Big Galloot: Photographic Memory

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2012/03/photographic-memory.html

Monday, 19 March 2012. The woman in the picture below was 70 years old when it was taken. She still worked and walked 7 or 8 miles a day, every day, whatever the weather. She'd travelled over 50 miles (2 buses) to arrive at the appointed place and time, dressed for the occasion. That was 3 and a half years ago. Now she has no memory of that day or indeed many other days. Almost every scrap of her independence is gone. Alzheimer's is a proper cunt of a disease. 19 March 2012 at 21:18. Thanks lads. Ive...

Big Galloot: August 2010

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, 14 August 2010. Well, they weren't really excuses, more like stuff that I knew was coming and would have to dedicate time to. In all honesty, I'm the King of Procrastination, I don't actually need. An excuse. And the motivation to get out on the hills wasn't really there although I did at least get some. Outdoorsy stuff done, just nothing worth writing home about. So we had the wedding and, as stated previously, we couldn't have asked for a better day. Just marvellous. The last thing that was s...

Big Galloot: December 2010

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Friday, 31 December 2010. It's been a quick year. Highlight was getting married to my beautiful Mrs, closely followed by the birth of our beautiful grandson. Very little outdoor stuff happened. Quietest year in the last decade, in fact. Two or three bits of kit bought and a whole lot more sold on. I've little or no interest in such things right now but that may well change in the coming year. We'll see. But this year is nearly done and there's a new one waiting just over the horizon.

Big Galloot: Planning Application: FAIL

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2012/03/planning-application-fail.html

Saturday, 24 March 2012. Fife Council continue to show an admirable degree of common sense. It's a small victory but a victory nonetheless. Fingers crossed they dont go to appeal. On recent evidence, the Reporter would find in favour of the applicant. As you know, weve been through this already once with Scottish Power back in 2004. They got rejected and yet they went to appeal, only to withdraw at the last moment. Were hoping this time it will be it and they wont ever try again on Clatto. The opinions e...

Big Galloot: The Horses Mares Tail

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2012/03/horses-mares-tail.html

Tuesday, 27 March 2012. The Horses Mares Tail. A long weekend in Lochaber saw us in a variety of picturesque places and at least two well-known eateries, surrounded by mountains and lochans and stuff. Of course, the weather helped; 19C or thereabouts and just a tad unseasonal, given that we're still in March. Still, as I always say, Scotland in the sunshine is a sight to behold. Speaking of which; Me? In one of the most famous mountain locations in the Universe? Too much sun, that's what it was :o).

I LOVE ZOE THE CAT: October 2006

http://darlingzoe.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

I LOVE ZOE THE CAT. Not just another dumb cat blog. Friday, October 27, 2006. Yes it's more Brrrr than Purrrr today in my catty kitchen! Fifty nine degrees - enough to make a girl glad she's got all her fur on. Poor Peter worries about his fur though. Sits and looks in the mirror at the bits where it's worn off. He tries to act cheerful, but I can see how worried he is. Later today I betcha it'll be out with the buzzy thing and then there's his fur all over the floor. Posted by ZOE at 10:28 am. Chucking ...

Big Galloot: The Horns Of The Buffalo

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2012/03/horns-of-buffalo.html

Wednesday, 21 March 2012. The Horns Of The Buffalo. I found the graphic (below) while I was surfing for information on Little Raith Windfarm which I'd heard had been given the go-ahead. Sure enough, there are 9 100m turbines going up on the land between the A92 and the Mossmorran Petrochemical Plant. "What's the big deal? Those light blue bits btw, are areas marked for housing development. That's houses that no one around here can afford or even wants. More greenfield concreted over and trees and...The U...

Big Galloot: May 2010

http://biggalloot.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, 29 May 2010. And may your days be good and long upon the Earth. I'd be lying if I said there were no pre-wedding jitters because there were. Not about the getting married bit, more the social side. See, I don't do crowds and I'm not known as a party animal. Then there was the whole stand up and make a speech routine. So aye, a degree of trepidation was felt. Sometimes it's the little things that mean the most and can turn a great day into a perfect one. Now you will feel no rain,. Mac E's Stayi...
