Hello from Arthur’s Seat Jul 30

Hello. We’re on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. Photos to follow later.


And later it is. So Peter, Alan and I went to the pub and then for a stroll up Arthur’s Seat. Peter had his digital compact, Alan had a digital SLR and I had my phone. Their photos are likely to be better (although my phone can blog from 273m up). Nevertheless, here are mine.

In brief Jul 25

Two things.

Via the UK law students comes this most quirky of stories:

A high-profile New Zealand lawyer has decided to wear women’s clothing to court to highlight male bias within the justice system.

Rob Moodie, 67, arrived at Wellington’s High Court on Monday in a blue women’s suit, stockings and a diamond brooch.

OK… In other news, Peter has organised a Short Notice Blogmeet in Edinburgh for this Sunday (30th). The plan is to have something to eat/drink before making our way up Arthur’s Seat to conduct the first volcano-based blogmeet. If you fancy joining us, pop a message in the Peter’s comment box.
