According to that great British newspaper @theguardian.com nothing has happened in Scotland for five days. Nothing.

Oh, I'm up for that. Everyday's a school day...
And this audiobook by Mad Ernie is a fave on walks around the parish. It's mostly snippets and quite scattergun, but there are some absolute gems.

There's something I can't put my finger on, but I suspect that this isn't the real author Susanna Clarke.

Debut authors, do not be fooled by the manbunerrati. This is vanity publishing.

"THIS IS VANITY PUBLISHING."

Good luck to anyone who invested in this. You'll never see your money again.

Looking down at my laptop on the desk was killing my shoulders, so I connected it to Bluetooth keyboard and proper screen. Gaming mouse mats are also a good base to work on.

If you love Edinburgh, its history, architecture and people, and are also attracted like a moth to a candle by corruption, crime and violent death, this one’s for you. And to quote a well-loved Christmas movie, “Merry Christmas, you filthy animal."
