The Earth moved for me on Tuesday
I nearly forgot this. I was sitting in my room at the hotel Tuesday evening, working at my desk, when I noticed the table moving and shaking a bit, and slight vibration in the floor. Went on for several seconds. … Continue reading →

This week I have been up north, and what rather pissy weather it was. Drove up in constant rain on Monday. Rained all day, but at least I was indoors. I was almost last leaving the office, only one other … Continue reading →

Thursday night decided it was an eating night. Thought I would have a Thai meal, so walked over to Thistle Street to try Dusit. Dusit is probably the best Thai Restaurant in Edinburgh. It is small and looked rather full … Continue reading →
