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.
Here's a link to some of the work

Anyway - off to Loch Fyne festival now.....like you do.

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.

North Pole
Just of on a trip to the North Pole, well close enough to call it that. Going to Svalbard, like you do, for a bit of northern lights viewing.
Travel was also on the retirement agenda so packing some of that in while I can. Obviously taking my new sets pad with me. Just hope there is enough light to see something or I will be left sketching the night sky.
Maybe pictures as we go.....
