Yes, I know, I know!! I’m a shit blogger who hasn’t bothered her arse since the end of last year. But, but <begin begging excuses> I’ve been busy! So very busy! Well, by “busy” I really mean spending most of my time cultivating a lovely New Thing with a Nice Man (ie going out all the time, eating… Continue reading Parklife!

A Reel-ly Good Time…
Well, it’s almost Christmas. And it’s almost time to say goodbye to 2018. As far as I’m concerned (other than a rather interesting, exciting and quite lovely development over the last 8 weeks – what you might call 2018’s “golden goal”…?!), this meme sums up how I feel about 2018: But, it’s almost done so… Continue reading A Reel-ly Good Time…
A Few Thoughts on the Scottish Winter: and the Water of Leith
Is it spring yet? What? No?! It’s only *mid February*?! How can that even be possible?! I’m sure I’m right in saying that January was at least 14 or 15 weeks long, yes? Winter in Scotland can be a bit challenging. It’s dreich, it’s cold, it’s icy – and if you’re anything like me, you… Continue reading A Few Thoughts on the Scottish Winter: and the Water of Leith
‘Tis (just about still) the Season… Let’s Talk Scotland’s Reflections on 2017 (Part 2)
Boxing day. The day where the majority of people are overcome by food / drink regret, before saying “ach fuck it” and opening another “family” sized bag of crisps or getting stuck into the leftover trifle. I’m not going to add myself to that group today. Well, what I mean is that although I will… Continue reading ‘Tis (just about still) the Season… Let’s Talk Scotland’s Reflections on 2017 (Part 2)
‘Tis the Season… Let’s Talk Scotland’s Reflections on 2017 (Part 1)
No, don’t stop reading before you even start! This isn’t going to be some pishy, hippy, wanky look back at a year in which I have been “blessed” or “found myself”, or a reflection on how *another* year has flown by and I’m one step closer to death (although, that last bit is very true).… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season… Let’s Talk Scotland’s Reflections on 2017 (Part 1)
Beer and Cheer! The Campervan Brewery
I am hungover* today. To be honest, this has been a bit of trend for the last few weeks. November was pretty much an entire month of one Lovely Thing after another. It started with a week in sunny Lanzarote (the main themes of which were awesome scenery, much cheese eating and very cheap, very… Continue reading Beer and Cheer! The Campervan Brewery
Going Forth! The Queensferry Crossing
Unless you have been under a rock (or, more likely, under your duvet hiding from the latest antics of that twunt with a shite hair-do in North Korea and that other twunt with an even shiter hair-do in the USA) you will have seen that the brand spanking new bridge linking Edinburgh (at the town… Continue reading Going Forth!

As you will have picked up if you know me / read my blog, I am a resident of Edinburgh – and have been for twenty years. Over those two decades, I have developed a love / hate relationship with the behemoth that is the Edinburgh Festival. This year’s began a week or so ago… Continue reading The Let’s Talk Scotland Edinburgh Festival(s) Survival Guide. Well, kind of…
Wee Walk + Big View = Refreshed Brain
It’s been a week of ups and downs in Let’s Talk Scotland Towers (aka Tiny Flat on Shit Street). Ups: I have just had a week off on holiday from work. Yay! This has involved a lot of eating and drinking (well, far be it from me to be unoriginal); catching up with friends (which… Continue reading Wee Walk + Big View = Refreshed Brain
A castle in Edinburgh. No, not that one…
