My Half-finished Life: December 2009
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Friday, 25 December 2009. On my birthday at the end of November, we were having a rather wonderful, self-indulgent day in town (more of which later! And spotted this strange aparition at the Christmas market. These angels were 7 feet tall, with fantastic, white, feathered wings. Best of all, they were on wheels! I love to think my council tax is being spent on such gloriously eccentric entertainment! Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Or a large brandy?

My Half-finished Life: An Edinburgh oasis
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2011/03/edinburgh-oasis.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Friday, 4 March 2011. On Sunday, there was a whisper of spring in the air and so we finally made it to Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Or The Botanics, as everyone in Edinburgh calls it, to look at the new visitor centre. It's only been open for a mere 18 months. Sigh. Inverleith House Gallery and spring crocus in the Botanics. A specially commissioned exhibition of tights made by students at Edinburgh College of Art,. Gorgeous food, relaxed ambienc...

My Half-finished Life: At last .....
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2010/09/and-finally.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Tuesday, 14 September 2010. I'm running a personal development course at the end of October. I'm really excited about it. However, it strikes me that its stumbling genesis is typical of my way of going about getting anything done. It also illustrates perfectly how those of us not blessed with the 'planning and organisation' gene, lurch into action. 65279;. Judging vs Perceiving approach to tasks. Result of another squiggle!

My Half-finished Life: Shock news: Shakespeare is funny
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2011/02/shock-news-shakespeare-is-funny.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Friday, 25 February 2011. Shock news: Shakespeare is funny. Well I was wrong. We went to see a production of the Comedy of Errors by Propellor. Last night - and frequently. As a bonus, the mariachi band played raucous versions of Eurythmics hits in the interval. Photo by Manuel Har / Propellor. I hope I haven't made this sound naff or dumbed down. Because in amongst all the cross-dressing and running gags, the language was Shakespeare's and was ...

My Half-finished Life: Hello Old Fruit
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2011/02/hello-old-fruit.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Sunday, 20 February 2011. I'm just recovering from a lengthy bout of laryngitis. What should I make of the gales of laughter that greets this news when any of my friends hear about it? Last weekend, we were lucky enough to be invited to share the birthday celebrations of our dear friend R. A 'biggie'. There's no bus pass involved, but he may find himself on the SAGA mailing lists. This is The Pineapple. A Landmark Trust property near Falkirk. It...

My Half-finished Life: Another Edinburgh walk
http://halffinishedlife.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-edinburgh-walk.html
A celebration of everyday life in all its imperfection. Saturday, 27 March 2010. The city fathers decided that the well-to-do burghers of the city needed somewhere more salubrious to live than the crowded Old Town (although I suppose it was just the 'Town' then! Where the gentry and hoi polloi mixed cheek by jowl in what was vividly called 'Auld Reekie' (i.e old stinky! Shows So the New Town is not new at all. Both the Old Town and the New Town are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Good New Town doors.
