesting

Image: sillygwailo

Thank God it’s Friday. Good moods abounded early on today, with several parts of the universe experiencing extreme levels of excitement and fun. Gratefully, I was happy to be in the middle of one of them.
Not that anything particularly exciting happened during my day: I got up, wrote and drank coffee, went to work, [...]

Reaching Out

Image: Drew (lanuiop)

Week 1 of January gone, and although I’m busy on the writing front, in the day job, and in my home life, I’m struggling with content for my blog posts. Nothing controversial is happening anywhere in my life or in Scotland that could provoke me into voicing an opinion – everything just seems [...]

The Prodigious Prodigy

Image: Britannica

I got back from a couple of days through in Glasgow around 4pm today; sore, weary, but very happy. The reason for my visit was to stay at my sister’s flat, do some catching up, and go to a gig that Lindsay had bought tickets for me for my birthday in September.
We went to [...]

Seven Things About Me

Image: Kevin Dooley

Early start to the day. My content editor at TLB emailed me overnight wondering where the latest batch of articles I had assigned to me were. I got them proofed and proofed and sent off sharpish.
Day job was 10+hours again. I’m fairly building up a healthy amount of flex but the good news [...]

Angry And Frustrated

Image: Cuban1963

It’s been a pretty bad couple of days. Buggering my ankle wasn’t the best thing to happen, especially after the problems I’ve had with my right leg this year. It’s just been one thing after another – one very painful thing after another.
I’ve written very little, which has only served to worsen my mood. [...]
