I was thinking of displaying my Blogs Of The Day ranking in the sidebar. But then I had a look at what Oh Bloggitt!‘s current BOTD ranking is – number 605 of 1028 blogs. So I think that one will be deferred for now. ———————————- Son should soon be moving out to his own place […]
The Steadings’ wood supply has just arrived – 24 tons !! of logs to be chopped up and chainsawed and barrowed and stacked. C says that will last us two winters – I’ll be happy if it just lasts the one, so that we can cut down on our coal bills.
In the village this morning, I spotted a notice for a walking group. “For anyone who is new to walking or just want to improve their fitness. 30 minutes guided walk around a level, firm path. Meeting every fortnight.” Not a bad idea, I thought, maybe I could join them? Then I checked where the […]

Had the family said “Yes, we have listened to your arguments and we have come to realise that you are right. We cannot in all concience […]
[start geekystuff] The new version of A List Apart has just appeared. It looks great – clean, non-fussy and easy on the eye. And the copyright notice says it’s OK to copy design elements! So I’ve just pinched their stylesheet for close study. I think you may be seeing a new design for this blog […]
….to do jury duty! Next month in the local Sherriffs Court. Eeeek! Don’t suppose it will be anything important – I can’t think of any big trials that are scheduled to take place in this neck of the Scottish woods. It will probably be fraud or embezzlement – those are the usual sort of cases […]
