Click on image to zoom inJust back from a relaxing/tiring holiday with friends and four hyperactive kids up north at Loch Tay. Scenery stunning, food good and the weather surprisingly charitable. The only thing that caught us offguard was some of dubious the joinery in the lodge we were residing in. How can someone manage to fit 14 door handles the wrong way round without noticing that they don’t actually close (which is the main feature of a door handle I presume). I actually managed to impale myself on the handle pictured attempting to exit a particularly cramped W.C. and I still have the bruises to prove it. Oh how we laughed. Well, the kids laughed, not me

So what major life changes am I facing working from chez-moi. Still drinking as much coffee. Still getting woken up at the same ungodly hour by the kids. Still turning down the heating at every opportunity much to everyone's annoyance.
Vive la change!

I did a quick double take last week as I passed these 2 billboards on sunny Leith Walk. Both had very similar colour palettes, very similar typefaces and were advertising very similar ISA products. (Although the RBOS did have a slightly better rate of 3.5% to BOS’s miserly 3%.) Round one to Gogarburn. It remains to be seen if the advertising for both sides continues to morph into one huge corporate mass, or should that be mush
