Who Ate All The Pie?

Image: Cyron

A group of us from the office went out for lunch yesterday to Thomson’s Pub on Morrison Street. It’s a traditional Edinburgh bar with a very nice pint, but it’s also famous for one other thing—pies! People come from miles around, and indeed, we travelled from the other side of Edinburgh to get there, [...]

Had Enough Of Computers

The writing and posting of this blog entry will be my only foray to my PC today. I need to get away from the screen for a few hours after a week doing nothing else but watching cursors and thinking technology. One needs to step away.
I forwent my usual Saturday morning gander [...]

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 [...]

The Big Yin Comes Home

Image: BC

I actually forgot to blog on Saturday morning. When I got up, I got tore into my “to-do” list for the day and stayed in the zone all day, and I just forgot to do it. When I first remembered it was mid-afternoon and I was lost in other work so I just left [...]

A Good Day’s Work

Image: foundphotoslj

Check out my interview with Blazing Trailers, which was posted on their website yesterday. There were some good questions
Also, if you missed it, check out my gig review in Sunday’s News of the World, this week Theoretical Girl.
Good day’s work yesterday all round. The management have recognised my writing skils and have asked me [...]

Turning The Page

Image: Akshay

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday’s interview with Christina Katz, and probably the break from my insane ramblings. She’s an interesting writer and her book looks like a great investment if you’re a writer and have books out or coming out. I’m certainly ordering my copy!
I seem to have a lot of news for [...]

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 [...]

Bolt The Doors

Image: edinburghguide.com

I had to skip yesterday’s blog post purely because of work pressures—day job and external. None of it you would have found interesting and I was too busy/tired to write the damn thing up anyway.
It’s good to be busy, though, and it’s the kind of work I am really enjoying—day job and external. No [...]

Polarised

Image: popsci.com

Many thanks to Diane Parkin for having me over at her blog yesterday. If you missed it, head on over for what was an in-depth look at the development of STELLA.
Today I am feeling rather polarised. On one hand I am excited about my impending trip to Blackpool with my best mate, a trip [...]

Clockwise

Image: FMD

Check me out today over at the blog of freelance writer, photo journalist, and long-time cyber buddy, Diane Parkin!!! I’ll be answering questions all day after what was a very different and interesting interview to do, so please check it out.
I seemed to be running late by at least 90 minutes to the rest [...]

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 [...]
