I now find myself in a situation where I have to move on from the house that I currently rent. So I’m looking for somewhere else. Ideally I’ll stay local to the Scottish Borders area, but to be honest, I’m not sure that will be possible – there is very little to rent round here at the minute, and if I head too far East it makes travelling for work a pain – so I might end up in Carlisle!

Anyway, while working out exactly what needs to be sorted, I’ve come across a handy checklist from these good people: www.helpiammoving.com

Now I just need to find somewhere to move TO. Need to be out of this place by the 30th of October. Not long to go!

Well, I would post a pic, but it’s raining. Heavily. And I’ll be damned if I’m venturing out in it to get a decent shot of something (unless it’s whisky, and the hotel bar is good enough!).

I’m sitting in the Isle of Man, after having a very last minute call out to a client here – last minute as in the call was at 9:30 on Friday saying “We need you out here”. First flight I could book was 14:00. And so I’m here. At least I’m flying back on Monday – all being well.

Then it’s off to a client meeting on Tuesday, and a LONG drive followed by another one on Wednesday.

Who says that travelling for work is glamorous and enjoyable ?!?

At the weekend I went up to the Scottish bit of the British Superbikes – held at Knockhill.

It was a thoroughly wet day, but that didn’t stop a LOT of people turning up – was certainly busy up there. I arrived (on the bike of course) just before 9.

Managed to get a few pics, but the rain prevented me from getting any decent number of them.

Not a bike, but check this out … they were using the Audi R8 as safety cars … Now, they can keep a shot in the Ferrari, I’d love a shot in one of them!

Oh, and the rescue lot were there with their Sea King doing a display (and fundraising). They landed in the middle of the circuit
