I was in Alderwood this evening after work to pick up a couple of things and wandered into the Apple Store to get all excited over the latest shiny geeky thing (thankfully there is a corporate discount). The Beatles were plastered all over the front of the store now they are available on iTunes. I wonder what John Lennon would think of this, I think…
Finally unpacked…
I was finally got round to unpacking my big case after my last trip to Japan and I found a shirt I got laundered at the hotel with this little collar on it. I thought it was worth sharing.

One rather awesome little cat, not the smartest guy around, but is my buddy… At times he acts less a cat and more of a straight tailed fluffy pig the way he eats.

A beautiful winter morning
I’ve been back from London and the snow (actually ice now) is still on the ground. This morning was cold, clear skied and beautiful, this was taken on my drive into work this morning.

My 2010 F1 highlight
I’ve stated a couple of times that I thought the 2010 F1 world championship was a classic; even with a little distance between the racing and us I still think it deserves the overused “classic” label. In the end I’m still not sure if Vettel won it, or Ferrari and Alonso conspired to loose it at the death with a bizarre strategy. There is a…
The view is beautiful
Last night was fun, New Year should be a time spent with friends, old and new. Last night was that and more. Today I woke up to a beautiful, but awfully cold morning. This is the view from my bed and one of the reasons I love this house.
Hòg mhaidne (in Gaelic)
Growing up with a Scottish parent tonight was always the biggest celebration of the year. It’s a night that everyone should spend in Scotland at least once. It’s a night where a country that can stand toe-to-toe with the Irish when it comes to drinking and having a good time, turns the dial to 11 and leaves all others in their wake. In the finest…
Gauguin, culture and beer mix in London

My first stop is what I think is the…
