Would you believe that after all the trials and tribulations of getting my new pair of glasses sorted they STILL aren’t ready? Yesterday morning when I went to collect them, although they did manage to get the lenses made with no errors, the manufacturers sent them back in the WRONG frames!
Just my luck [...]

At one point on Wednesday I sent out a tweet that read “I’m having a great day!” And it was: I was rocketing through my project work at the day job, solved two complicated high priority system problems, and was on a general high from all the progress I’d made with my [...]

I took Tuesday morning off work for one reason or another. I worked from home but it was a bit of a drag having to go in at all through all the ice and snow come lunchtime. Such is the way, I suppose, but I discovered that Lothian Buses have made some New Year [...]

When I said it was snowy yesterday I had no idea just how bad it was going to get. The snow yesterday was nothing compared to what I woke up to today! Yesterday was a mere sprinkling of icing on a bumpy cake, but today it’s a veritable smothering of thick white snow across [...]

If I ever wanted the perfectly worse day to follow a Specials gig, Friday achieved it. Instead of being able to skulk away and work quietly on my own work, thereby giving me time to get over my aches, pains and significant hangover, I had to get involved in some major shit. It [...]

I struggled to get out of bed yesterday and was late for work by a few minutes as a result. I hate being late, but I think the lengthy shifts I’ve been putting in has started catching up with me. I could do with a couple of days off mid-week just to redress [...]

Yesterday was about as good a Saturday as I’ve ever had for a long time, teeing up what looks like finishing up to be a cracker of a weekend. It had—and is going to have—everything I would want out of living in Edinburgh: coffee, reading, the Book Festival, family time, St Mirren in [...]

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 [...]

I’m still reeling over Twitter. The whole thing has left me feeling sick to my stomach, so I’m letting Twitter go for a while. I’ll maybe go back to it some point in the future if I can be assured it won’t happen again. Despite it being an online attack it’s still dented my [...]

Edinburgh was mobbed yesterday morning with various events on in the city all at once. Not only was it the second day of the Fringe Festival—the first Saturday therefore the first really busy day—but I saw several stag and hen parties, one wedding, and several hundred Sunderland fans in town for a friendly match [...]

Lovely day over Edinburgh yesterday; sunny, warm, and it felt oddly like a Friday.
I had a busy day in the office as my workload increases and I find myself being pushed into newer and higher profile areas. All good clean fun but the meetings once ends up in can be less than interesting [...]

There’s still time to win a free copy of STELLA over at Cate Masters’ blog. You have until 8pm EST to head over to http://catemasters.blogspot.com and leave a comment. In reality, I’ll be asleep at that time (1am BST) so I’ll do the draw first thing tomorrow morning.
I’ve had a great weekend. After [...]

Anyone who lives or was visiting any part of the British Isles over the past two days, will know it is no understatement when I say the weather has been nothing short of Mediterranean. Even today as I sit in my squalid office, I look outside and once again the skies are blue and [...]
