For those of you that didn't know, my partner Mal has his own blog documenting the trials and tribulations of renovating our little home in Aberdeen (see here) and to put it mildly his blog has utterly exploded, recently taking in a sponsored revamp of one of our rooms. This has meant that our last few months have been pretty [...]

Two things. One: A pretty decent Dido song. Two: That feeling of being a squatter within your own existence. Reflection is always a bit of a double edged sword for me in that it gives me a great opportunity to look back on where I once was, who I once was and realise how far [...]

I’m gonna be really honest here, I don’t exactly know where I am with this right now. I’ve had dozens of false starts trying to put into words what’s bumbling through my head and each time I write something, anything, it just doesn’t read like I want it to. I’m not even sure I have [...]

So I guess it looks like I've been a bit remiss of late and not really spent any time here, not really posted anything, not really bothered with it, not really interested anymore. Not even close. The thing is I've not really been in a place where I've felt able to post anything remotely interesting, [...]

Recently someone shared this with me and I quite liked it so I thought I’d share it with you guys. Hope you like it too! Life is like a journey on a train...with its stations...with changes of routes...and with accidents. We board this train when we are born and our parents are the ones who [...]

Firstly let me say a big thanks to all of you who read my nonsense week after week and as yet have neither shunned me nor had me detained and admitted. Sometimes the realms of human acceptance knows no bounds! Seriously though, I'm always really humbled by people taking a little bit of time out [...]

"And verily sooth I shall embrace my bastard self and henceforth bask in unparralelled happiness"-Book of Maynard, C4:V12 Duality. An instance of opposition or contrast between two aspects of the same thing, a dualism. This particular nugget has been rattling about in my head for a long while but I have been unsure of how [...]

So as you guys are aware I've been spending a lot of time recently reflecting on exactly how my life has came to be what it is now, could I pinpoint exactly when the change began and how this change started to manifested. Was there ever a pivotal moment of change or was it  a [...]

“That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.” - Dave Grohl Music is an enormously important thing to me, it can drag me out of the utter doldrums or can bring me crashing down into a bubbling mess [...]
