Instagrammers Anonymous: Books, Blackness and Bond

By Contemplatingtheclouds @contempclouds

It’s been a quick week, hasn’t it? Doesn’t feel that long since I was last writing a instagram-y review of last week. Anyway, this week’s slightly delayed (because of James Bond Day) round-up is here – it’s a mixed bunch, but when is Instagrammers Anonymous not?

Last weekend we took a trip out to Blackness – it’s about 10 mins west of Edinburgh’s city boundary – and were greeted by incredibly strong winds and this incredible view.
Of all the things I’ve been told recently I think the most bewildering is when the woman sitting next to me on the bus on Wednesday evening told me that my choice of reading material was “odd”. I really don’t think it is – am I just losing the plot? Interesting, I learnt on that same bus journey (from the two chav-lettes sitting behind me) that “Jimmy’s missus has got the clap, but she’s no tellin’ ‘im”. The things you learn on buses…

Just like last year (and I imagine every year to come) there’s now a crunchy carpet around the streets as the leaves begin falling. I was greated by this flame-coloured puddle when trying to avoid the smell of paint in my office one lunch time.

As previously mentioned (several times) Friday was James Bond Day – the 50th anniversary of the premier of Dr No. It seemed almost rude not to watch it.

I’ve no idea what’ll feature next week or what I’m even doing – apart from my first very attempt to bake with yeast – but whatever you do I hope you enjoy it.
