The Ardnamurchan Distillery Heritage Barley Release is one of my new favourites. Lovely flavours of digestive biscuits, marzipan and melted butter.
Although I really like using Field Notes notebooks as they are a great size, sometimes the paper is AWFUL with fountain pens.
Watching ‘Bait’ with Riz Ahmed and I think I spot an architectural Easter egg. Our hero is auditioning to be the next James Bond and lives in Trellick Tower, designed by architect Ernő Goldfinger.
I’m reading the most recent Haruki Murakami novel. I used to love his books but I’ve found the last few quite disappointing. I think it’s that they haven’t surprised — they’ve been MURAKAMI novels.
I occasionally think about writing about products that I use that have really stood the test of time. This lovely thing would have to be one of the earliest candidates. Nearly 45 years old and still going strong!
A cheeky wee negroni in my ‘Bladerunner’ style glass. 700g of stainless steel.
We’re enjoying the gift of a couple of lovely chocolate bars from Heist Chocolate.
First of this year’s homemade wild garlic pesto. Wild garlic, walnuts and pistachios, with local Anster cheese.
It’s one of my favourite times of year for cooking food. British asparagus is starting to appear, and today I’m making my wild garlic pesto that I usually make a couple of times at this time of year.
Listening to music on shuffle and some of my favourite dark lyrics came to the surface.
Seen in the way to work today.
I’m currently having a play with Wispr Flow and Monologue on iOS, not with any intention to use them, just curiosity to see if they have any value.

I really enjoy using the Postcrossing service and I’ve received some lovely messages
Occasionally recipient’s profiles are overly prescriptive in what they do/don’t want sent to them. That takes a little of the pleasure away because I feel I have less freedom and may disappoint them with my choices
Sheltering from the rain with a new book. And a pint of Loch Leven King Slayer.
Seen in Edinburgh
What was going through my mind last weekend when I said this in my sleep?
“It’s a long way to zero trail trail
It’s a long way to where the buses go”
I am really enjoying discovering music through the Radioooo app.
My favourite ‘taxi’ is fast, slow, or weird music from every country and all decades except the 80s and 90s.
Letting the mop dry in the sun today. That’s how I get my kicks these days.
New order just arrived. I love the graphic design of so many tinned fish products.
Booking a driving test in the UK is like trying to get concert tickets to the biggest gig of the year. Thousands ahead of you in the queue and no chance of decent seats!
Looking forward to trying that rare thing — an affordable dram of Springbank.
I am always struck how Mars Edit’s ‘Paste link’ command shortcut became so ingrained I now have it as a universal shortcut to create Markdown formatted links via ⇧ ⌘ A
What is the conversation that leads to two people taking up this sport?!
We bumped into lovely birdwatcher Dan on a wee stroll today. Apparently we were very lucky to see a Water Rail on the Water of Leith today.
