The advent of yet more school holidays has seen me working my day job mornings from home this week. Honestly, the amount of holidays kids in Edinburgh get leads me to conclude why a large percentage of Edinburgh University’s intake comes from outside the city. There seems to be more of [...]

I missed Groundhog Day on Tuesday. I only know about it because of the Bill Murray film of the same title. I love that film—think I’ll have to get a copy and watch it soon. As it turns out in real life, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter. I could have seen [...]

I never got a chance to post yesterday. Shit happens. By the time I got back in from work time was ticking on and I could still have made it to my writer’s group. Other things transpired, however, and it ended up being a late night pour moi. Tired beyond belief, I slept in [...]

Busy; that about sums it up. Work, work, work but it’s been at a good pace this week so I’ve not been burning myself out as I have felt I have been doing recently. And I’m lapping up literature, which can’t be bad either.
I’ve not been sleeping too great this week. I’ve found myself [...]

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 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 a particularly long blog post today as yesterday was swamped. As Monday’s in the day job go, it was a mad one, though I was expecting it as the rota has been packed out for a few days now. Typical it would have to be my week on the “day shift” when it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pretty tired this morning. Not from being up extraordinarily late last night but from a very early start this morning. There’s a lot happening today ranging from training courses to writing and a fair bit of website work, so I wanted to get a head start on everything.
I’ve just wolfed down a roll with [...]

The Poetry Super Highway’s Annual E-Book Free-For-All was announced yesterday. Run by Rick Lupert, it’s a crazy project in which poetry e-books are produced and made freely available to all interested humans on Earth for a 24 hour period – 1st May.
I’ll be taking part this year. I missed out last year because [...]

I woke up feeling a lot lighter on my feet and freer in my head after yesterday’s announcement. When I got stuck into preparing my GDR review for March I realised I had actually gotten through more than I realised, just not of the stuff I would rather have, but that will change.
There [...]

I arrived in work this morning hoping for an easy start to the day but getting the exact opposite. With a critical incident on our shores I was thrown cold into the deep end, and spent the best part of the day on the phone, in meetings, and running fixes. It was not in [...]
