Something sounds a bit fishy about the collapse of Tower 7 at the WTC on 11 September 2001... or does it? You decide.

Riddle: When is a grand less than a grand but so much more than a grand?
... when it's a Yamaha Portable Grand. My new toy. I love it!

Dubai while stocks last
Just seen the news report that work will soon be underway on the world's first moving skyscraper. Wow! The idea is that each floor will be able to rotate, giving the resident the opportunity to change the view out of the windows. Plans are already in place to start similar constructions in Canada and Russia. Click here for more info: http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/

A few days away
I'm taking a few days off work to travel across to Cyprus. I'm meeting up with a very old family friend who can no longer make the trip back to the UK. I've known Betty Kirk all my life - she was a very dear friend of my dad's mum - it was only recently that I discovered that she was 95 years' old - even more impressive when you realise that she'd been making annual trips to Sussex up until last year. It will be very good to see her again. I've not been to Cyprus before so I'm really looking forward also to seeing the island for the first time. Unfortunately, I'm not there for long, and will be flying back to Gatwick on Sunday night ready for the 6am easyJet flight back to Edinburgh early on Monday morning. Never mind. It's just good to get a few days away.

Normal service has been resumed
Hello, it's me again! I've been a bit lax recently in posting any blog entries. It's a consequence of fatigue as I get used to a revised diet and medication for my newly-diagnosed diabetes. I knew a few months ago that things weren't right, and visits to the doctors and a number of blood tests confirmed my suspicion. The team at the diabetes clinic at the Western General Hospital have been fantastic. It's taken a bit of time to get adjusted to, and odd to think that I'll now be on medication for the rest of my life. But when I think about friends and family who are (or have been) dealing with more serious complaints, and the fact that I've generally escaped ill-health throughout my life so far, things aren't too bad. Energy levels have been much lower than usual, but I'm now getting back to normal. Work has continued apace, and I've had a few challenging weeks making sure that everything gets achieved. I'm grateful for the support of my family and close friends over the past couple of months. Many thanks.
