I’m now three days into working for BSW in Earlston. It’s been grand so far – a very decent crowd involved down there. Work wise, it’s gonnae be good for my [rather meagre] unix skills – I’m already seeing stuff I used to know well come back to me as I see it all again. My colleagus know their stuff and I’m certain I’ll learn a great deal from them.

The journey is a breeze too – just over the half hour each way – and that included the snow this morning. As I come over Soutra at night, I can see the conga-lines on the bypass and the A1 – I don’t envy those folk.
