Hurrah for modern technology! I'm probably a bit slow here on the uptake but wifi on the trains is quite nifty. Instead of having 4-5 hours stuck on a train I can now engage in geekery. Or maybe i'll be bored within 15minutes and want to go to sleep as it's only 6.30am

Was feeling a bit blah today (think i'm fighting off something just now) and so at lunchtime went for a wander to the Gyle. Absolutely no interest in buying anything at the shopping centre but just needed to walk somewhere with a bit of purpose even if it meant I had the company of hundreds of cars and trucks plus associated spray.

One of things ( Read more... )

I just saw Basil, Sybil and Manuel crossing the road. There are certainly some sights during the festival, I also saw Mr Peanuts yesterday...

It's slightly disgraceful that only two pints has rendered me unable to write replies to other people's journals. I could reply but as with this post it would lack sense or structure, oh hang on that usually happens ( Read more... )
