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 [...]

I logged on to the Edinburgh Book Festival website first thing yesterday morning, but my hopes of an early scan of the 2010 events programme was dashed when I found out it was a 12 noon launch. I had to wait. It was tortuous.
Eventually the EBF launch press release was announced and by [...]
A hard day yesterday as we cremated a colleague and friend from our office. A large fleet of cars made its way to Mortonhall Crematorium to say our last respects to Kerr Duncan, who died last Sunday. It was a terribly sad day but the turnout of mourners testament to the man whose life was [...]

Good day at work yesterday; busy, challenging, and one where some long-term results were finally realised. It’s the biggies that count most. I topped it off with a couple of pints of Guinness in Clark’s afterwards. Sorted.
Not much else done because the results I spoke of didn’t actually happen until between 7.30pm and [...]

I had a great time over at Lori Widmer’s blog, Words on the Page, yesterday. Lori hosted the first stop of my STELLA Blog Tour, and it was a whole lot of fun! Why not pop back and have a read if you missed it?

Friday at last.
I spent most of yesterday in meetings, one of which I almost fell asleep in. It was a combination of the night before and the fact I could not work out why I had even been invited; I never said a word during the entire hour.
I forgot to mention The Specials kicked [...]

Bags of energy this morning – and it was a pleasant morning. I drank my Zambian coffee in the back garden with the bunnies, smelling the damp dew on the grass and the heavy sea air lifting. I often forget just how close Edinburgh is to the ocean.
Day job was just the usual until [...]
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 [...]
Within an hour of getting up my head was splitting again. And it was the same kind of pain as yesterday; front right quarter of my skull. Not good, especially with the whole day still to go and the possibility of a couple of beers at the end of it. I think what I need [...]
