  • Cooking with the kids

    We’re having an afternoon cooking with the kids and enjoying time together before I disappear for a week.  Banana bread cupcakes and chocolate Paw Patrol cookies (in cupcake miles of course). Paw troll tookies!

  • Short week

    Having only worked two days this week, it’s the weekend, and then I’m only “working” one day next week.  Feel like I’ve hardly spoken to my team this week but as of 9am Tuesday morning I’ll be on a plane to a spend week with them. Didn’t think I’d be back to Mexico this fast!

  • True Kitchen

    Had dinner in True Kitchen this evening. Christmas present from my brother which we used to Zara’s birthday. Along the windows are shelves of empty bottles with handwritten messages attached.

  • Level 15

    Last week something major happened in my life. I hit Level 15 in Ingress. I’ve been playing since the day after it was released on iOS, 15th July 2014. The basic premise is to visit real world location, and using the app on your phone, “fight” over “portals” against the opposing faction. You gain points…

  • Protection

    I have a history of smashing phones. Picked up this new case earlier. The tech21 Evo Mesh Sport, nice flexible case, got some bounce.

  • Panda and Sons

    At 79 Queen Street, Edinburgh there is a small window and door advertising haircuts and shaves for 25¢. There is a small entrance hallway leading to stairs. Pull open a bookcase and you enter Panda and Sons, a lovely speakeasy, offering cocktails and other drinks.  You’re presented with a booklet (above) which lists the Panda…

  • Tabletop games

    We regularly play boardgames, I’m going to start noting it.  I keep joking someone should build an app to keep track of who wins what game.  Tonight Zara won Smallworld, and Jack & I won a game each of Adventure Time Fluxx.

  • Serrano Lavado Cumanyagua

    Another nice one from Braithwaite in Dundee.  They don’t have an online presence at all. I asked if they would for orders or publicity, but it isn’t to be – the owner is happy with their current business (in person & by phone order) that any more would be too much.
