Sharlene's big hairy foot.

Yeuch! She's a hobbit.

Calvin's latest models

He's made three tiny wee characters from Disney's Cars.

Mator, Ramone and Lightning with monster truck wheels.



He also made a spider that he left on Sharlene's pillow for a laugh.

Professor Brainiac.

Sharlene has got her little chemistry set ticking over. All the levels for pH, nitrite, nitrate and ammonia are good and the stability is good so, fingers crossed, it wont be long until we can start putting in corals and fish and shopping trolleys into the marine tank. Cool.

What, these?

Oh these are just the Scotland v France tickets I bought.

WtF!?

This crawled out of somewhere last night too!

I looks like a slug but with a real bright blue shell on its back.

I've got crabs.

We have finally got some 'live rock' for our marine tank. It already looks better than just sand and water which it has been for the last two weeks. After about an hour, me and Sharlene were staring in the tank and talking about how cool it is going to be, a wee crab climbed out from under a rock! Don't know what kind he is and he'll probably end up eating all the fish and corals and stuff. But at least he seems happy enough to stay alive for more than an hour.

Big Sham Allardyce.

Does nae look too gid for big Scam. Looks like his footballing career might be in tatters.

Allez les foncé bleus!

We got tickets! Yes!

I don't know how, but after trying and trying and trying to get through on the phone last Friday, I eventually got through and, after waiting for about 20 minutes to get connected to the ticket office, bought three family tickets for the big Scotland match coming up.

Big Terry Henry is bricking it already.

A cake of cheese?

Not in my lifetime!

Yes, it's a culinary delight. I made it and i'm so the man.

Lucky Mascot.

Calvin has made a Simpsons character called Sir Oinksalot. He's the mascot for a rival college in [1F02] Homer Goes to College. Homer pulls it tail whilst saying 'Curly, straight, curly straight...'

Classy lassie

Here's my sister-in-law Stacey telling it how it is.

Poor Steve Irwin

In memory of Steve Irwin, we have decided to get a wee marine fish set up. We've bought the tank and the sand and Sharlene set it up on Sunday. We need to wait for two weeks so that the hingmys settle down and then we'll go and pick up the 'live rock' (holey boulders with bugs in). Once they've settled in (probably another two weeks) then we can start putting in Nemo and stingrays. Poor wee Steve, he now sleeps with the fishes.

Pretty impressive big tank I think you'll find.

Blair Athol & Pitlochry

Here's some of the pics from our recent camping weekend in bonnie Blair Athol.

Russell Brand with no hair.

Yeah, so my pal Ross looks like him. So what?

The fruit of my loin.

Well, veg actually. We hauled up some of our veg on Sunday. Ah, family bliss. Calvin was chuffed with our prize winning marrow and courgette, our tomatos, tatties and carrots are brilliant too.

The Good Life.

A new member of the family.

We bought a seahorse on Saturday afternoon. And he's a big bugger too! We got him from a lighting shop called Cotterell just off the Meadows in Edinburgh. Amazing stuff in there, well worth a wee swatch if you're in the area.

Mummenschanz.

We went to see a production by some crowd called mummenschanz on Saturday. It was really cool. Calvin thought it was really funny. Loads of crazy ideas. Visual stuff and that.

Golf Clubs for sale.

My neighbor Duncan is selling a set of golf clubs. Interested? They're a set of Mizuno Pro II Zoid irons. 3 iron - sand wedge. All could be yours for £140. They are in mint condition.

He's also selling a Titleist driver with Titleist head cover. It's a 975J.VS and again, is in mint condition. Don't know what he wants for it but let me know if you are interested.

Chip Shop Awards

Me and some of the guys from work went to the Chip Shop Awards last night. It was shit. The 'comedian' was unbelievably bad. Some guy from Glasgow asking 'do we have anyone from England here?' Jesus.

Apart from that, we did manage to win one full award and one runners up. This makes us the greatest design company in Europe. Fact.

Head back in the shit.

That's the holiday finished and it's back to work. Boo!

God I was so tired on Monday morning. What's with getting up at 7.30 in the morning. That's a mugs game. It got to about 10am and I was tired and hungry. Look at the picture of my office at lunchtime. Can you feel the design vibes just flying around the floor?

My boss asked me to put a wee paragraph or two together for an article the Drum magazine is doing on people who work within the design industry and their dogs. I don't know what it's all about but here's the photie that's going in. Brilliant I'm sure you'll agree.

Sharlene has stopped working at the weekend now. Yes! So we are looking forward to doing nothing together every weekend.

Calvin went back to school yesterday. Hurray! He was really excited about it. Primary 7. Jesus!
