So,
Back in sunny Glasgow, suitably fed and watered by pizza and beer. Bliss.
Was the funeral of Ruth’s Gran this morning. Good service. Lot’s of good stuff said.
But lets have that as the last funeral I go to for at least a year? Yeah? Good.
And I managed to catch up with my writing and my reading while away. A productive few days away.
Anyways, tired and time for bed. Back to work tomorrow…

I’m posting from a remote location 1 1/2 hours drive east of Inverness today, sufficiently far enough away from civilization that I can actually relax.
The reason for being up with the in-laws isn’t the happiest; Ruth’s Gran died last week and her funeral is on Wednesday in Inverness. But Ruth and I came up a few days early (on Sunday) to spend some quality time with her folks.
It has been really restful, it’s feeling a lifetime away from all the stresses of Living and Working in Glasgow. And with everything Ruth and I have been putting up with in our respective jobs It’s nice not to have to think about it for a while.
And the peace and quiet has been a godsend for my writing, with no other distractions present I’m getting some good stuff written. It’s rare enough that I’m as happy with my writing as I am right now!
Better head now. I’ve had a lazy day so far and I’m thinking that the others might be wanting to get out and about for a bit.
See ya,

Those of you with long memories (pun intended) may remember me talking about Elephants Dream, a short cartoon built in Blender, the open source 3d modelling software.
Well – they’ve just released the trailer for their latest project, now named “Big Buck Bunny”, and it looks _stunning_. Hopefully it will also be slightly less mad than ED, which was madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of this year’s Mr Madman competition.
Enjoy.

Is it just me or does anyone else fail to understand her?
I generally dodge anything to do with popular music but I’ve happened upon Ms MacDonald a few times on the telly recently, a reason in itself to stop watching the box, and I’m constantly astounded that she seems to have some kind of musical career.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m hardly the greatest singer myself, barely able to carry a tune in a box, but surely she sounds like she’s chewing her way through a mouthful of words with every breath.
If anyone can explain to me what the deal is with her, please illuminate me…

I have a MyMiniCity.
It’s here.
For reasons that remain unexplainable, it has become relatively important to myself, Ruthy and mrBen, that the city grows and continues to grow.
So every day (more or less) without fail, we go to the site and help the city grow. There are a handful of others we have managed to con into sparing precious seconds of their online existence to helping us build what is realistically a waste of bandwidth.
Nevertheless, we come to you, the dedicated followers of JediMoose, to help our city grow…
Why should you do this?
Well, do you really have anything better to do?
