Lighter… Winter. This the new title format. It’s good as it gives a specific to it, the trouble for me is all the words in my head and not enough time or space.
The content is once again true to what I wrote, I hate it when people don’t let you down. I know it’s all obvious [...]

That new golf world that Donald Trump was after near Aberdeen was in the news today. They turned him down. Oh.
I have no strong opinions on the golf thing. But Trump? Really, would you trust a large tract of landscape and the livelihood of many to a man whose first task every morning is try [...]

These have had some coverage in Trail, but it’s good to have a closer look at the features for those interested in trying one out. I’ll be using one of these this winter depending on where we’re going. So once I’ve had a good go with it I’ll get the news on here, good or [...]

Do you make your own luck? Do you go about your business trying to find an angle, trying to tilt the odds in your favour?
It’s natural to want an advantage. I’ll never criticise a go-ahead nature, the execution of that impulse can leave a lot to be desired of course. But, without it we wouldn’t [...]

It’s been a bit miserable here. Grey and wet and uninspiring. Well, I should say that’s the conditions delivered by nature/government/your religon of choice/no religon of your choice/fairies/the postman/the BBC/the voices in your head/the voices in my head/Edgar Rice Burroughs.
However, I feel impervious to such notions. As tired as I am I’ve got a good [...]

I took this about eight months ago, the photies have been all over the place since. But I thought I’d try to embed a YouTube thing and see how it went.
The camera battery was dead, I got tons of photies but by the time I realised I could have filmed it I had seven seconds of [...]

It’s occured to me that I haven’t said that much about it on here yet. Nothing to do with the definition , which includes “without seriousness of purpose; trivial or trifling”.
It’s probably more to do with me always looking for the next thing, rather than covering all the stuff I’ve been saying on the forums [...]

Having been back at work for a few hours in the last couple of days, I was kind of looking for a day in slippers around the house with Jyc* and Hly*. An afternoon away and I’m worried she’ll forget me. I mean, she’s only wee, you never know.
I knew Craig was planning a training [...]

For such a daft wee village, Bowling has had an interesting history. The harbour used to be a bay, where the rich of Glasgow had cottages for the weekend. The harbour was a bustle of industry until the 60s with neighbouring shipyards as well as being a loading and unloading docks and railyard and of course [...]

They’re an inconvenience, you’re in a hurry, oh the queues, why must they..etc etc etc.
Aye very good. So you speed through at 70+ regardless of the 40 or 50 speed limit, because that’s yet another inconvenience. And anyway, you can drive your car better than everybody else so you’ll be fine. Indeed. That’s what every [...]

Scorchmarks on the grass as seen from Duncolm, captured with clarity and precision on my old phone. Looks familiar…

Bless them up there and their outdoor kit. At fastandlight’s secret bunker under plain wrapper, today arrived Icebug from Sweden.
I’m away with a set of Speed Mids and will most likely be in a pair of Pythos shortly. I’ll cover them in depth when I’ve got a few miles on them, but already they’re looking like the fairy [...]
