the happy day has passed and the loved up duo are now husband and wife.BBFK may have captured the heart of Lever but he has no captcha image when leaving a comment, so i have to offer my congratulations to the transatlantic bloggers here.i hope your wedding day in Canada went swimmingly (but not in niagra falls) and the rest of your days together will be full of bliss.

question: what's worse than getting cancer?

quick post asking for some help please. could you vote for my competition entry here if you like? i entered the competition to design a dream camera bag rather late, actually on the last day (today), but better late than never as they say. one can win a bumper load of camera goodies and get their bag made for them, so again if you would be so kind i'd be much obliged. link

a couple of hours ago i went outside for a breath of air and to peek at the stars. at that very moment on the tail end of ursa major, near the bright star arcturus, there was as bright light. initially it seemed like a star, then it moved so it seemed like a plane. too high up. a satellite probably.if memory servesi write probably because upon viewing one for the first time years ago, ideas of

i swore at a child today. not my child though. does that make it okay?not very grown up of me but i would probably do it again. losing one's temper isn't good but it was in defence of a loved one.after making my way to a local supermarket to buy some cat food Moby, our cheeky little cat, had followed me further than his little legs should have. he can be quite dog-like following people. we were

today was the first day of the year, and today was also Moby's first full day of having no balls. he was taken to the vet yesterday and "done". having been snipped and chipped, i thought he would be moping about and wondering where his gonads did go.what prompted the castration was a cut on his paw pad. there was a little trailer of bloody footprint, which led up to the top of the white washing

today marks my 33rd trip around our sun.another scot trekking across the universe is not really scottish at all. Simon Pegg has come under some flack for his role of Scotty in the new star trek movie. this clip shows the old Spock:it's hard to tell from that tiny clip if Pegg will be any good or not. he's been great in many other flicks so i'll hold back judgement til the film is out.

success. Bulbgirl has sold her flat. in this time of financial uncertainty (when you can't trust banks and financial wizards with your cash who can you trust?) she was lucky to have been offered pretty close to what she wanted for it. the deal is now done, the payment has gone through and the new owner has moved in.apart from a text from him about how to use the oven (he's a man), he must be

i want to kill myself. not the happiest thought in the world but there you go. can't say it hasn't popped into my head more than a few times.why would i want to pop my own clogs? well, chronic pain gets you down. it's hard to communicate to someone who hasn't experienced it, even doctors. they just seem to want to hand out pills and that's you. they feel they have done their job, but you still

i'm a mutant.after years of various pains, i finally have a diagnosis: ehlers-danlos syndrome.not entirely unexpected but still a little surprising. a rheumatologist told me that i was hypermobile last year. i eventually got an appointment down in London last week with professor Rodney Grahame of university college hospital.the professor spent over an hour with me!

meet Moby, our latest addition. he is nearly 17 weeks old, and we got him when he was just a 10 week old kitten. he is bulbcat #4, a little black and white cuteness exuder. it's almost a years since we lost Raku so should he be called #3 (moving up the rankings) or #4 (chronological)?. a slight hint of bluishness in the eyeswhere did we find Moby? in a supermarket. there was a notice that

slogan means war cry apparently. i found this intriguing.The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry")do we go into battle everyday trying to be heard, remembered, loved, feared or admired? what is your war cry? how do you project yourself. how does the world see you?slogans are very closely linked to

capacious. that's a word you rarely hear, unless of course you happen to be interacting with an estate agent. they have their own lingo, most of which is lies. maybe not quite lies, but not exactly truthful either.i had no idea how much you had to lie when selling your home. small things that haven't bothered you at all, ever, suddenly jump out at you. little cracks in the paintwork, right angles

after having an endoscopy a couple of weeks ago, i got the results. apparently there is bacteria in my stomach. i got a call from the gp confirming this and telling me to come to the health centre to pick up my medicine. the girl on the phone sounded really young then mentioned "irradiation." it must be pretty bad if i have to pick up the medication at the health centre "i thought to myself",

yesterday i didn't eat much. i had a light snack, or a snack of light. i had to have a medical procedure at the southern general hospital: an endoscopy. that's the one where they put a camera down your throat, not the other end. they need to give me this as my stomach has i've had some trouble with keeping food down and acid reflux.it was scheduled for 8.30am, and i last ate anything about 6.30pm

just spotted this trailer on yt. it's for the talented david fincher's new movie: the curious case of benjamin button. it won't be out until december 19th, just in time for christmas.the film is about a man (brad pitt) who is aged 80 and ages backwards. you may have noticed that this is the spanish version of the trailer, i don't think an english one is available yet. it looks amazing and seems

this isn't a pre scheduled blog post. i got back in late this evening with my ears ringing. a friend gave me a free ticket to go and see Joe Satriani at the Glasgow concert hall. it was a pretty great seat as well, up in the balcony facing the stage.the reason why i was lucky enough to receive the ticket: i don't like football. rangers were playing a team down in Manchester for the uefa cup. it's

on friday i went to the opticians to have an eye checkup. he wanted a good look inside so dilated my pupils by putting some drops in them. this stung for about 10 seconds. your natural reaction is to shut your eyes tight, but the optician said you have to blink to let the air at your eyes and the stinging soon stops. you then have that "pitch black" look.he made me stick my face in another

just testing the new future posting ability of blogger. the Blogger Buzz site informs us that we can now schedule posts to be published at a future date and time. this means that you can go on holiday, go to the shops, or just write up all you posts for the month in one day, then take a break from blogging.i'm pushing the boat out here and publishing a whole 15 mins into the future. it's 9.45 pm
