Tonight I’m at Pilrig St Paul’s Church by Leith for Val McDermid’s launch of her new book, “Winter: The Story of a Season”. Looking forward to reading this!

Edinburgh’s Christmas market is a refreshingly pleasant experience this year. Stalls appeared more original and the lighting effects were great.

Made my first visit to Holyrood Park’s Queen’s Drive in Edinburgh since the large fire in August. Fire service says it was likely caused by human activity. I wish people would take more care in their parks.

Back home after a great week in Iceland. Spent the majority of my time in the capital city, Reykjavik, as well as sampling the island’s first cask of single malt whiskey.

Bird at Blue Lagoon, Iceland. Not sure on the details about this one. Snow Bunting is the closest match I’ve found so far but doesn’t seem right.

Day four of my trip to Iceland brings me to Vatnajökull National Park, where I spent the day walking across a glacier and exploring some ice caves.

Had a fantastic couple days at Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) UK this week, hosted in my home city of Edinburgh. We had a fantastic sunset against Arthur’s Seat after the first day.

@callummcsorley.bsky.social Toppings store in Edinburgh sold “Squeaky Clean” to me as a wrapped, mystery crime novel. Loving it so far (50 pages to go), so I’ve already grabbed a copy of Paperboy. Great work!

Spent a couple weeks in Canada, time split between Toronto and Vancouver. Weather was on my side for the most part. ☀️

From start to finish, I read Val McDermid’s take on Macbeth whilst commuting from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. This is a great read for anyone wanting a more accurate tale of Macbeth’s story.
