  • Next…

    Spent an hour and half this morning writing up my 2011 diary, the band diary & the kitchen calendar although it has to be said a fair part of that was wasted on trying to decipher the revised arrangements for refuse collections in West Fife.  For anyone else out there, put it out and leave…

  • Team Spirit

    Had out office meal out last night at Tempus in George Street, the meal was lovely and the service excellent, so thanks to Jill for organising that one.  Sadly for the second time I missed out on the ritual of trying on Bruce’s glasses, but it was more important to catch the train before the…

  • Nothing to do with the weather

    Here is a picture of Olivia Bremner with her Great Great Uncle Alex.

  • Monday

    Well, what a trauchle it was to get to work and home again today.  I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to more of the same tomorrow.   That’s because I am not, at all. Paul is downstairs trying to set up a meeting by Skype for his astro club, their meeting…

  • Hors de combat

    Sunday finds your correspondent in the grip of a mystery ailment, I won’t go into details but it’s like having three different things wrong with you at once.   However, baby Callum is here telling stories.

    First class.  Another week in Northumberland, one of the country’s unsung  jewels.   Even although the weather was atrocious for most of the time, we blethered, cooked, swam and shopped.  It’s a tremendous getaway, what with the quizzes and bingo, we love it.

  • Spinal tap

    Tonight I went along to my Pilates class feeling like death warmed up.  I am on holiday next week and am rather busy making sure that all my work tasks are up to speed.  Every night this week I have fallen into bed and snored through to 6 a.m.  The dark nights are also having…

  • Netiquette

    It’s difficult when I am excited about going somewhere not to rave on about it here, since it’s fairly dumb to advertise when we will be away.  It all has a fairly retrospective feel to it.   So, I can’t tell you about our upcoming holiday which will be sometime this year,  somewhere in England, or…

  • See food, eat it

    Here is Paul on his birthday at the Dakota Hotel near South Queensferry, with his trencher of seafood.

  • Friday evening

    Taking up the opportunity to chill after yet another fairly busy week at work.  Listening to Steven Lindsay, or to give him his full name, “Steven Lindsay, formerly of the Big Dish.”   See me for full story. Paul’s birthday tomorrow.   New ‘scope not here yet.   The expectation/hope is that it will have arrived in…
