The end.

The end of another year. It’s meaningless in that we set up the calendar, and tomorrow is “just another day” one presumes. An artificial break, one that forces us into reflection and resolution. It’s becoming a habit of mine to determine a verse for the year at the end of the year, and to look [...]

Away

I’ll be away this weekend, in Bristol, so won’t be blogging. Monday I’m in London for a meeting and a Christmas party and Tuesday I’ve got a work night out. So blogging might be a wee touch sparse this week. However, am on holidays from Thurs lunchtime and so I’ll make up for it…..

To take on the “might” of Motherwell
A good game all round
