Creative. Scotland.

1. When I am doing something like a presentation during the day, the whole lead up to it is spent in a state of anxiety. Sometimes that is hellish anxiety, other times it's mild. Today was mild.

2. I was here. Insights and Ideas at Creative Scotland. I had just sat down after speaking when I took this. It was ok. Kind of just blasted it, but hey ho.

3. Bucketing rain when I leave, which is fine, I'm brolleyed up. I make the train in seconds flat and find myself next to folk from Girvan that I think I kind of recognise. Someone's mum, or works in a shop or something. It was the side ponytail that gave it away.

4. I've been meaning to buy a waterproof jacket for ages and I have a feeling I may need it this weekend. Zara boys department does the trick.

5. Lemon sole, bashed Ayrshire tatties and asparagus for dinner. And gin. Ya dancer.
