It’s election time again. Voting day on May 5th and 7 candidates are standing in my ward  - all presumably wanting my vote.   I say presumably  because I’ve not yet heard from all of them and as a postal voter, today its the day I can vote as the  ballot paper has arrived. We … Continue reading It’s Time! Again! →

Last night I went to a meeting of Scottish Climate Reality leaders. I’d been ‘lurking’ in the background over the last year or so mainly due to Covid which limited opportunities to get out there and engage. I was a bit wary. I’d been attending some of the UK events but not  actively involved in … Continue reading Back in the saddle (after discovering I actually never got off the horse!) →

I don’t know about you but about half way through January I start to notice the glimmerings of increased light & I start to feel better, more motivated. This year was no different. My new year plan of losing weight & dry January was progressing but as I noticed the light I just became more … Continue reading Motivation →

Everything new, fresh & positive. I’ve been out with the dogs, wished the intrepid early morning joggers ‘Happy New … Continue reading Happy New Year – I love New Years Day too! →

This might be a strange title for those who have read my blog in the past. I’ve been rather quiet recently but I’ve decided to re-ignite it for the New Year. For those expecting politics and climate stuff you will not be disappointed (how can I give up those issues) but this will be a … Continue reading Don’t You Just Love New Year’s Eve! →

 (especially when you are not too invested in the result and can enjoy the match!) Yesterday I spent the day watching some glorious tennis. In the women’s singles I was leaning towards Ash Barty and was pleased she won but that in no way detracts from the excellent play of her opponent who also played … Continue reading Glorious Sport! →

We are now about halfway through the election campaign for the Scottish Parliament. Postal votes have arrived on the doorstep and as of this past week canvassing is allowed albeit with strict rules. Leafletting has been allowed for a while but few leafletters have been seen out and about. Posters on lampposts have appeared but … Continue reading A Funny Old Election →
