I noticed out of my office window yesterday that I’d still to pick up the bird table that got blown over on Friday night. It’s still to attract the attention of any little feathered friends, so I repositioned it nearer the garage where I can see it and restocked it with seed and bread. [...]

Two hours into my day already and the sun is breaking. I’ve been working on a “day job” implementation, i.e., running in new software to the mainframe. Menial and boring, but very well paid.
I felt myself coming down with a cold as the week wore on. Several overnight callouts has meant a lack of [...]

Last night was most relaxing. Laura and I ordered our pizzas (1 Hot and Spicy and 1 Chicken Supreme) and sat back to watch The Polar Express, always an enjoyable film. It takes me back to when I was a kid and had all that excitement in me—some would say still do because [...]

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 [...]
Today: St. Mirren versus Falkirk in Paisley, Depeche Mode at SECC in Glasgow.
Tomorrow: MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had our department Christmas lunch at Time 4 Thai on Castle Street in Edinburgh yesterday afternoon. I must have walked passed this restaurant a million times and never noticed it, but after a great meal I can imagine being back sometime soon.
As far as Thai food goes I’m not an expert. I know [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Not got much to say to today; it would only be adding to yesterday’s statement. I received some more sad news during the day making it hard to concentrate on things, when all I wanted to do was help someone in pain. I love you—you know who you are.
Autumn’s not begun the way [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The new Madness album arrived through my door yesterday. TOTAL MADNESS is a compilation of all Madness’ hits on CD and DVD, which for under a tenner is pretty good value. It comes in their 30th year and is, as always, spectacular. Can’t seem to get the CD out the case though, and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
