Fantastic day today – we went for a long cycle to South Queensferry (same route as with work the other week). Lots of cycling away from the traffic and then a bit of food in SQ and then a braw cycle back. Not too tired and being away from the…
Wireless OWL
In the interest of being a bit greener, the company I work for have some energy monitors to loan out on occasion. I am lucky enough to be using the
I spun the car!
Hehehe – don’t worry, not our car and not on the road… Almost a year ago I got a voucher for the Skid Pan experience at Knockhill and finally got round to taking it up on Saturday. It was great fun sliding a front wheel drive vectra about on the…
Scotland Homecoming
As part of the Homecoming Scotland 2009 year of events, two passenger jets high above edinburgh on the 3rd January managed to draw a saltire… Not really… Just a picture of the amazing skies (and cold temperatures) as we walked up and over Corstorphine hill.
Happy New Year!

The Mighty Boosh
If you haven’t heard of them then where have you been living for the past few years. Check out the Wikipedia Entry for details. Anyway, we saw them at The Festival Theatre last night and they were as odd as expected. The foyer smelled like a hairdressers on the way…
Wandering through the woods
We all headed off for a wander in the woods of Mugdock Park last Sunday to raise some funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. It was a surpisingly sunny day through in the West near Milngavie considering the downpour that was occuring through here in Embra. Steven stayed at home…
More Carry on Camping
After the washout-but-fun-camping a weekend or so back we decided to ditch the old hand me down tiny-2-person-at-a-squeeze tent and buy a new one. This is a proper 3 person one with plenty of space for getting wet clothes off in – or storing bikes! Now all we have to…
