Wiblog - Paul's Wibblings

Having wibbled on about how we ran our general election campaign it's perhaps time to talk about why the whole thing sucks and the biggest issue here is First Past The Post (FPTP).  read more ...

In my last post I talked about canvassing (and leafleting) in the run up to the recent general election. The actual day itself was interesting and occasionally amusing, so let's wibble about that for a while.  read more ...

I recently discovered Cairt, Newsletter of the Scottish Maps Forum, and I've subscribed but they only come out every six months so I'm currently working by way through the back issues while waiting for the next one and this caught my eye.  read more ...

So the PoTD project has gone to pot. That took a month. Oh well, never mind, here's Zola, who lives all alone in a field next to the path down to east beach. It's a very heavy crop as I had the wrong lens on but it didn't come out too badly considering.

They continue to be rather fine. I've cloned out the street lights for a change.

A lovely day today, such a contrast to yesterday, so we went for a walk down to the beach where the tide was well in (it's also springs). The gorse is really coming out now.

From the patio windows again. Gorgeous.

The lichen in Kingsteps Quarry just below our house is just gorgeous close up.

We wandered down to Nairn East Beach this afternoon with the dogs. Another lovely sunny day, although a lot colder with frost on the sand(!) but no wind so you didn't really feel it in the sun.
