Gingered up July ’23 Whoops, I seem to have slipped again on my gingered up, updates! I skipped April because we were in Scotland, then I made a plan to get this out in May, well that didn't happen. We're now at the end of June. Sod it, lets aim for the start of July… Continue reading Five things that got me gingered up this July ’23
It’s been a while! This was meant to drop last year, then this Jan, then we got to Feb and somehow we ended up in March!
This was meant to drop in February, but one thing led to another, lethargy, procrastination and the just can’t be bothered syndrome got in the way!Â
Freedom Day! It sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster, right. Wrong.
"Hey, Whatup dram fans, this is One Minute Whisky!" There's no better way to start this glorious Friday than a shout out to my cousin Stewart and my favourite Instagram account over the past few weeks – Dram Dabbler. I love watching the 'One Minute Whisky’ videos and the descriptive anecdotes he uses to describe… Continue reading This is One Minute Whisky!
In a recent creative experimental project, I've had some great fun playing around with the humble ampersand.
Half way through the year and we're nearly at the last hurdle for the easing of the lockdown restrictions. However the 21st June has now been pushed back four weeks because of those pesky variants still hanging around. Still, it doesn't stop the eternal creative army fighting the good fight and delivering some incredible work!… Continue reading Five things that got me gingered up this June ’21
In celebration of the fact that I recently received my first Covid-19 vaccine I thought it only appropriate I toast this monumental of occasions with a timely home-brew!
So here we find ourselves yet again, early January 2021 and back in lockdown 3.0! Blimey, just two weeks into the new year and we’ve had Brexit (whatever that was), a near civil war in the US and infections and deaths in the UK, due to Covid-19 are going through the roof! Thinking positively, nothing lasts forever, not even global pandemics. We have a vaccine being rolled out, we’re heading into Spring (although it doesn’t look or feel like that at the moment, just look out the window), it will get lighter by about two minutes every day and it’ll get warmer… …at some point.
So the second wave has come, we’ve had a fire break, a circuit breaker, a lockdown, tiers 1-3 (or 0-4 in Scotland) and now it looks like the vaccine has been given the green light just in time for this side of Christmas. Ding, and indeed dong, merrily on high, for some long awaited good news and cheer to finish off a rather bleak year! Oh, I forgot to mention Brexit, or should we just leave it there! Seasons greetings one and all. Be safe, be well, be healthy and stay creative. See you on the other side.
