Click on image to zoom inCheck out these notepads.
They are pretty cool.
They are called action pads, and they are all about the action.
The design looks great and the stock has serious feel appeal.
Definitely makes writing lists and taking notes in your next meeting more fun.
You can buy them here and they come in different colours too.
Come on you know you're bored of the moleskins, these are much more fun.

Click on image to zoom inThis weekend Brian and Adrian were busy working on pitches, which left me the only available mightysmall representative to go and check out the action at T in the Park.
The team at Material who have all been working round the clock on Tennents behalf kindly added us to their guest list, so the only thing for it was to get the wellies on and head up.
It was an ace day, and having the luxury of clean toilets, no bar queues and great food made the music even better.
Hope you're all catching some zzzz's now Material, thanks again.

No I won't put you through that torture but I wanted to mention my recent holiday, both the area and hotel pleasantly exceeded my expectations.
Location: Perthshire on the banks of Loch Earn in a very picturesque friendly village called St. Fillans. It was great.
Accommodation: A hotel ironically with the same name as the well known chain 'Four Seasons' but as independent as they get.
We booked a chalet rather than a room. We asked for the one with with the best view (and it delivered.) The food was excellent as was the decor in the hotel. (The decor has just been completed this spring by Graven Images apparently.)
The owner has by the look of some amazing prints of his photography done a LOT of travelling around Nepal, Tibet, China etc and his passion for that has been used as the inspiration for the interior design. Which I'm sure you'll agree is a welcome change from the usual tartan carpets etc.
It's a really lovely spot and a charming hotel, a good one if you feel like a bit of escape.

Click on image to zoom inIf you have read the blog about the sheep sign and my adventuring around Holyrood park with 17 dogs, you will appreciate why the simplicity of this sign I saw in my mates holiday shots made me smile. This is my mate Kev and the sheep sign he found.
This sign is perhaps not as effective in attracting dogs and their owners to read it and certainly not the type of sign that might be the hero at a press launch in Holyrood park, but still it does the job.
Adrian and Brian take note next time if we could try not to be clever, perhaps it's not so effective but at least I won't have to get down and dirty with the dog food.
