This was one part of the job that worried me when I applied. I’ve only ever driven on the right once before (Magaluf a few years ago) and I got into an accident at a junction. I hasten to add that it wasn’t my fault (I have a witness!), but being the tourist I got [...]

Time has positively flown here and I apologise again for not being as up to date as I’d hoped. I’ve been working 14 to 16-hour days, driven to two resorts twice, configured around 40 PCs, sorted numerous laptop and desktop issues, got the office interwebnet connection going, repacked and delivered around 20 PCs… and still [...]

Sorry to be so “lazy” recently, but I promise that I’ve been nothing such! It must have been almost 2 weeks since I last posted, but I’ve barely stopped. Since I arrived, I’ve had no time off, opting to waive my first day off (I get one a week) until later due to the sheer [...]

Sat in an airport, tapping away on a laptop and waiting for a flight. I seem to recall doing this a lot over the last year and a half, though this should be the last time for the next half-year. This time, I’m in Edinburgh airport with a choice of three extortinately-priced wireless signals, so [...]

Not a huge amount to report over the weekend. Dinner with Leah’s folks on Friday night (thank you to them!), then off to see 30 Days of Night which wasn’t too bad. Well filmed, poorly ended and otherwise nothing spectacular. Dinner with my folks on Saturday night, with Sylvia and Tony – two very long-standing [...]

Not a whole lot of activity on the “going places” front over the week. I’ve been bobbing up to Dundee to help Leah move loft insulation and also to house-sit while she got her interwebnet installed. On Thursday I did a quick trip round Glasgow to re-visit my two wonderful grannies, and my awesome cousin [...]

I managed to make it up to Perth for a little after lunchtime. If you have a late lunch. Enough time to fill the few remaining nooks and crannies in the cellar with the bumph I had in the car and then up to Dundee for pizza, Leah and more fireworks! The park round the [...]

We had a really long lie as both of us must have had a lot of sleep to catch up on. The beer / wine from the night before helped as well, I think! Kim sorted us out with cuppas and then we drove to Chris and Lyds’ (again!) where I filled up the car [...]

An early start for a Saturday as I had to pick up Sarah from Leeds station at 9:35. I met her in London when I was couchsurfing with Lynne, and she said that she hadn’t seen the north of the country yet. A shame, as it’s far better than flipping London, so I invited her [...]

So where have I been for the last few days? After returning to Scotland with my fully-working teeth, I had two days to get through some paperwork before heading south again. On Friday, I stopped off to see Simon the dentist again – this time to give him a cheque for the check-up last week. [...]
