Seasons – Updated

I’ve been a bit poor over the winter doing my “seasons” set on Flickr. Here is the latest offering. This offering comes with the following qualifiers:

I’m still not very good at taking photos;
I didn’t have my monopod;
The light was sh*t;
I was in a rush;
The gardens weren’t very photgenic anyway;
I haven’t had time do do any [...]

Photos of Snowy Sunday in Mid-March

Another thing I meant to do but didn’t get around to was putting up some of the photos I took when on Sunday we had more unexpected snow:

Big Issue – and a little issue with the details.

Well, my ‘profile’ is in this week’s Big Issue in Scotland. A two-page spread at that! Not quite up to Heather’s Dooce feature in Glamour, but getting there!
Sorry about the p***-poor quality photo of the pages – I don’t have my camera with me today, so am using the exceptionally low-res camera on my [...]

I’ve never really been one for kilt-wearing until recently. The occasional hired dress-kilt outfit for special occasions was as far as I went. The main reasons being a lack of occasions to wear it, and the prohibitive cost of [...]

Why Cameron Should Win

So, the Tory leadership winner is announced later today.
I’ve already mentioned that I think Cameron should win to return a bit of centre-right moderation to Politics.
However, I have since discovered another reason why Cameron should win. Davis has a giant-mutant-sized left hand – noone would take him seriously in debates in the house waving that [...]

It was cold and windy when I woke up this morning, so I thought “I know, i’ll dig out the old green jersey, that’ll keep me warm”.

Blogmeet….

100_1204Originally uploaded by edinburghsteve.
Well, I had hoped to be an early bird in getting these pictures posted, but no… my computer had other ideas, and having finally agreed to upload the photos to Flickr, I can post them… only to find that Svetlana got there first! Oh well…
A lovely evening in Glasgow today. I met [...]
