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 [...]

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 [...]

Arrived in work yesterday under grey clouds and heavy rain, to find signs at the front door indicating a critical incident was underway. The network was down and nobody could get logged in. It’s funny how lost one feels when the technology abandons us temporarily, a reminder perhaps that we used to live [...]

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 [...]

After Tuesday night up late working on the promotional material for STELLA, then Wednesday’s late one for a theatre visit with my wife, tiredness played a big part in my day yesterday. The day job dragged and I realised in the midst of it all that the week was dragging too. I kept [...]

Shattered. I was up late last night doing the promotional artwork for my impending Stella marketing campaign. I’ve ordered a whole bunch of juicy stuff that I will be using to promote the book from one week before it launches to the end of the Book Festival in August.
I’ve got postcards, flyers, [...]

Edinburgh is awash with blue skies as I sit down with my coffee to write this blog entry this morning. For a Monday, I’m feeling rather good about things and I think the weather looking outside my window may have something to do with it.
Being a fan of the cold and rain, or rather, [...]

The good thing about writing my blogs the following morning as opposed to the night before, is that I get to react faster to anything in the news that catches my eye. Even more so when a Sunday paper has held onto a juicy story to release it at the end of the [...]

Since I was feeling much better yesterday morning, I started the day off with a glorious bap containing a beautifully runny fried egg lain across a spicy and thick slice of black pudding. Washed down with a cup of tar from the coffee machine, it really was a breakfast of conflicting emotions.
Stella is [...]
It’s been almost a week since I last wrote in this blog, and what a week it’s been. It would appear I still haven’t learned to listen to my body when it tells me I’m running it into the ground, and as a result, I paid the price, yet again. I was laid up for [...]
