You have maybe been doing what you do for a living for some time. I know I have! But what could you have been? You could say that the world we navigate is a series of interconnecting and crisscrossing paths. Our lives unfold as a journey along one route, but there are so many more …
I don’t know the origin of this phrase but it means to get on and do something however distasteful, in pursuit of a goal. Well, on Monday it wasn’t a frog but a caterpillar. I was in our office in Kirkwall last Monday. The girls there have been taking it in turns to bake something …
I read today that some accountants are working more than 40 hours a week and even having to do work over the weekend! I must admit that I could not help but laugh. Presumably, they are all in the soft South of England. I don’t think I know many, if any, accountants in business who …
I have been sitting in Departures at Gatwick’s North Terminal for a couple of hours. I have been away for a couple of days on family matters but am now waiting for my flight back to Inverness and then will travel onward to Elgin by car later tonight. The airport isn’t mobbed so there are …

I spend all day, almost every day reading in one form or another, but rarely for pleasure. So, when it comes to learning, I really appreciate a good podcast or video. I can just sit back with my cup of tea, absorb the content …. and try not to fall asleep! I was listening to …
Well, you see, I am home alone this weekend as Helen is off to visit her youngest in Sheffield. So, what should I do with my weekend off the reins? Probably much the same as I usually do. I have worked 6 days a week for most of my working life. My choice! Saturday is …
September already! It does not seem that long since the daffodils were coming out and the leaves were unfolding on our trees. And now it’s September. I have had a couple of conversations in the last few days highlighting the change. Next month there will be Halloween and then we will be on the serious …
This happened earlier this morning. If I had known the names of the bikers I may have changed them to disguise their identity, but I don’t. If you know the Kessock Service Station on Longman Road (the Esso garage not the BP one), you will know that there are frequently queues of cars and lorries …
