The work thing I was supposed to be doing in Galashiels wasn't cancelled. I'm sitting on the train from Glasgow to London now, listening to "Petrococadollar" by Scritti Politti, watching the Scottish countryside roll by. It's very calm. I travelled to Glasgow on Thursday afternoon, and was delighted to be met by neil_scott , femme_latale , zagreb2 and majea - we ate veggie burgers in a cafe...

I'm back into the swing of things this week - after my short relaxing break, I've now got to get back to the land of make and do. I have finally posted the last parcel off to another retail outlet, the last order from Aviemore Trade Show.
