Chickens go 'cluck', don't they?!

What the fook is going on with this 'lady' then?

Happy 60th Birthday yesterday mum!

My mum hit 60 yesterday, got off 10 mins early from her work on her last day too. Sweet.

Sharlene has made her a birthday cake and has had her first go at cake decorating. She made everything including the butterflies. Nicely done Shaz.

We've Got Sam & Ella

That's the wee chooks in their new home. I can already smell eggs - probably Sharlene's doing.

Hey Sucker!

Probably the biggest lolly in the wordl. Happy birthday to Calvin. 13 years old today. x

AA Meeting.

Went to the Ansel Adams exhibition today at the City Arts Centre at the back of The Waverly train station. It's brilliant!

If you get the chance you should definitely go.

 Another photographer is showing his work off, too. His name's Lindsay Robertson and his huge prints of landscapes around Scotland will take your breath away.

Goodbye Belt!

I've started a new diet. It's great.

Cameraman and Robin

Went to Klondyke Garden Centre in Mortonhall, Edinburgh on Sunday. Whilst walking around we could hear the chirping of a wee bird. We eventually found it, a Robin that was as gallas as you like. Not budging when you went near him or nothing. Kinda cute though.

Windy Walk III

Here's the last.

Windy Walk II

Here's some other shots from our walk the other day.

Check out the big hairy caterpillar!

A windy walk

Sharlene and I went for a drive with the dogs on Saturday and pitched up, we think, at Baddinsgill Reservoir. It was beautiful.

The sun shone and we had a wander along the edge of the water, walked up a hill and had a cup of tea from a flask whilst sitting on a tree stump. We saw a huge buzzard, flocks of geese and got back to our car whilst it was surrounded by Highland Coos.

A good day.

Nana & Papa

Hey, guys. Karen gave me a picture of nana and papa's wedding day as I asked if I could have a go at re-touching it. I've done it here and you can see a before and after. If you click on the 'After' image you can look at the high res. Download it if you like and print it out.

Cheers.

Where 'ra burds?

We had a wee visitor in the garden today. I thought it was a yellow finch or a gold finch or something, but, it turns out that it's a Siskin. Never heard of them before but he does look really cool.

Happy New Year!

Hello and happy new year to you.

Sharlene's pal Angie gave Calvin a Homer Simpson 3D jigsaw for Christmas and we did it on Wednesday night. Calvin, Angie, Sharlene and me worked for hours but managed to get it done.

132 separate wee jigsaws laid on top of each other to make a big bust of Homer. Calvin is well chuffed. Well done to us all.

Turkey, pig and reindeer for Christmas dinner.

Sorry to all the veggies out there but Christmas dinner was great this year.

Desmond Douglas of Thistle Street

I managed to reach the final of the inaugural Elmwood Table Tennis Championship 2007. It took a lot of sweat and vomit but I got there. However, in the final I was pumped two games to nil by Paul Sudron. But I don't like to talk about that bit.

Check out the trophy I made. This is the only time I'll get to hold the golden bat.

The man on the moon.

Took this shot of the moon tonight. Did it quickly though. It was minus 4 degrees out in the garden!

Damn it's cold!

How cold is it!

Christ, it's freezing. If you are anywhere hot just now then you are missing some brilliant weather. I'd hate to be in Australia the now Craig. All sweaty and enjoying yourself and that. Up yours.

Prat Pack

My work had it's Edinburgh, Leeds and London Christmas party last Friday down in York. The theme was the Rat Pack and everyone had to dress accordingly. I, however, went for the more relaxed look of a pastel blue polo neck, green cardigan, yellow loons, slicked back hair and a pencil 'tache rather than the obvious black suit and pencil tie everybody else went for.

Of course I won best dressed male. Duh!

Moonshine on Leith

We all went to the top of Calton hill the other weekend. It was brilliant. Really biting cold, scarily windy and getting darker every second.

Fantastic views over the Forth. Calvin liked the view of the Forth Bridge and the road bridge.

Princes Street looks great with the ferris wheel and all the other Christmas bits and bobs. I might take the camera and get some good pictures around Princes Street. Edinburgh is great.

And I think I even managed to take a photograph the Proclaimers could use for their next album cover. Hibs were playing Dundee United at Easter Road and the moon was directly above their stadium. You can see Berwick Law in the far distance too. Perfect.

On the way home, Sharlene was taking pictures whilst we were driving. She caught a cool picture of folk standing at the traffic lights.
