Several pints of cold lager were had on Friday evening in my favourite haunt, Clark’s Bar, so much that by Saturday morning I was feeling a touch on the rough side. Not quite sure how it happened myself, but it had been one of those weeks that required some alcohol to start the wind [...]

I’m shattered. My eyes hurt, my head is sore, I have that run down snivelly thing going on and I want to sleep for hours while at the same time go out and let my hair down. Maybe I can do both. Scotland are playing England at rugby in the Six Nations Championship [...]

I finished work around 6:30am yesterday but was so tired opted to go back to bed for 90-minutes. It paid off. I felt much better after the extra nap. When I got up for the second time it was still raining but I felt like a ray of sunshine. *barf*
One thing I forgot [...]

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 was gutted to discover Spotify doesn’t have any of the classic De La Soul album, Three Feet High and Rising on its free database. A quick click on Play.com soon sorted that out. I used to listen to that album a lot in the early 90s, it contained many of the anthems [...]

A most satisfying weekend. I worked on several projects over the course of Saturday and Sunday, with BACCARA BURNING and SILLY POEMS FOR WEE PEOPLE VOL.2 bearing the brunt of my manic pencil. Things are moving nicely now; productivity and creativity are running side by side like two Cheetahs tied at the waist.
I never [...]

Good day at work yesterday; busy, challenging, and one where some long-term results were finally realised. It’s the biggies that count most. I topped it off with a couple of pints of Guinness in Clark’s afterwards. Sorted.
Not much else done because the results I spoke of didn’t actually happen until between 7.30pm and [...]

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 had an excellent weekend; just what I needed to relax me, stimulate me, and provide a watershed between what was a pretty dire month and what I want to do with March. I’ll talk about how each one happened.
On Saturday morning I got up at the crack of dawn, made some fresh coffee [...]

It took around 20 minutes from waking up to remember that I sold Stella yesterday, and that it is going to be published. It’s a great feeling, and today when I actually signed the contract, I felt like I had achieved something; an unexpected step forward at a time when it couldn’t have [...]
Saturday
Well, well, well! For those of you who don’t already know, on Saturday Scotland beat the mighty bulldogs of England by 15 points to 9, sending them scampering back down south with their tails between their legs. For the second home game against England in succession, Scotland took the honours, and both times, the Calcutta [...]
Knackered.
I got into the day job at a decent time, but it was a struggle to get out of bed. Nice weather to get up to though; sunny and bright, but chilly and fresh – just the way I like it. By the time I left work later on, it was raining and bitterly cold. [...]
Easy start to the day; breakfast and shower around 10, walked round for the papers half an hour later, drank some coffee, chilled out. Lots done inside the house later on; some much needed reorganisation to a) keep the house tidy and b) to keep my mind from getting cluttered.
I started off with clearing the [...]
I had me a wee lie in until about 10 o’clock this morning. With the pressure of deadlines against the day job, the last couple of nights have seen me flop into bed exhausted. I slept solid and felt great for it this morning.
With renewed vitality and badly in need of a wee change of [...]
