Perhaps my good spirits were a product of the fact that it was neither my death or that of anyone I loved that preoccupied me, but the demise of certainly Scotland's greatest thinker, probably Britain's, and possibly even the world's: David Hume.I went to Old Calton burial ground to see the Hume Mausoleum, designed by...

I am sitting, on my lovely squishy, brand new corner sofa (in Idemo black), looking out my turret window at my view to Calton Hill (I can see the National Monument and the Nelson Monument) with a groovy lamp lighting my man in the corner, looking at my fabo new living room. Now largely without boxes (less said about the spare room the better, natch) and with pictures to follow. Flat warming...
... to a permanent new home down the hill – in a three-floor building just behind Waverley Station on Calton Road – a former nightclub. It's an ambitious move that's both a major coup for the city's art scene and a highlight of this year's Edinburgh Art Festival.

I’ve not yet decided whether there’s room on my blogroll for a Scottish Nationalist - perhaps if she asks nicely!)

Geneva Calton , age 21, mother of two, underwent an abortion at Northside Family Planning Service in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 18, 1979. On the drive back home she was in pain, but she figured that this was just the cramping the clinic had told her to expect.
