Don’t worry, no spoilers, I’m not going to say a word about the loss of the tenth Dr… I’m a bit late to do that one anyway. Suffice to say I’ve got Doctor Who – The Complete Specials [DVD] on pre-order (yes, I know, fangirl….) So we’ve got a new year on our hands then. [...]

So my head has been bits the past two or three weeks but I think it’s not far off being ok now. I’m looking forward to seeing Lis next weekend and having a break from being domestic for a couple of days Looking for inspiration for something to write about tonight (because I’ve [...]

I guess it’s officially winter now. The car was iced up this morning, the hundred odd geese resting on the loch were making a racket and, of course, the ultimate tell-tale sign: the Chinese takeaway have started giving out free 2010 calendars with every order. Winter up here is dark – and cold – [...]

Spin with me

So as half of the country seems to be disappearing under water, you can take it as given that we’re close to being in that half… and so I’ll talk about something else instead. Did you go out on for Halloween? Did you dress up? Did you have an awesome night? Did you [...]

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” – Albert Einstein. I’m not quite what to make of this but I’m astounded by this sweeping statement: Sir Alistair, who said he was 99% Scottish, said the rest of the UK should not lose an hour of evening daylight just because Scottish farmers [...]

Hmmmm…. do you think this place looks better? I found this theme (for free) which I thought was quite cute. It has a couple of bugs which I need to iron out, but otherwise? At some point I will even attempt to make my own header image but I can’t be bothered [...]

I’ve caught myself thinking “blog-it” thoughts the past few weeks, it’s very strange. It’s not like I can remember any of those things I wanted to blog (well, apart from the drama of the first summer storm I’ve seen since I moved here in 2005, after the temperature hit 30 degrees – hottest it’s [...]

I’m blitzing this place tonight, gonna make it feel like my new, pixelated, home. It’s bound to go odd, so beware! 9th Nov 08 not done yet

One of these things first

So I was thirty back at the beginning of last month and I didn’t ‘blog about it. I really have got out of the swing of things… I even made the resolution to take a photo for each day of my thirty-ness – which went out of the window even before the end of [...]
