Something’s Afoot

Well, I’m on holiday this week. It’s yummy 🙂 Been scuffing about in the garden, playing games, doing all the life stuff that work gets in the way of. Anyway, during the week (so far) Debbie and I have noted an inexplicable increase in the amount of big white vans in the street. Also, Debbie

It’s the hump of the week!

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.

First day back

Gaaaaaaaah. Back at work today. I think we must be the only company in Scotland that’s actually open for business. Drove down the Mound (beside the Castle) at 8:45 and stopped at the traffic lights in Princes Street. Not another car in sight – the town is absolutely deserted. I don’t actually have very much
