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 [...]

As I write this you are sleeping. The sun is far beyond the horizon, the birds are asleep, and not a house light is on as far as the eye can see. Except, that is, for the one in my office. The smell of coffee being made in my automatic coffee machine is [...]

It’s been a fine week. I’ve managed some good writing, made lots of progress and had a few successes at the day job, my DVD box set of The West Wing and The Bourne Trilogy arrived, and I got some free CDs in for review from some producers. All I need now [...]

It’s been a busy couple of days with not much writing done and that’s not because of day job work or anything, but purely personal choice.
On Tuesday I took the evening off and spent any spare time catching up on some reading, and last night, after being taken out with a couple of colleagues [...]

It’s definitely getting milder. The wearing of my bunnet is now becoming an unnecessary addition to my daily attire, although we’re not quite at the stage I can safely leave the house with it and risk freezing my napper to the bone. Still, it’s a sign that despite the snow two days [...]

Very slow day at work yesterday. Being so tired after such a relaxing time was always going to be tough to pick myself up from, but it was much harder than I envisaged. I struggled to remember things from before Christmas, forgot where keys on my keyboard were, and generally found it a [...]

When I said it was snowy yesterday I had no idea just how bad it was going to get. The snow yesterday was nothing compared to what I woke up to today! Yesterday was a mere sprinkling of icing on a bumpy cake, but today it’s a veritable smothering of thick white snow across [...]

Snow, snow, snow everywhere you look! Yesterday morning the thin layer of snow that had fallen on Sunday night had frozen to the ground, but last night as I looked out the window, a blanket of soft white snow was descending fast from the dark skies and layering Leith with its silkiness. This [...]

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’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 don’t know about you but yesterday seemed to drag. It was ages before the morning was out of the way, and then when the sun came out for the afternoon it only made things worse.
With the overall temperature dropping across Scotland, the heaters in work have been changed to come on in [...]

It’s a belter of a day outside. The sun is out, there’s no wind, and it puts me in mind to take a book out the back and read for the day. But there is work to be done—a lot of it.
I’m just back from my usual Saturday morning jaunt up town. I didn’t [...]

Arrived in work yesterday under grey clouds and heavy rain, to find signs at the front door indicating a critical incident was underway. The network was down and nobody could get logged in. It’s funny how lost one feels when the technology abandons us temporarily, a reminder perhaps that we used to live [...]

I didn’t really have much to say about Tuesday so I skipped a blog post. Hope you don’t mind. No point in writing about nothing, thought I, and instead put my efforts into making sure it didn’t happen again.
It rained for the best part of Tuesday, all through the night and all day [...]
