It's Wintery weather

December can be one of the best times of the year – but no-one’s ever going to say it’s the easiest month of the year.

It’s dark and cold. The roads and the pavements can be snowy and icy (they certainly are today). The shops are busy, restaurants are busy and so are the carparks, . . . → Read More: It’s all wintery

So, what do you actually do?

Often after I meet people and tell them what I do, there is a pause, followed by “So, what do you actually do?” It’s a fair question. The word ‘Concierge’ tends to sum up someone sitting behind a desk – in a posh hotel, or the lobby of a block of flats. The average brit . . . → Read More: What do you actually do?

Changing Season, clearing wardrobes.

My sister posted on facebook at the weekend that she was spending her day clearing out her wardrobe. Next day she reported that her wardrobe looked great – but her spare room was now a disaster area. She had done a lot of thinking, but not made many decisions. With my help she’s finally getting . . . → Read More: Changing Season, clearing wardrobes.

You're Having a Laugh

Or at least you should be. It’s March, and March in Glasgow means one thing: The Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival Actually – that’s not really true. March is also the month of daffodils, and pancake day, but lets deal with the first one.

1st First Thursday

I’m very pleased to report that more than a dozen hardy souls faced the sideways rain and made it along to First Thursday yesterday. Even though many weren’t sure that they’d found the correct pub (it was a dark night). And were further much confused when directed to a door with a sign saying ‘Ladies . . . → Read More: Inaugural First Thursday

In with the New Year, out with the old clutter.

There’s nothing like the end of the Christmas Holidays to make us take a long hard look at our homes and especially our cupboards.

Did the Christmas Decorations really used to fit in that box? And where are we supposed to put that box that the expensive electrical gadget Bob got for Christmas? We don’t . . . → Read More: In with the New Year, out with the old clutter.

It’s coming up to that time of year

As you can see from my nice new santa hat, that season is fast approaching, and it’s time to start making plans.

Plans for Christmas; plans for New Year; plans for when you are taking time of; plans for what happens when you’re off; plans for celebrations – work and otherwise. And possibly most important . . . → Read More: It’s coming up to that time of year
