Scotland’s last minute loss to Wales at rugby on Saturday was a huge blow. For the first time in a long time Scotland played like a team that knew what they were doing. With no fear and renewed determination, they seemed to have picked up their game under the stewardship of Andy Robinson, and [...]

I really need to do something to cheer this blog up so I’ll begin with a short review of my recent trip away to Fuengirola in Spain. I went away with the determination to refresh myself and let my hair down and for the most part I achieved it.
I drank [...]

I did intend on blogging over the weekend but as fate had it I never really got around to it. I awoke on Saturday morning up with a slightly dicky tummy. May have been the copious amounts of Guinness I drank on Friday afternoon, may have been the ‘Full House’ pizza from Domino’s [...]

I remember it like yesterday. It was a normal working day until an email from a friend on a day off, arrived in my inbox: “A plane just hit the World Trade Centre.”
Most of us thought it was a stupid email joke until the phones starting ringing, several more emails arrived, and the [...]

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 [...]

Many thanks to Diane Parkin for having me over at her blog yesterday. If you missed it, head on over for what was an in-depth look at the development of STELLA.
Today I am feeling rather polarised. On one hand I am excited about my impending trip to Blackpool with my best mate, a trip [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The weather could not have been nicer this weekend. From Saturday morning until Sunday night the sun shone, the sky was blue, and everyone seemed to get a lift from the summer-come-early weather. The last couple of years’ springs and summers have been pretty dire affairs, but the three years prior started similar [...]

Not a good day to be a Scotland rugby fan, but the defeat to England at Twickenham wasn’t exactly unexpected. This year’s Six Nations Chamionship ended as bad as it could do for us losing in the Calcutta Cup.
I didn’t decide until late on I was going to watch the game because I [...]

I hope you all had a great Valentine’s weekend whatever you chose to do – and whoever with.
Gail and I had a nice time yesterday. Our initial plan had been to drop Laura off at her Gran’s house, go and see an afternoon movie, then come home and have a few drinks and [...]

Laura and her pals never woke until later in the morning. Not surprising given the time they were up to last night. I eventually fell asleep around 1am, though it wasn’t easy.
When I got up this morning I made some lovely fresh Columbian coffee, ate a bagel, then went round to the shop [...]

The first half my day in ten syllables: relaxing, enjoyable, fulfilling.
The second half of my day in ten syllables: frustrating, disastrous, calamitous.
I kicked things off by heading up town in the morning, but instead of going alone I took Gail. It was a chilly morning, but nice and bright so perfect weather for walking [...]

It was -5 degrees Centigrade here last night, roughly translated as bloody baltic. Not only did my bunnies have to have their heat pads ramped up to full for the duration, but I covered their hutch with plastic sheeting to keep their body heat in. Poor wee souls, but they seemed unaffected when I [...]
