Cubbyhole Sunday
Posted Jan 19, 2014
The examiner has my corrected text. Hopefully a quick signing-off exercise.
I have been in the cauld cubbyhole most of the day, drinking coffee and reading the Sunday Herald, and getting on with a bit of work. A productive if chilly day.
Pizza for tea. Exams kick off tomorrow. I have three exams in the coming week then a week with none, in which I can get the marking done and start to buffer ahead with the Semseter 2 PowerPoints.
I have, after many years of bleugh-response, concluded that in parts BBC Radio Scotland may not be too bad at all. This is one heckuva turnaround, and is largely driven by the stations Celtic/roots/Americana music programming, which ain't half-bad. A big music festival in Glasgow - Celtic Connections - is just kicking off and BBC RS will be broadcasting from it, as, I seem to remember, will R3.
I am at Ayr this coming Tue/Wed.
Cauld blowing mingin' weet day...

Beach walks, crack o' dawn
Posted Jan 7, 2014
It's quite nice down there, as long as the weather isn't too bad.
I have had sore necks for the last few mornings.
Plodding away on course handouts.
I rather enjoyed this week's Sherlock - I see people saying 'jumped the shark' in Blogs &c, 8 episodes in...
I was a member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London for a time in the mid-70s. My name will turn up in the Journal back issues. I read all of the Holmes stories when I was 13-14 and loved them, so I joined the society. I remember being awed by all of the sets iof letters following many (most?) of the members' names.
When I was 5 or so I had a deerstalker hat which I refused to wear because it made me look like 'Homeless' - it was my Homeless Hat.
I am thinking about buying a deerstalker.

Vault
Posted Jan 6, 2014
Back in the cubbyhole, and about time too.
I subscribed to the Wolfgang's Vault conert archive yesterday. A snip at just a shade under £30.
Zomb F visited me in the cubbyhole.
An early start, after a walk at the beach.
Tonight a Sherlock, then a Bridge. Michty! I'm doing a Peet.
Porterhouse Blue. Read it in 1981. Reading it again. In 1981 read it in the Bob's Union bar, helpless with laughter. In 2014 it still holds up ver well. I'll have to look out for more Sharpe in the second-hands.
A new cubbyhole tablecloth. Red.
A lot of distractions today but that's par for the course on the first day back and the distractions were welcome. Nose to the grindstone tomorrow, though. MUCH to do...

Eyes
Posted Dec 17, 2013
Looked at, again, at the eye clinic. Blood drawn for testing.
I had a cubbyhole visitor and he sat in the recliner and I hunted out tracks from the new David Crosby album - Croz, out on 28/1 - for him to hear. We are both great Crosby fans, and the new album sounds excellent. A passing acad stuck his head round the door and said that I had the most urbaine room in the LS. I went on to Google and looked up 'urbaine', and am well satisfied.
Anyhow, I had a nice long walk today and a good airing on Sunday. It's nice to get air into the lungs. My walk from the hospital today was interesting inasmuch as I had been atropined.
One of the Profs is taking me for lunch on Thursday. Carluccios.
