I put my hand down behind the couch as I was heading to the motor last week to grab some CD’s to listen to in case the FM iPod thing was rubbish, I stuck them in a bag and left for Glenelg. I was well up the road before I realised that I had 10 Status Quo [...]

It’s February in about ten minutes. I know the news is banging on about winter returning this week, but how ever harsh it may be, it won’t last. I just hope there’s enough snow dumped up high to be able to use for the stove up to at least easter. Ah spring summits, the chill air [...]

I said to Holly that the next time I was heading down to the beach to catch the sunset she could come along, so when it was looking like it might be nice about 4 today on went her boots and furry hat as we rushed down to the icy harbour. It was nice, the sun [...]

Just caught the end of the news. Deficit, growth, recession, depression, debt. It will never be sorted, the debt will never be repaid, ever. To make a real profit, of national not personal scale, you have to exploit someone for raw materials and labour and then sell the proceeds at home and abroad. Success means someone has to [...]

If you’re reading this, then I am gone. Don’t be sad, I didn’t suffer. I got one of those plug-in FM transmitters so I can hear my iPod in the motor again. And, I’m in a better place. Somewhere between Kintail and Knoydart. The inscription reads… “Here he lies, not camping but sleeping in the [...]

Jeez, it’s been a while since I did one of these posts. Been a lot of gear getting used one way or an other and the Tarmachan mini trip is the start of me writing about it all again. So much to catch up on. There was a lot of regular or familiar kit on the [...]

Got the new motor. New to me that is, it’s been in this world a good wee while on it’s own already. It’s another Mondeo estate, and its black. Black. I’m fine with black, I was more worried by the private reggie number that it came with and how quickly I could get a regular [...]

Spent the day in Edinburgh at the Snowbaws outdoor show looking at some new kit, some new brands too which was nice. I’ll do a write-up over the next couple of days and I’ll be announcing a “thing” too, I’ve got a few of the distributors working with me to put together a show-and-tell weekend [...]

I was in a shop before Christmas, a big shop, it was in Braehead, Primark maybe? Anyway, they had what I thought were dressing up outfits for adults, cartoon characters, superheroes and the like and on the whole they seemed a little sinister and somewhat overly plush. Turns out it was pyjamas, all-in-one pyjamas, or onesies. I [...]

I’ve had Horatio McCulloch and his wonderful works on here before, but I just came across this page on the BBC site which has a bunch of his paintings, all familiar Highland stuff or scenes local to me like the view below which is also in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Museum (I can see my living room window just at the turn of [...]
