Well at 9am we left Newquay. The driver is playing episodes of Still Game, Scotland at its best. Moving through Cornwall then Devon and there’s a magical slice of Scotland on the telly, strange. It’s been a great break, batteries have been recharged.

The Towan Blystra
We’ve been so really lucky with the weather down here in Cornwall. It was slow to start, but yet another beautiful day by Scottish standards. Did the train carriage on the road, I think it’s actually called the choo choo train, brilliant. The banter was fantastic, the information on Newquay was seriously interesting. Been sitting… Continue reading The Towan Blystra
Newquay
Yesterday we were at St Ives, a beautiful day and it’s obviously one of those beautiful places people flock to when the sun is out, it was mobbed. We got a seat at a beer garden right enough and I was happy. On return to Newquay the surfers were out since first thing in the… Continue reading Newquay
The Clouds of Devon and Cornwall
I’m a big time proud Scot and love going up north, not done it for ages right enough. Me and my partner Karen are on annual leave and we are in Newquay. Travelled down through England and to a great extent you’re protected from seeing the country by being on the motorway. But hit Devon… Continue reading The Clouds of Devon and Cornwall
New Users can’t Register with JetPack
I’m no computer whizz kid, in fact, quite the opposite. At the beginning of the month I installed a WordPress plugin called JetPack onto my site. I’ve not been able to gain one single new user since that date. I’ve not had all that much time to mess about with it. It’s supposed to give… Continue reading New Users can’t Register with JetPack
Need to Sort this Place
It’s 10pm and I’m home from my day job; that’s five in a row. I’m 64 and when I was in my twenties I thought I’d have retired by now, oh well. I love my job and only the Big Man upstairs will stop me at least keeping in touch with the guys. I’d love… Continue reading Need to Sort this Place
Change of Plans
This morning I was slurping my coffee and puffing a cigarette (aye Im still smoking) before going to sit at the pc and post a file. My phone rang and a colleague on the day job asked if I could pick up meds for one of the service users. Advised I wasn’t working today. There’s… Continue reading Change of Plans
My Life
I’m off from the day job today and my partner is at work. I was up around 7 as was my partner as she had work. At 9 when she left I started the task of removing the Christmas decorations. There’s been no time, when I come in after too often a 10 or 11… Continue reading My Life
Stopping Smoking
Today, the 2nd of January is the day me and my partner decided we’d stop smoking. I’m on my fourth cigarette, she’s only had two. We’re both using puffers and for it being the early evening, 4 for me isn’t all that bad. I blame it on the Old Firm football game, really good and… Continue reading Stopping Smoking
Happy Hogmanay
And it’s the last day of the year, 2022 hasn’t been good, well since 2020 we ain’t had much luck have we. I’m off from the day job for the next four days, I need to get a lot of work done on this site. I’ve gained sixteen files from the Sky Box and they’re… Continue reading Happy Hogmanay
