Nearly Summer and I've not posted anything

Shocking really. So much for blogging, when I've nothing to say. Haven't really updated my main family website for ages either. Must be indication of how busy things have been over the past wee while.

I'm back after a long Absence

Yes, it's been a while, I know.  Thought I'd get back to writing some things in this blog thing.   Using Microsoft Windows Live Writer beta for a wee change...  See how it goes.

Still very hot here in UK. Scotland's not as bad as rest of UK, though. Global warming must be having its effect.
Heard from my cousin Heather from Louisiana. That's their house nearly re-built now. One year ago, the hurricane season was just beginning. I dread to think how they're feeling about the coming hurricane season. Let's hope it's kind on them this time.

New Googlepages - Great Stuff
Was showing my brother-in-Law the great new googlepages facility - which I've been playing about with in the last week.
Think it'll open up web page creation to the masses. Can only be a good thing, IMHO.

Radiance Glasgow
Was at the fantastic Radiance Glasgow Festival last night. Great idea for getting tourists to wander around Merchant City area of Glasgow on a cold late November night.
We were treated to cleverly lit up buildings, video projections and a fantastic show at rottenrow with flame thrower music, fireworks, bagpipes, weird sounds, lights - great stuff. Down at the clydeside, the lighting was brilliant - especially liked the trees all covered in lights on the south bank, contrasting with the deep blue lights under the bridges. Good stuff, Glasgow - lets do it again next year (only more maps!).

building progress - 3rd full week
Well, despite the wet and windy weather - they now have half the walls up, the floor joists, and our big chimney is about 6 foot high now. Still a lot of brickwork to do. Expect they'll start on the roof sometime late next week.
