Full on Scotland


Just come back from a trip to Edinburgh - busy place. We, me and Richard, did one of these. Brilliant way of finding out about the city. Plus it ends in a pub! 

Also been doing a bit of work - tell me about it, I need a lie down. Some exciting AI work looking at how it can be used to lighted the burden of cyber and safety compliance with standards. Very impressive these tools.

Non-stop retirement

 It's tough this retirment stuff. 

Done quite a bit of travelling and sorting over the last 3 months. Wales, Glasgow, Wales again. Some bigger trips coming up.....

On things not travelling, we have now bought our 3rd and final (I think) Bob Dylan print - Roy's motel. We now have 3 motel scenes which just remind us of our time in the USA. Plus they are nice to looks at. Thank you Castle Fine Art.
