We were up in Lhanbryde (near Elgin) at the weekend, visiting Debbie’s sister. It was a lovely drive – about 4 hours each way, right through the highlands of Scotland. Went to a shop to buy some juice while we were there and it was, well, strange. I noticed that they had rowies on the

I’m writing this at my nice new shiny desk on my nice new shiny iMac while waiting for a curry I’m building to cook in my nice new shiny kitchen. The garage is stuffed full of what few possessions we have, but we’re back in our own house and that’s all that counts.

or at least we hope so. Completion date tends to oscillate a little – it was the Wednesday before last, then saturday, then last wednesday then this saturday… There was a wee bloke in yesterday doing general tidying up, ready for the last wee bits of joinery, tiling and painting. I don’t think there can

I forgot! We found out t’other day that we were likely to be back in the house in four weeks time! w00t! There’s always a downside, of course. It turned out that our loss adjuster had left and so nothing had been done on our claim for two weeks. We only got a new one

But getting there. These are the sprouts from the wall seeds that the joiny person planted. Apparently, once they’re fully grown they can go about sticking bits of plasterboard to them. Todays job seems to be something called dotting and dabbing, which involves them plopping galloping great gobbits of gloopy goo all over the stone

Well, when I said our temporary accomodation was big, I wasn’t really in full possession of the facts. Having now spent a weekend in it, it’s really too big. I don’t mean big as in “Oh mammy, it’s a big hoose!” either. I mean the kind of big that stomps about in tattered leather leiderhosen,

Our insurance company has organised a semi-permanent place to stay while the house is being repaired. It’s an old victorian house in Dalkeith and, as surrogate homes go, it’s very beautiful. In true victorian style, it’s a rabbit warren inside, with lots of high-ceilinged rooms connected by little passages. It’s not home, but it’ll make

Wednesdays are interesting. Expecially around lunchtime. By the time you’re reached lunchtime, you’ve kinda dragged yourself up the hump of the week and are teetering on the summit seeing the vast expanse of Thursday and Friday zooming away at your feet toward the weekend. So, without further ado, we should let out a cry of

Back at work today, and God am I cold. The machine room in which I sit isn’t heated, it’s cooled. Basically, the three cabinets full of servers chuck out a lot of heat, and the cooling system kicks in if the temperature gets above about 20 degrees. Except, it’s currently -2 outside. Gaaaaaah. I need

The christmas rush panic and madness is over, thank God, so life can return to some semblance of normality. Tristan and Matthew are currently gubbing each other with death-rays in Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters. Makes a change from them arguing in real life, I suppose. Don’t know what it is about brothers (never having had
