Today It’s About Love
I can recommend The Inch View Hotel, Burntisland, for a delicious meal in an intimate setting. I'm not a food critic, so I'll just say that feeding me pork and me relishing every bite is a rarity. I would eat their pork tenderloin twice. That's how I spent my Valentine's evening yesterday. Yesterday because today is all about love. Forty years ago today @ popped into the world and gifted those of us lucky enough to know him with his special brand of Different. Happy Birthday Mister @! ... read more
Blogaversary
I realised this week that I have been blogging for two years - today is my blogaversary. I remember when I first set up my blog I had this sense of writing into a void, of not having a clue what to say.

And my sister is sleeping on the sofa-bed :) Yesterday I had a mild moment of panic because despite all my clutter clearing, I still seemed ... read more
See Birds!!
Suspecting disappointment, we decided to abandon an attempt to sample the Hovercraft. We felt time would be better spent making our way out to North Berwick to take advantage of our new membership at the Scottish Seabird Centre. We arrived in time to discover that we had just missed a train and had around 50 minutes to wait, so we had a lovely cheese and ham bagel for breakfast in the station and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Waverley. The train wasn't very busy when we boarded and we ... read more
Happy Birthday To Me
It's my birthday today. I am 36 years "old". Conventional wisdom tells me that I am meant to be embarrassed, upset or distraught about this age. Actually conventional wisdom started telling me that from about the age of 29 - 30, this being the age of doom where everything changes for the worse. I made my Mum laugh the other day when I dramatically wailed Meg Ryan's line from When Harry Met Sally - "...and I'm gonna be Forty!" I just like to make my Mum laugh, but really I don't have a big ... read more
