Everything is at risk!

Pete — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:00:50 +0000

Forth Bridge – Old & New

Pete — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:33:17 +0000

One evening earlier during my working stay in Livingston - on a visit to the Ratho climbing centre - I'd spotted the famous Forth rail bridge on the horizon. That'll be worth a visit I thought, and it's only 10 miles away with the added bonus of including a trip to the seaside...

A run around Dalmahoy hotel

Pete — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:36:08 +0000

Stuck up near Edinburgh with work (which – BTW – sucks! ) I’ve been looking for ways to occupy myself and take advantage of the long Scottish summer evenings… Especially to help combat the effects of hotel and fast food; too much of which has significant lard building capabilities without enough exercise. My hotel, although [...]

Laetitia — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:03:13 +0000

We left work early on Wednesday - well, relatively early as my usual departure time seems to after 7pm these days (boo hoo!) - and made our way to Trowbarrow for some evening cragging...

The Roof Top View from Work

Pete — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:37:18 +0000

Working away from home sucks, but at least you get the occassional source of interest to share… Today’s is this view out of the window! The picture is a little old now, but I’ve only just got round to downloading it from my phone – sorry for the delay.

Is this work or is it play?

David — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:41:23 +0000

A chance to have a bit of a play and be at work at the same time.....

London; not so bad as a tourist…

Pete — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 18:38:28 +0000

We normally only go to London for work - which is pretty dull, not only because it's work (which sucks), but because it is also very busy, dirty and not by choice. So, thanks to our opportunity...

Network Rail Sucks!

Pete — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:57:05 +0000

I was supposed to be in Walsall for work today. But Network Rail had other ideas! Despite a 5am start to get there in time, a three hour delay...
