The behaviour of Scottish people at bus stops is very strange. Every place I’ve lived in Scotland over the years, I’ve noticed different patterns of behaviour. Not as part of some grand scientific experiment you understand, but merely as a gentle observation from years of relying on public transport to ferry me around [...]

It’s Monday morning, it’s cold outside, I’m leaving for work and I’m sore from the weekend. But best of all, I’m happy.
The last three days had much of what we have come to love about a Diners’ trip; endless laughter, non-stop slagging, ridiculous behaviour and an aperitif or two to whet our whistles. Our [...]

It was a weekend to remember; a weekend never to forget. From St. Mirren Park on Saturday (arguably forgettable) to Depeche Mode on Saturday night (definitely forgettable), and from the ska party in Glasgow on Sunday to the Madness gig itself, it was a great weekend topped off by one of the best Madness [...]

I could make a promise that I intend to start blogging daily again, but that would be not so much a lie as rather a promise I would be unable to keep. Such are the way of things at the moment I am simply unable to commit time to writing a blog [...]

As I stretch my neck up and look back, I peer fondly over what was my birthday weekend. If you remember, my actual birthday was in September, but the gifts bought for me by my two sisters had been coordinated to fall on this weekend. And it worked into a most memorable occasion.
First up [...]

I wrote some poetry last night, my first writing of any form for almost two weeks. It wasn’t great stuff but at least it was writing, as in, the pen transferring my thoughts onto the page.
It was a start. It felt familiar. It felt like sitting on a steam train that had scraped [...]

It’s a dank, drizzly day over Edinburgh and the only thing putting a spring in my step is the fact that today is Friday. And yesterday wasn’t a great day either, leaving me nothing much to talk about in my blog.
I got invited to a ska/bollywood birthday party in a couple of weeks but [...]

I remember when I lived in Glasgow I would get the feeling every now and then that the city was angry at something. Walking home after work some nights, it was as though the city itself, a living breathing entity in its own right, had had a bad day and the frustration it [...]

Glasgow was brilliant this weekend; family, laughter, food, drinks, and the weather held up, too. Not that it mattered once my posterior found its way onto my sister’s couch. It could have snowed a blizzard and I wouldn’t have noticed.
It was a relaxing journey through on the bus early on Saturday, listening to [...]

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 [...]

Although I was on standby for my day job all weekend, which meant I couldn’t really leave the house and go far, it didn’t put a spoiler on my weekend at all. In fact, it was a weekend to remember.
After the exhausting shift I put in on Friday, I slept well into the [...]

Hope you all enjoyed my special interview yesterday with Jenny Storm. If you missed it you can still read it here.
My email broke again yesterday morning. This time it was at my end and nothing to do with my provider. It was fine last night then suddenly a corrupt DLL error this morning. Thankfully [...]

I was forced to log on to the day job network at half past eleven on Tuesday night (after I’d written up and scheduled yesterday’s blog post), because of the downright arrogance of one of my colleagues – the contractor. Despite an earlier agreement made within the team, of which he was part, he [...]

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, [...]
