Willy Mason

We were lucky enough to see Willy Mason at Cabaret Voltaire this week. And well, we were not disappointed! I am always awe struck how some people are brave enough to get up on a stage by themselves and sing. I don't even think I could even make it onto the stage... It was a brilliant night and a tiny venue- here's a sample of Mr Mason's work....

When the world zigs, zag...

I'm going to see John Hegarty give a talk later this week. He is the man behind the BBH advertising agency and is responsible for some very memorable-not to mention famous- advertising campaigns including that jeans advert.



"...Cynicism is the death of creativity. Never become a cynic. That's the important thing."

When we were vikings...

I spent the evening playing Kubb in the Meadows- which is a game invented by the Vikings apparently- Anyway, it involves throwing sticks, at well essentially other sticks but it was a great way to spend a summer evening.

( I can report that no pillaging or further viking activities ensued)

North Berwick

An outing to North Berwick today. We went on the train-which gave the day a bit of an old school holiday-outing-vibe...
