The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns. The summer has been fraught with wishes and movement. I've been back up to Edinburgh, making changes to life here … Continue reading Autumn

Boiling Point
I've been sitting here for around five minutes contemplating what exactly to write. I know what I would like to say, but not how to say it. I've just read some short stories by a good friend of mine which are excellent, the type of excellent which act like a frag grenade and stun any … Continue reading Boiling Point
Hung Parliament Purgatory: Heaven and Hell. Whole foods and Hospitals.
So that's that. The election wrapped up dramatically to reveal exactly what we were told was going to happen had happened but in dramatic circumstances. Jeremy Corbyn has won and lost.

My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
General Election – Week 1
So, I've failed you already. The intention to cover this parade daily is not easy or interesting. So I've decided to do it as and when I feel compelled, meaning this will likely be the last post in human history as Nuclear war brews in the South China sea. This pleases me as not only … Continue reading General Election – Week 1
Unbecoming a sad-sack
I've recently been through somewhat of a malaise. Perhaps from my own doing, perhaps from circumstances, certainly from a combination of the two. My usual routine came unbinded and I've been slightly at odds with myself and what I do minute -to-minute. Which is quite an uncomfortable experience. Some of this has been brought on … Continue reading Unbecoming a sad-sack
