The trials and tribulations of running a small hotel in the Scottish Borders. A tale of excessive alcohol and negative cashflow. Don't watch alone! Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Strange goings on at the tourist board today. At 6pm we had two folk booked in. Then a couple of Aussie tourists arrived in the bar.

My progress through the Open University course "Science, Engineering and Technology: A Course for Women Returners". Tuesday, February 13, 2007. I'm moving to wordpress with immediate effect.
