A semi-retired IT duffer living by Loch Tay in #Scotland. Used to wrangle #XML, now writes flash fiction instead of finishing anything longer. Owns several venerable #alpacas and forty years of #notebooks.
This is why nothing gets done.

Spring Clean by Mariette Voke @mariette_artist, a fabulously cheery painting to encounter in the atrium of the new Bristol

In Tsavo, the vibrant red earth takes centre stage – a rich hue that makes its red-tinted elephants stand out from their cousins across the country. Kainuk is a member of this distinctive herd. Orphaned in 2011, she grew up in our care and is now 15 years old and living wild: swt.bio/kainuk

The Tay is quite feisty at the moment. If you stand on the bridge you can feel it vibrate.
