I’ve moved the site again. I’ve lost count of how many platforms I’ve run this site on. We’ve had Wordpress, Squarespace, Hugo, and back to…

Have you noticed Tesla are always in the news? Every single item of news is immediately a global sensation. Every attempt is made by the…

After years of waiting and campaigning, and a few false starts, it’s finally installed! What a difference, here are the results from my…

Yet another first day of school rolls around, so here’s the customary photo:

Remembered again - here is Anna starting Primary 4 I even remembered to have the grass cut this year :)

I got the chance to try out my Weber Poultry Roaster, which I have had for very nearly a year - got it for my birthday last May! Popped down…

After using Squarespace for a year, I’ve decided to move back to WordPress. Nothing wrong with squarespace, just not paying for a hosted…

I’ve finally upgraded my ageing Canon EOS 400D up to a 600D. Not new, but newer. It does HD video, so I thought I’d try it out by recording…

Keeping up the theme is first-day-of-school photos, here is Anna starting Primary 3

Well, BT Openreach have finally given a date for my line to be upgraded to FTTC. Next May! That’s a fair bit further out than I hoped, but…

Anna started P2 (year 2 / whatever it is called where you are) recently, here’s a photo since I had one when she started P1. Let’s see if I…

A rant for my first post in ages… Recently took out a 12 month SIM only deal with T-Mobile UK for Emma’s phone, having had to ditch giffgaff…

Here’s Amelia having her breakfast.

Anna started school today – can’t believe it!

On our visit to Blackpool Pleasure beach last week, I was impressed with Anna’s driving skills…

We visited Edinburgh Zoo today, first time visiting the Pandas. The weather was typical Scottish summer, gone is the sun of a few weeks ago…

I’m sitting in my garden with Amelia watching the Monaco GP on the iPad. Making the most of the amazing Scottish weather, and appreciating…

By popular demand (perhaps not), here is my slideshow from April’s visit to San Francisco. Perhaps a little cable-car heavy, but hey - that…

Inspired by this post, one of the first things I did on my visit to San Francisco was a #30 bus ride to Chestnut Street. Unfortunately, all…

I was watching Amelia on the floor last night and she was managing to roll round on to her side, so I grabbed the iPhone and took some video…

I’ve found something annoying than the ‘hot girls’ vendors in Vegas - the Eiffel Tower tat vendors in Paris. You can barely walk along the…

I’ve just finished watching the Turkish F1 Grand Prix, and am now convinced that DRS (Drag Reduction System) is a joke. Even more so than…

Well, that’s Vegas and the US (almost) done this time. I’m at Newark on my way back to Glasgow. I realised while watching TV on the way up…

I’ve stopped off in Las Vegas on the way back from Santa Clara. This is my first visit, and you can’t help be in awe of the sheer scale and…

Well, my week in California is over. The first thing I noticed when I got there was that it wasn’t all that warm - not much warmer than…

Hi there. I’m doing another blog. Why you might ask? I felt like trying again, having not had any kind of web site to speak of for years. I…
