  • On the one hand I love Nanami journals with their 480 pages. On the other hand, they take forever to complete and I prefer to see evidence I’m making progress through a notebook.

  • Music fans of a certain age may enjoy this Prog Rock Prom. The audio version has tracks that didn’t make the TV edit. Carl Palmer looks limber for a man of his age. The Van Der Graf Generator song was very moving. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/pl…

  • Sticker spotting in the city centre.

    24 July 2026
  • I’ve had the pleasure of sending fountain pens to John Sorowka quite a few times, either for repair or adjustment. He has always been a pleasure to deal with and the results were outstanding.

    23 July 2026
  • A trichrome pinhole photograph I took a few years ago. Three black and white film images shot through RGB filters and combined in Photoshop.

    18 July 2026
  • Very few users making use of community feedback in the Acme Weather app. Yes, that’s me!

    18 July 2026
  • That great Maltese treasure, the Pastizzi. Flaky pastry and savoury ricotta. Delicious even though my coeliac soul carries the guilt from a single bite.

  • Updated my ‘now’ page

    15 July 2026
  • It’s unlikely I will ever write a book, but I do feature in the acknowledgements of this one and I’ll take that as a win.

    13 July 2026
  • Enjoying this new little kitchen timer. The ‘calculator’ design means very few represses are needed to set the interval.

  • My friend’s vintage Lotus parked between two nodern behemoths.

  • Abandoned on Lothian Road.

    8 July 2026
  • Years ago I recorded a wren singing on my iPhone and used it as an alarm sound. Now my idiot brain will not allow me to sleep through that sound in the real world. Two days in a row now!

    8 July 2026
  • My wife is back from an emergency family visit to Malta and I’m being a bad coeliac. Enjoying a wedge of delicious Ftira bread.

    4 July 2026
  • Early this morning.

    1 July 2026
  • A joyous gig in Glasgow last night to see the Belle & Sebastian anniversary tour.

  • As a cook, I think I may have a problem with salt and pepper!

    24 June 2026
  • I’ve had this on the ‘to be read’ shelf for quite a while now. So far, it’s not doing much for me.

    24 June 2026
  • Another ‘Phil Collins’ day here in Edinburgh.
