Idiot boys attack Joe Telfer
Looks like JT had a lucky escape after being pushed off the river wall on Saturday evening, while caring the swans.
It sounds like the sort of stupid act that can initially seem like a funny thing to do – after all, what’s more brave than a couple of young men pushing a much older man [...]
No news from Co-op?
I seem to recall the Inverness Courier stating the Co-op would be announcing it’s plans for NAirn back in April – but as yet I’ve not come across any further development on the topic.
Is it the case that I’ve simply missed news on the issue, or are the Co-op still dragging their feet, and the [...]
David Mitchell on Scottish Gaelic
Interesting video on YouTube as comedian David Mitchell gets on his soapbox about Scottish Gaelic:
More Zippo’s circus images
More images from the afternoon’s performance at Zippo’s Circus on the Farmer’s Showfield in Nairn below:
Also, just a note on animal cruelty – I’m quite aware that the circus industry in general has had a bad reputation for animal cruelty, and if Zippo’s had advertised any exotic animals, I would not have considered going.
However, the [...]
Pen on the mend
Just catching up with the local blogs, and was horrified to read JT’s coverage of the dog attack on the mother swan in our resident swan family.
Luckily, she appears to have been healing nicely over the past week.
However, the whole issue is a stark reminder that irresponsible dog owners can be a serious problem – [...]
Inverness commercial prices uncompetitive
I continue to be frustrated by the commercial property market around Nairn and Inverness as I look for offices to expand into.
On the one hand, Nairn is only a small town with very limited inventory in the first place, but the few properties that have come up that I could have bought for offices I’ve [...]
Nairn Skies 3: The Rainbow
The skies over Nairn continue to be breathtaking, with a whole vista of different scenes over the past few days.
A glorious deep red sunset last night, almost eerie orange clouds the night before, and before that, a striking double rainbow.
Now that the weather appears to be turning, perhaps we’ll see more of the sun and [...]
When Zippos Circus came to town
We took the family to Zippo’s Circus on Wednesday for the afternoon, figuring it was one of those events that could be very memorable for the children – and we weren’t wrong, for all the right reasons!
Firstly, we’ve suddenly seen a string of events using the Nairn farmer’s showfield, which has to be positive for [...]
Back from Nerja, Spain
Finally back from Nerja in Spain – been excited to go for a while as we were meeting up with family on holiday at the same time.
The weather was great, and there’s a lot around Nerja for a first time visitor to see – the caves, the mountain villages (such as Frigliana), and of course [...]
Smoke in the sky
Last night brown smoke was blowing in thick bands across Nairn. Giving the appearance of thin low cloud, according to the BBC news website, it originated from a 2 mile wide fire on moorland between Inverness and Daviot: Inverness moor blaze ‘under control’.
